How to Bypass windows 11 compatibility check for CPU and TPM 2.0
To bypass Windows 11 compatibility check, if you don't want to modify the whole ISO, you can still perform the registry bypass manually, but in at more complex way than using a simple script, you can use a .reg file you've manually created.
During the Windows 11 installation, when you see the "This PC can't run Windows 11" message. How do you to bypass Windows 11 compatibility check:
- Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt.
- Type notepad and press Enter. This opens Notepad in the installation environment.
- In Notepad, go to File > Open and navigate to the drive containing your installation media.
- Save the file with a .reg extension (e.g., bypass.reg), making sure to set the "Save as type" dropdown to "All Files".
- Right-click the newly created bypass.reg file and select Merge.
- Close Notepad and the Command Prompt, then continue the installation. The hardware check should now be bypassed.
Microsoft has removed official support for some registry workarounds, and newer versions of Windows 11, especially from the 24H2 update onward, might be less tolerant of these modifications. While community methods continue to evolve, success is not guaranteed on every version. Even with these bypasses, your CPU must still support certain instruction sets like SSE4.2, which are a hard requirement for Windows 11 24H2 to boot.
