Help Needed: Install Windows 11 Without TPM on My PC

I can tell you about a time I helped a user set up a virtual machine to install windows 11 without tpm 2.0 and secure boot. This user was in a similar situation to you, his computer also failed the TPM 2.0 check, but he was eager to try out the new features of Windows 11. He decided to use a virtual machine to bypass TPM check.

First, we chose VMware Workstation and VirtualBox, both of which are very popular virtual machine software that support most operating systems. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we downloaded the official ISO file of Windows 11.

1. Open VMware and create a new virtual machine.
2. Select Install Disc Image File (ISO) and browse to the Windows 11 ISO file we downloaded.
3. As recommended, sufficient memory and processor resources were allocated.
4. Some adjustments to network and display settings were made to ensure the virtual machine runs smoothly.

During the installation process, Windows 11 installed smoothly in the virtual environment because the virtual machine itself simulates the required hardware environment, including TPM. After the installation is completed, the user can start exploring Windows 11, and all new features can be used, just like running in a real environment.

Although the system response speed may not be as fast as on a physical machine, especially when running some resource-intensive applications, but overall, the experience was successful. The user was very satisfied with it because he did not need to change any hardware to experience Windows 11.
