why my pc is not eligible for windows 11?
I ran into this problem once, and I wanted to upgrade my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11, but the system kept saying that my PC is not eligible for Windows 11. This drove me crazy because my PC had pretty good specs: Intel Core i7 2600, 16GB RAM, GeForce GT 520. Later, I found a way to bypass the check and successfully installed Windows 11.
First, I made a Windows 11 installation USB using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. When I booted from the USB and tried to install, it said it was not eligible again. So I pressed Shift+F10 to open the command prompt and typed regedit to launch the registry editor.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\.
- Right-click the Setup folder, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig.
- In the LabConfig folder, right-click in the blank space on the right, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, name it BypassTPMCheck, and double-click to set its value to 1.
- Repeat the above steps to create BypassRAMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck, and set their values to 1 as well.
After setting these, I closed the registry editor and command prompt and returned to the installation interface to continue the installation. As a result, the installation went smoothly this time, and there was no prompt that the hardware did not meet the requirements. Although the whole process was a bit tiring, I finally successfully installed Windows 11.
