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.
