Possible to bypass Windows 11 cpu check with rufus?
Yes, it is possible to bypass Windows 11 CPU check with Rufus by creating a bootable USB with specific settings. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create a Windows 11 installation media that skips the CPU check:
How to Bypass Windows 11 CPU Check with Rufus:
1. Download the latest version of Rufus.
2. Ensure you have the official Windows 11 ISO file downloaded from Microsoft's website.
3. Plug in a USB drive with at least 8GB of space (all data will be erased).
4. Launch Rufus as administrator. Select the USB Drive and ISO.
5. Partition Scheme and Target System:
Partition scheme: GPT (for UEFI systems)
Target system: UEFI (non-CSM)
6. Under "Image options," select "Standard Windows installation" or leave as default.
7. Advanced Options (to bypass checks):
Click on the "Show advanced drive properties" checkbox.
Check "Add fixes for old BIOS or UEFI firmware" if available.
Important: To bypass CPU checks, you need to add a custom "Skip TPM and CPU checks" option via additional parameters.
8. Rufus itself doesn't have a direct checkbox for skipping CPU checks, but you can modify the installation media to do so by editing the registry or using a special "install.wim" with custom unattend.xml files.
9. Alternatively, you can modify the registry during setup or use tools like Rufus with the "Add Custom" option to inject the following boot parameter:
/skipTPMCheck /skipSecureBootCheck
10. Click "START" and wait for Rufus to create the bootable media with the bypass options.
