elliot-williamsOne simple trick is by editing the Registry during Windows 11 installation.
- Boot from the Windows 11 USB drive.
- When you see the "This PC can't run Windows 11" message, press Shift + F10 to open the Command Prompt.
- Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
- Right-click on Setup and select New > Key. Name it LabConfig.
- Right-click on LabConfig and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it BypassTPMCheck.
- Double-click on BypassTPMCheck and set the value to 1.
- Create another DWORD (32-bit) value named BypassSecureBootCheck and set the value to 1.
- Close the Registry Editor and Command Prompt.
- Continue with the installation.
At this time, you won't see any error and you can proceed to install Windows 11 on a PC without TPM. However, this is not an user friendly solution, especially for newbies.

Have you had any issues with your Windows 11 install?
Does it update OK?Did it activate (digital license or whatever)?
