Can I install Windows 11 without secure boot and tpm 2.0?
I'm facing a challenge with installing Windows 11 on my system, which currently does not support Secure Boot and lacks TPM 2.0. I understand that these features are generally required for the install...
Download the latest Windows 11 version and use Rufus to create a USB installation media. At the beginning there are options to disable checks for TPM and other.
I used that several times in the past three years with no problems. My motherboard does support TPM but I disabled that. Also, I heavily modify Windows registry removing things I don't need or don't like. One of them is the dumb Windows Defender. I totally remove that thing from my PC. Among other things I also change the looks of the context menu. Never had any problems with updates or running my computer. Microsoft will not tell us how to use our computer and they cannot force us to use what they think we should.
Windows 11 will use a TPM1.2 device if discovered but as long as secure boot is available it will be fine. Next version of windows is likely to want 8GB RAM and dispense with DDR2 based machines at long last.
