Windows 11 TPM Requirement? Bypass it in 5 Minutes

Read the link in my sig, my smart TV was sending faulty network packets causing local DPC latency spikes
This is one of the many reasons I don't trust or use "Smart TV's". Too many of them are just janky and crap filled garbage.

This was a flaw google had with their google mini smart speakers (this is integrated into the TV) but sony never updated and installed the fix despite many OS upgrades.
It only seems to trigger if the TV has a LAN cable, which is why i'm sure many people never noticed... they ran it on wifi, if online at all.

It's off topic, so we should probs end that line of discussion now... i'll edit DPC into the link in my sig since it's relevant and may get more attention

What you saw was an ARP flood. It's mandatory to do proper segmentation even in home networks.
Many people still believe that plugging expensive stuff in an overpriced 'gaming' ASUS or Netgear (or whatever) makes it all right in the world.

Edit: for the curious - put all 'smart' gadgets in their own isolated network. There is no reason for your vacuum robot to have access to your NAS.
 
It's pretty common with intel drivers. Can you try with a different interface, e.g. Realtek ETH or similar?

Edit: just search for 'ndis.sys and tcpip.sys high dpc' and behold - it's a real shutstorm. Here is a brief example: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...s/bd733108-8589-41d3-b780-6d394b0f0a33?page=4

To summarize, it's lazy coding on M$' side, but @lexluthermiester is right; that's a bit of a threadjacking.
It's a laptop, I've tried all interfaces (Realtek, btw) with up to date drivers and still nothing.
Like you said, let's not try to fix it here, it's off topic. And I've long given up on it. I bought a Chromecast, it handles streaming better than Win10 on Skylake.
 
Hello I am doing a bit of an experiment and am having trouble getting 11 to install even with the registry modified to bypass checks.

Intel Celeron 420
512+256mb ddr2 (tried up to 4gb no difference)
Asus P5q-e
Tried various GPUs including a gt740
40gb ide HDD

Every time I try to install it tells me my PC can't run Windows 11.

Any clue what's causing it?

It probably fails to meet the minimum CPU requirement: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications?r=1
 
Iirc it should meet it though, being Conroe
 
If I remember correctly.

I'm more than well of what Microsoft says they are, but what Microsoft states as the minimum requirements and what it will actually run on are 2 different things.

I've run it on an AM2 Athlon 64 3800+ single core before, for example.

Conroe "should" be able to run it as it has the applicable instructions.

I know that this is below the requirements, but I'm asking how to make it work.
 
And many games launch on systems not meeting their respective system requirements as well (but not on some other ones either!).

That's how those work. You're not guaranteed anything below specs. It doesn't have to be consistent across various systems below specs either. They don't state it will never launch on any system below spec in existence, but that it's not supported either way and you're on your own.
 
Intel Celeron 420
This is your first limiting factor, that is a single core CPU. Windows 11 needs at least two physical cores.
512+256mb ddr2 (tried up to 4gb no difference)
This is likely your second main limiting factor as Windows 11 won't even boot without 2GB(trust me, I've tried lower than 2GB), but...
40gb ide HDD
...this is the third limiting factor. Windows 11 requires at least a 64GB partition to install to.

Maybe it is 2 physical cores are needed to install it, but it definitely runs on a single core after installed.

ATM I'm installing it on a pentium d 925, 768mb ram, and 40gb ide drive with those things bypassed. Just changing the CPU made it work.

It is now installed and is in the initial setup phase. It doesn't actually need 64gb, it only uses around 20, it just wants 64.

Jeesus, bro! Now that is what I call a fetish!
 
So it installed but initial setup is not really working properly. I'm going to keep trying though.

Sounds about right. I'm guessing more the ram thing though. The ram is mixed too which doesn't help stability either
 
Not really. The bios will detect and sync down to the slowest DIMM detected. It's just the amount. If you can get above 1.25GB you might just be able to make it squeek by..
I'm not sure the lowest strap is actually low enough. The 256mb stick is 400mhz cl3... Super duper early stuff

Ill have to check. Could just throw some voltage at it

I've been told sometimes old hardware can cause it to install improperly and it might be corrupted, which would explain this. I'm going to throw it into a newer PC if possible and install, then do the setup on the older PC.

Since I'm using an ide drive, ill try my MSI am3 board with FX support that also has an ide port, I think that barely might be new enough.

Use RUFUS, needs just one setting changed as it makes a bootable USB - much easier

After reading the following posts... pretty sure you need more RAM for the initial install, but can survive with less later

I did but it only disabled checks for tpm and secure boot, nothing else
 
If there is a will there is a way...

Turns out the 40gb ide drive is indeed too small as I could not get it working with that no matter what I tried. I plan on trying with less ram and a larger ide drive at some point. I don't want to kill this SSD with swap by reducing what ram is in here.

Apparently it will boot with far less but just he completely unusable.
