How to fix: "This pc doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11"

I've encountered a similar problem before, and it took me a long time to solve it. It sounds like your hardware meets the requirements of Windows 11, but the installation process is still stuck. This situation is sometimes not a hardware problem, but the Windows installer itself is too strict in checking the system environment.
I finally solved it with WinBootsMate. This tool is a bit niche, but it works well.

It can help you skip some of the detection steps of Windows 11 and make the installation process go smoothly.
Hi,
It sounds like you've done a lot already! Here are a few steps to try:
PC Health Check Tool: Run this to see the exact compatibility issue.
Double-Check TPM and Secure Boot: Ensure both are properly enabled in BIOS and verify TPM in Windows Security > Device Security.
Check CPU Compatibility: Verify your processor is on the official Windows 11 supported list.
Workaround: If all else fails, you can bypass the requirements using Microsoft's documented registry tweak, though it comes with some risk.
Hope this helps!
