Windows 11 has strict hardware requirements, but there’s a way to bypass them during setup using simple registry modifications. Follow these steps to proceed with installation on unsupported hardware.
Step 1: Start Windows 11 Setup
Insert your Windows 11 installation USB drive and boot from it. Continue until you reach the setup screen.
Step 2: Open Command Prompt
Press Shift + F10 on the setup screen to launch the Command Prompt.
Step 3: Access Registry Editor
Type regedit in the Command Prompt and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
Step 4: Modify the Registry
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
Right-click on Setup, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig (exactly as written).
Inside LabConfig, create the following DWORD (32-bit) values:
- BypassTPMCheck
- BypassSecureBootCheck
- BypassRAMCheck
- BypassCPUCheck
Double-click each value and set its Value data to 1.
Step 5: Complete Installation
Exit the Registry Editor, return to the setup screen, and proceed with the installation as usual.
By making these adjustments, you can bypass Windows 11’s Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, RAM, and CPU requirements, allowing installation on unsupported hardware.
