Windows 11 is the new operating system in town that seems to surprise everyone. The new OS brings a bunch of new changes including the ability to emulate and run Android apps, a new frosted glass UI, background optimizations, kernel changes, app integrations and much more.
Installing Windows 11 on an unsupported CPU and TPM 1.2
Everyone seems to be itching to get their hands on Windows 11, but unfortunately the operating system has some hardware requirements that make it a pain to install on older systems. A recent registry hack seems to be able to bypass these requirements, but should you use it? And if so, how do you do it? Let’s find out!
The registry bypass is a nominal change to your registry that helps disable the TPM 2.0 check on your system when installing Windows 11. TPM or Trusted Platform Module is a secure chip on your motherboard that stores important data such as your Windows Hello credentials, passwords, encryption keys, and more. These TPM 2.0 checks and requirements can be bypassed by using the Windows 11 registry hack.
TPM 2.0 is a requirement for Windows 11 that is unfortunately missing on PCs purchased before 2017-16. This prevents users with these systems from installing Windows 11 on their system, despite having sufficient resources to run the operating system properly.
