How can I bypass Windows 11 system requirements for version 24H2 on unsupported PC?
Hey there! So, you want to get Windows 11 on a PC that doesn't quite meet the requirements, huh? I totally get that—sometimes, the specs on paper are just way too strict. Here’s a little rundown on what you can do to bypass Windows 11 requirements.
1. Checking Requirements First
First things first, check if your PC is close to the requirements. Windows 11 wants a 64-bit processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, TPM 2.0, and Secure Boot. If your CPU is a bit older but still decent, you might be in luck.
2. Use the Registry Hack
Now, if you’re feeling adventurous, there’s a registry tweak you can do. Here’s a quick overview:
- Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup.
- Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit), and name it AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU.
- Set its value to 1.
This little hack tricks Windows 11 into thinking your PC is good to go.
3. Use the Installation Assistant
If you're not too keen on jumping into the registry, Microsoft has an Installation Assistant. Download it, and sometimes it lets you bypass some of the checks if your system is not too far off.
4. Create a Bootable USB
You can download the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft’s website. Use a tool to create a bootable USB drive. When you're installing, it might let you skip the requirements check.
Just boot from the USB and follow the prompts, but keep in mind things might get a bit iffy if your hardware is way under the required specs. Good luck bypassing Windows 11 requirements.
