Registry Bypass edits the Windows registry to bypass Windows 11 hardware checks, fixing upgrade failures on AMD devices with unmet TPM/Secure Boot/CPU requirements. This tool-free method enables upgrade to windows 11 on a AMD processor—a common workaround for older AMD devices, with changes taking effect during installation.

How to upgrade to windows 11 on a AMD processor

  1. Create an official Windows 11 USB installer, boot your AMD device from it and enter the installation screen.
  2. When seeing "This PC cannot run Windows 11", press Shift+F10, type regedit and open Registry Editor.
  3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup, create a new key named LabConfig.
  4. In LabConfig, make three DWORD (32-bit) values: BypassTPMCheck, BypassSecureBootCheck, BypassCPUCheck, set all to 1.
  5. Close the editor and CMD, click back then Next to skip checks and install.

Disadvantages

  • Exact registry operation is required; beginners may fail or damage the system by mistake.
  • AMD devices may have stability issuesand non-functional Win11 features.
  • Disabled TPM/Secure Boot weakens system security, increasing malware attack risks.
