This PC doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for windows 11 error - how to bypass?
I am currently having problems trying to upgrade to Windows 11. During the installation process, I receive an error message stating "This PC does not currently meet all system requirements for Windows 11". This is a major hurdle as I have checked the basic requirements and believe my system should be compatible. I am looking for advice on how to effectively bypass this error. Any guidance on tools or methods that can help me override this system check would be appreciated.
I had this problem before, and the hardware was incompatible even though it met the requirements. I used WinBootsMate, which bypasses the Windows 11 system check and allows you to complete the installation smoothly. It's very simple to create a boot disk, and then you won't encounter those annoying error prompts when installing.
I followed this tutorial (works for me)

@CraftHi
You can tweak the registry to bypass Windows 11's system requirements check, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart. This method involves changing some core system settings, so proceed with caution. Here’s how you do it:
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
- Right-click on "Setup", select "New" > "Key", and name it LabConfig.
- Under LabConfig, right-click, choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and create the following values:
BypassTPMCheck and set it to 1.
BypassSecureBootCheck and set it to 1.
BypassRAMCheck and set it to 1.
After that, close the registry editor, restart your computer, and give the Windows 11 installation another shot. This method can get rid of the annoying "This PC doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for Windows 11" error, but be aware it comes with some risks.I have installed Windows 11 on a very old laptop and it is working perfectly. It is recommended if the computer has SSD and more than 8GB RAM. There are a few nice tools/tricks to help you install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware even you receive the "This PC doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for windows 11" error.
- As per Microsoft:
Installing Windows 11 on PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 11, your PC will no longer be supported and won't be entitled to receive updates.

Try disabling it:
1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator (right-click on the Start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)").
2. Type "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off" and press Enter. I had this problem before, and the hardware was incompatible even though it met the requirements.

Using registry modification method is indeed an effective technique to bypass "this PC doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for windows 11" error. But this method may be risky for novices. The registry is a very important part of the Windows operating system that stores configuration information for the system and many programs. Incorrect registry modifications may cause a lot of harm.
If possible, check and upgrade hardware components that do not meet Windows 11 requirements, such as TPM modules. Although this may cost some money, it will ensure that your system is more stable and secure for future use.
