How to bypass windows 11 system requirements during installation on an old Laptop?
Hi, I have a Dell XPS 13 laptop bought in 2016. It comes with Intel Core i5-5200U, 4GB RAM and 128 SSD. When I am trying to install Windows 11 from a USB drive on this laptop, an error pops up an...
Apparently, the CPU and RAM don't meet the Windows 11 system requirements. The CPU should be Intel 8th Gen and RAM should be 8GB or more.
One of the easier methods to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware is to modify the Windows Registry during the installation process. This method involves creating a Windows 11 installation media, booting from it, and then making a registry change before the compatibility check.1. Go to the official Microsoft website to download the Windows 11 ISO file.
2. Use tools like Windows Media Creation Tool to create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive from the ISO file.
3. Boot your PC from the USB drive and start the Windows 11 installation process. Follow the prompts until you reach the screen where it says your PC can't run Windows 11.
4. Press Shift + F10. This key combination opens a Command Prompt window during the installation process.
5. In the Command Prompt, type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. Now, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
6. Right-click on the Setup key, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig. Inside the LabConfig key, create new DWORD (32-bit) Value entries with the following names and values:
BypassTPMCheck and set its value to 1.
BypassSecureBootCheck and set its value to 1.
Create BypassCPUCheck and set its value to 1.7. Close Registry Editor and the Command Prompt, then continue with the installation process. The setup should now bypass Windows 11 system requirements.

Some of these hacks won't work in a very soon future
Karl-WE they will always work because it's not tied to machine it's just software so it can be easily bypassed
- When you managed to bypass the SSE 4.2 requirement coming, which is tied to CPU Hardware capabilities, I would be glad to be tagged again.
