This PC doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for windows 11 error - how to bypass?
It is crucial to understand that bypassing these checks means installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware. Microsoft is very clear that your device will no longer be entitled to receive updates, including critical security updates. Proceed at your own risk.
Registry is the primary method to bypass the system requirements check without using any third-party tools.
This is the most common and officially acknowledged method for bypassing the checks during a clean installation. You can trigger it by entering a specific registry key during the setup process.
Steps:
- Begin the Windows 11 installation from your USB installation media.
- Proceed through the initial language and license screens until you reach the screen that says "Which type of installation do you want?" Click "Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)".
- You will now see a list of drives to install to. On this screen, press Shift + F10 on your keyboard. This will open a Command Prompt window.
- In the Command Prompt, type regedit and press Enter to launch the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to the following key in the left sidebar:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup - Right-click on the Setup folder, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig.
- Select the new LabConfig key. Now, right-click in the right-hand pane and create the following DWORD (32-bit) Values:
BypassTPMCheck: Set its value to 1
BypassSecureBootCheck: Set its value to 1
BypassRAMCheck: Set its value to 1
BypassStorageCheck: Set its value to 1
BypassCPUCheck: Set its value to 1
You only need to create the values for the checks you need to bypass (e.g., if your CPU is the only unsupported part, just create BypassCPUCheck).
Close the Registry Editor and the Command Prompt window.
Go back to the installation screen. Click the back arrow (<) in the top-left corner to return to the previous screen.
Now proceed with the installation as normal. The error should no longer appear.
