You can also install the test versions of Windows 11 without TPM , this will not work with the official release of MS Windows 11!Info:
Windows 11 cannot be installed on some computers due to higher system requirements. You can currently also create a virtual HD image and then use it, but all these possibilities will not work with the official version of MS Windows 11! That's an interesting observation 😊 – Microsoft officially requires TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and certain CPU generations for Windows 11. Nevertheless, it is possible to install Windows 11 without a TPM. This is because the setup checks are not "technically required," but rather artificial hurdles that Microsoft has built into the installer. There are several reasons why your installation worked without a TPM: 1. Official: Installation workarounds by Microsoft itself 2. Unofficial Methods 3. Microsoft's Strategy 1.) Official: Installation workarounds by Microsoft itselfMicrosoft has deliberately left a backdoor: * If a device has TPM 1.2 (or no TPM at all) and you set a specific registry key (`AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU=1`), the check is skipped during installation. * The query can also be bypassed using certain installation methods such as in-place upgrade with ISO file or manually creating a boot stick with modified setup files. 2.) Unofficial MethodsMany users use tricks, for example: * Patch setup files: `appraiserres.dll` is deleted or replaced in the installation media. * Adjust the registry during setup (e.g., `BypassTPMCheck`, `BypassSecureBootCheck`). * Third-party tools such as Rufus offer to automatically remove TPM and CPU checks when creating the installation stick. 3.) Microsoft's StrategySo, Microsoft is not completely preventing the installation from a technical perspective, but rather wants to "deter" users. Devices without TPM 2.0 will get Windows 11, but: * Microsoft does not guarantee stability, updates, or support. * Security features like BitLocker, Windows Hello with biometric data, or Device Encryption are limited or not usable at all. 👉 In short: You were able to install Windows 11 without a TPM because Microsoft only included installation hurdles, but no technical barriers. These can be circumvented with some registry tweaking, installation stick patching, or tools like Rufus – and Microsoft itself has tacitly accepted this backdoor. I have a 32-bit device. Can I upgrade to Windows 11?Unfortunately, no! According to MS, many hardware innovations have happened in the PC area since the introduction of Windows 10 six years ago. In order for Windows to move forward and take better advantage of the latest innovations, MS needs to increase the basic system requirements for modern PCs.

If devices do not meet the new hardware requirements, there may be problems and errors that affect the experience of Windows 11 on these PCs and may not be resolved. All Windows Insiders who have already installed builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs by June 24, 2021 are still allowed to install Windows 11 Insider Preview builds, even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements.
