How can I bypass windows 11 upgrade requirements for tpm and cpu

What are the hardware specs? Now, it is easy to upgrade to Windows 11 on an unsupported hardware.

The method is to use a simple Group Policy edit that is built into Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education. If you have Windows 10 Home, you can achieve the same result with a single, specific command that directly enables this policy. This method works for you to bypass windows 11 upgrade requirements, because it tells the Windows 11 setup to ignore the compatibility checks during the upgrade process, allowing a standard, official ISO to proceed.

How to Bypass Windows 11 upgrade Requirements If You have Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education

1. Double-click the Windows 11 25H2 ISO file you downloaded. It will appear as a new drive (e.g., D:).
2. Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
3. In the Group Policy Editor, go to: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> "Windows Update for Business".
4. In the right-hand pane, find the policy named "Turn off the offer to upgrade to Windows 11".
5. Double-click on it.
6. Set it to Enabled.
7. Click Apply and OK.
8. Double-click it, set it to Enabled.
9. In the "Options" section, set the Target Version Information to Windows 11 and the Target release version to 25H2.
10. Click Apply and OK.
11. Open the mounted ISO drive and run setup.exe.
12. The upgrade should now proceed without the TPM/CPU error.

To bypass Windows 11 upgrade requirements, some community-created ISO images or scripts modify the install process to skip hardware checks. This involves downloading a pre-modified ISO or injecting scripts during setup.

Here's what you need to consider:

• Modified ISO Files: These are custom versions of the Windows 11 installer that have been altered to skip hardware checks. They are often shared on forums or third-party sites, but downloading and using them can expose your system to malware or unstable builds.
• Auto-Bypass Scripts: Scripts or tools that modify the setup process to ignore TPM and CPU requirements. Using these typically involves booting into special environments or injecting code during installation, which can be complex and risky.

When you Bypassing Windows 11 upgrade Requirements:

• You download ISO files from reputable sources (though official sources are safest, they enforce requirements).
• You verify the integrity and safety of any third-party tools or scripts.
• You understand that these methods may lead to system instability or security vulnerabilities.

Alternatively, consider these options:

• Upgrading your hardware to meet Windows 11 requirements.
• Continuing to use Windows 10, which will be supported until October 14, 2025.
• Installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware using unsupported methods at your own risk, knowing it might not be stable or secure.

There are a couple of solutions out there to help you bypass Windows 11 upgrade requirements. You can get it done by changing the current registry.

Now, open registry editor in Windows and add the following three keys to LabConfig under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup:

BypassTPMCheck

BypassSecureBootCheck

BypassCPUCheck

After that, set the value of three keys to 0. 

Next, download the latest Windows 11 ISO and run the setup.exe to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 without meeting all system requirements.

As far as I know, Microsoft is pushing a new security standard called the Windows 11 Security Baseline. The core features of this baseline rely on specific hardware capabilities that were either not present or not universally implemented in older CPUs.

The three most critical technologies are:

Virtualization-Based Security (VBS): This uses hardware virtualization to create an isolated, hypervisor-protected region of memory. 

Core Isolation & Memory Integrity (HVCI): This is a key feature of VBS. It acts as a bodyguard for the kernel, verifying that all code running there is from a trusted source. 

Mode-based Execution Control (MBEC):  a CPU feature that makes VBS and HVCI much more efficient. Without it, the performance hit from these security features was significant.

Why you need a modern CPU to run Windows 11? Intel 8th Gen (and newer) CPUs have native MBEC built into the hardware. Some Intel 7th Gen CPUs (like the i7-7820HQ in the Surface Studio 2) also have a version of this technology, which is why they made the official support list.

Older 7th Gen and prior CPUs lack this hardware-level efficiency. If you don't need these new security features, then you can safely bypass Windows 11 upgrade requirements and there is no issue to run Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.

Your CPU must be from the following generations or newer to be officially supported for a clean installation or upgrade via Windows Update.

1. Intel    8th Gen (Coffee Lake) and newer    Examples: Core i3-8100, i5-8500, i7-8700
2. AMD    Ryzen 2000 series and newer    Examples: Ryzen 3 2300X, Ryzen 5 2600, Ryzen 7 2700X
3. Qualcomm    Snapdragon 850 and newer    For Always Connected PCs (e.g., Microsoft SQ1, SQ2)

Important Notes:

• Some Intel 7th Gen processors are officially supported, but only specific Xeon and Core i models from the 7820HQ, found in certain Microsoft Surface Studio 2 devices.
• Atom, Celeron, and Pentium processors from the "Jasper Lake" and "Elkhart Lake" families (e.g., N4500, N5030) are also supported.
• You can no longer officially install Windows 11 on a 1st Gen Ryzen (e.g., 1600) or a 7th Gen Intel Core processor (e.g., i7-7700K), even if they are powerful enough.

The Windows 11 processor requirements are intentionally strict to push the ecosystem towards modern hardware security. If your PC is from 2018 or later, it likely supports Windows 11 officially.

If your CPU is older,  you have to bypass windows 11 upgrade requirements or replace with an Windows 11 supported CPU.
