    You can use the Rufus tool to help you install Windows 11 on unsupported PC.

    1. Check system requirements:

    Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, including processor, memory, storage, firmware, TPM, and graphics card requirements.

    2. Update Windows 10:

    Make sure your existing Windows 10 operating system is up to date. You can check for and install updates via Settings -> Update and Security -> Windows Update.

    3. Join the Windows Insider program:

    Ensure that you have properly joined the Windows Insider Program and selected the appropriate channel (Dev, Beta, or Release Preview). This can be done in Settings -> Update and Security -> Windows Insider Program.

    4. Clear disk space:

    Make sure you have enough disk space on your computer to install the update. Usually at least 20GB of free space is required.

    5. Disable antivirus software:

    Some third-party antivirus software may interfere with the installation of updates. You can try disabling them temporarily and then installing them again.

    Ensure you're properly enrolled in the Windows Insider Program:
    Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program and verify that you've selected your Insider settings (Dev, Beta, or Release Preview).
    If you're not enrolled, or if you've switched rings, you might need to wait for the next available build.

    Go and buy a new TPM 2.0 chip. This error would pop up again for further insider build.

      This is only recommended for advanced users who know how to deal with the computer parts. It could easily mess up the device for incompatible hardware. In fact, there are many free ways to help you install Windows 11 without TPM chip.

    Check System Requirements:

    Ensure that your PC meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11:
    1 GHz or faster processor with at least 2 cores on compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
    4 GB RAM or more.
    64 GB storage or more.
    DirectX 12 compatible graphics with a WDDM 2.0 driver.
    TPM version 2.0.
    Secure Boot capable firmware.

    2. Join the Windows Insider Program:

    Make sure that you are enrolled in the Windows Insider Program and that you have selected the appropriate channel (Dev, Beta, or Release Preview).

    3. Update Windows:

    Ensure that your current version of Windows is updated to the latest stable build. Sometimes you may need to apply an update before you can upgrade to an Insider build.

    4. Check Insider Settings:

    Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program and verify that your Insider settings are correct.

        This won't work as TPM 2.0 chip is required to run Windows 11.

    This PC does not meet the system requirements of Windows 11. You need to upgrade the hardware or stick to the current OS.

    You should upgrade the motherboard with a TPM 2.0 chip that required by Windows 11.
