How to Bypass windows 11 compatibility check for CPU and TPM 2.0
Windows 11 requires 8th Gen Intel CPU and TPM 2.0. If your computer does not meet these hardware requirements, then here is a simple way to bypass the check.
Quick steps:

I would first run the PC Health Check app and confirm exactly which requirement is blocking the upgrade, because unsupported CPU and missing TPM are not the same problem. If the machine has TPM 2.0 available but disabled, check the BIOS/UEFI security settings and turn on TPM, Intel PTT, or AMD fTPM, then boot back into Windows and check again. If the processor is genuinely outside the supported list, the clean path is to keep Windows 10 fully updated while it remains supported, or move the Windows 11 upgrade to hardware that meets the requirements. Back up your files before making firmware changes, and avoid treating a smooth Windows 10 experience as proof that Windows 11 will be supported on that device.
