TPM 2.0 support is not required, TPM 1.2 is sufficient for Windows 11 updates

While some users are working on how to move from the new Windows 11 back to Windows 10 after the inconvenience of the “Start menu” and performance drops on Ryzen processors, others would like to try out the eleven on older systems.

The good news is that it is possible. A small flaw in the beauty remains the fact that although Microsoft stated in the original Windows 11 documentation that a sufficient bud (f) TPM 1.2, in the end it is unfortunately not enough that it would work completely automatically, by itself. As we already know, Microsoft allows elevens to be installed on a system that does not meet some minimum requirements. The downside is that such a system does not need to be updated, which for most users means that such a hardware / software combination is unusable.

In the end, however, TPM in version 2.0 is not really necessary, and according to Microsoft, the system can be fully deployed on an assembly that supports TPM 1.2 (eg the mentioned platforms for Ryzens of the first generation).

  • open regedit
  • rozbalte: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupMoSetup
  • find or create: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
  • REG_DWORD
  • enter a value of 1

Of course, use Regedit only if you know what you are doing. Back up your system or at least the registry in advance to be sure. After a reboot, TPM 1.2 compatible systems should suffice for Windows 11 updates.
