If your PC doesn’t meet Windows 11’s hardware requirements—like lacking TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or a supported CPU—you can still perform a clean install using WinnBootMate. This handy tool automatically patches the installer so the setup won’t block your system during installation. It’s a safer, easier alternative to registry edits or file replacements.

Steps to bypass windows 11 requirements:

(1) Download the official Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft’s website.
(2) Install and open Winn on your computer.
(3) Insert a USB drive (8GB or larger) and back up its contents.
(4) Load the Windows 11 ISO into the app.
(5) Turn on the option “Bypass Windows 11 system checks (TPM/Secure Boot/CPU)”.
(6) Click Start to create the bootable USB.
(7) Boot your PC from this USB and perform a clean install — the hardware checks will be skipped automatically.
