Using the DISM Image Application Method is a highly effective and completely free way to bypass Windows 11 compatibility check. This advanced technique involves applying the Windows 11 image directly to your hard drive using the command line, which officially bypasses the checks for TPM 2.0 and CPU model.
The core reason this works is that Microsoft's own documentation states an image install will not check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and CPU family and model. This makes it a powerful, registry-free solution to bypass Windows 11 compatibility check on unsupported hardware. While this method is somewhat arcane and complex, it is a viable option if you want to bypass Windows 11 compatibility check and install the operating system on older machines that are otherwise capable.
