Why My PC can't be upgraded to Windows 11 25H2?

TPM 2.0 is also required for Windows 11 25H2. Fortunately, you can easily skip CPU and TPM 2.0 check by using a customized AutoUnattend.xml file.
AutoUnattend.xml is an XML script read automatically by Windows Setup during boot from installation media. It defines instructions for each setup phase. For example, which edition to install, product key, partition settings, user accounts, and regional preferences.
If placed in the root of a Windows installation USB and named AutoUnattend.xml, Windows Setup will detect it and follow the scripted responses instead of prompting the user. This is one the best ways to fix this PC can't be upgraded to Windows 11 25H2 issue.
How to use:
- Create a Windows 11 USB (official ISO + Rufus or MediaCreationTool output).
- Put the file below named autounattend.xml (exact name) in the root of the USB drive (not in any folder).
- Boot the target PC from the USB and run setup — the file runs during Windows PE phase and writes the registry entries that skip the checks.
- After install, confirm everything works and apply drivers/updates as needed.
