How to bypass or fix the processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11
- Aug 23, 2025
No need to worry about this too much as there are a couple of ways to fix this issue. In fact, you can still install windows 11 on very old CPU. Here is the trick that worked for me recently:

Don't use Rufus!!!!
I wasted 3 USB flash drive and it did not work at all.
Now, the USB drive is no longer recognized by my Windows 10 computer. Please go with the best answer in this thread if you want to bypass the processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11 issue on your unsupported hardware. It is much safer and easy for the job!
Rufus is perfectly fine. i dont know how you can waste 3 usb drives. i always use rufus to install windows 11 to older machines. make sure that you use the latest version of rufus as these versions have the options to disable TPM, Secure Boot and the 4gb ram limit. you could have a faulty usb drive if it isn't recognised have you tried it on a different device to make sure it is not a faulty usb drive. also you need to make sure that your bios supports booting from UEFI media.
