Rufus Beta 2 can now disable TPM and Secure Boot requirements while creating Windows Installation media. So you donโ€™t need to go through all the trouble as shown above. You can now directly choose to bypass TPM check and secure boot check while creating a bootable Windows 11 USB drive.

  • Flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS
  • Run a low-level utility

Here is the latest Rufus 3.16 Beta 2 changelog:

Microsoftโ€™s method to bypass the check for TPM 2.0 and the CPU family and model

Here is Microsoftโ€™s very own method to install Windows 11 on unsupported Windows PCs. It requires some Registry tweaks and you are good to go. However, you at least need TPM 1.2 as per Microsoft.

As for the CPU and other hardware requirements, Microsoft officially allows installing Windows 11 using install media on any model or generation of CPU as long as you meet the other requirements. So if your PC can run Windows 10, it most likely can run Windows 11.

  • You can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.
  • In Windows Search โ€“ Registry โ€“ and launch Registry Editor. OR, Right-click Start , then select Run. Type regedit in the Open: box, and then select OK.
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

      Hi,
      It’s mostly false positive. You can ignore it. If you don’t trust the code, you can also use Microsoft’s very own method to bypass TPM. It requires you to edit Registry:
