While upgrading your computer can be quite expensive, there is a way to bypass the check for the system hardware requirements in Windows 11’s installation process and install the operating system as normal. AveYo, a developer on GitHub, has come up with a script that is publicly available from which you can download a Windows 11 ISO image or create a bootable device that will no longer scan your system for minimum hardware requirements, including TPM 2.0. This will allow Windows 11 to be installed on any computer, including the Virtual Machines (VMs) which also need the base computer to have TPM 2.0 to install Windows 11. Let us now continue to learn how you can download a Windows 11 ISO image that will no longer ask for the typical minimum system requirements.
Download Windows 11 ISO without meeting system requirements
We had previously covered the Universal Media Creation Tool by AveYo in a post to download any version of Windows 10. However, the famous developer has now made modifications to the tool to include Windows 11 without it checking for hardware specifications. When the script is executed, it creates a new Registry value by the name AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup and sets its value to 1. It also removes the appraiserres.dll file from the sources folder within the ISO file. Note: You can also install Windows 11 without TPM and Secure Boot manually. Follow the guide given below to download and install Windows 11 using the Universal Media Creation Tool: You can now use this downloaded ISO image to deploy Windows 11 on any PC or VM that may or may not have TPM 2.0. To create a multi-boot USB drive, try using Ventoy.
Create Windows 11 USB flash drive without meeting system requirements using Rufus 3.16 Beta 2
Here’s how you can create a bootable USB flash drive to bypass Windows 11 system requirements checks using third-party software. Note that this method does not require a modified Windows 11 ISO image, but a regular one. Download Windows 11 ISO images. With this method, you can begin installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the minimum system requirements for the OS.
Verdict
Installing Windows 11 through the Universal Media Creation Tool will not only skip TPM 2.0 and other hardware specifications scanning at this time but for all future updates as well. Meaning, you will be able to receive updates through Windows Updates without having to perform any additional steps to avoid hardware scanning.
