Microsoft has released an official procedure to circumvent the TPM 2.0 chip check. Therefore, it allows you to install Windows 11 on computers that do not have it.
It is probably a reaction to the fact that circumvention of the control is possible using an unofficial script anyway, so for security reasons, he came up with an official procedure. The following registry modification should suffice. You will still need TPM 1.2, which has many more computers.
You probably have TPM 1.2, but in theory you may need to enable it in the BIOS anyway. You can easily find out how to do it by typing the command tpm.msc (Win + R).
How to bypass the TPM 2.0 check:
- Start Registry Editor
- Click to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM Setup MoSetup level
- Create a new DWORD value here and name it AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
- Set its value to 1
- Restart the computer
Be aware that although this is an official Microsoft procedure, any intervention in the registry without the necessary knowledge can lead to a broken computer and the need for a complete reinstallation of Windows.
Your computer must still meet the other minimum parameters, which should no longer be an obstacle for most machines. However, the TPM 2.0 chip is still an important component and may not pay off. There is also no need to rush to upgrade to Windows 11. Windows 10 support is guaranteed until 2025.
