To bypass the "This PC Can't run Windows 11" error when using a bootable USB disk, you can modify the installation files to circumvent the system requirements check. During the installation process, when the error message appears, press Shift + F10 to open a Command Prompt window. Then, enter `regedit` to open the Registry Editor. Navigate to `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup` and create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named `AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU`. Double click on it and set the value to `1`. Close the Registry Editor and Command Prompt, then proceed with the installation. This tweak should allow you to continue installing Windows 11 on your PC, even if it doesn't meet the official system requirements. Keep in mind that bypassing these requirements may lead to performance or compatibility issues, so it's advisable to use Windows 11 on unsupported hardware cautiously.
