If you’ve been trying to install Windows 11 but keep hitting a roadblock due to the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) requirement, don’t worry—there’s a workaround! With a few tweaks to the registry, you can bypass the TPM and Secure Boot checks, allowing you to proceed with the installation. Here’s how:
Step-by-Step Guide to Install Windows 11 Without TPM
Boot to the Windows ISO
Begin by booting from the Windows 11 installation media (USB or ISO). Once you reach the first setup screen, press Shift + F10 to open the Command Prompt.
Open the Registry Editor
In the Command Prompt, type regedit and hit Enter. This will open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the Setup Directory
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
Create a New Key
Inside the Setup directory, create a new key and name it LabConfig.
Add DWORD Entries
Within the LabConfig directory, create the following two DWORD (32-bit) values:
BypassTPMCheck
BypassSecureBootCheck
Set the value of both entries to 1.
Close and Proceed with Installation
After making these changes, close the Registry Editor and the Command Prompt. Then, continue with the Windows 11 installation process.
The system check will now be bypassed, and the installation will proceed without requiring TPM or Secure Boot.
While this method allows you to install Windows 11 on systems without TPM or Secure Boot, keep in mind that Microsoft has implemented these requirements for security purposes. Proceed at your own discretion, and ensure you’ve backed up important data before making any changes.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to enjoy Windows 11 on older hardware without unnecessary restrictions.
