How can I bypass Windows 11 system requirements for version 24H2 on unsupported PC?
Windows 11 enforces requirements like TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and a supported CPU through the setup process. However, Microsoft allows certain registry modifications to bypass these checks, mainly for business users and IT professionals upgrading older devices.
You can bypass Windows 11 system requirements checks by modifying the Windows registry because the setup process relies on certain registry keys to enforce hardware requirements. By changing or adding specific registry values, you can trick the installer into skipping these checks.
To bypass Windows 11 24H2 system requirements, you can modify the registry as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHC]
"UpgradeEligibility"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup]
"AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]
"BypassRAMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
By modifying these keys, Windows installation proceeds without checking the TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, and CPU requirements. This method allows you installing Windows 11 24H2 on old computer (unsupported hardware), but Microsoft warns that unsupported PC will not receive updates or optimal performance.
