Windows 11 TPM Requirement? Bypass it in 5 Minutes

Hi,
I did not see a tpm chip port on my z490 apex but it does have tpp or what ever it is in bios that can be enabled.
But yeah always on that bothers me a little seeing I will never use bitlocker or similar
Exactly... All that new tech is just what to my mind :slap:

Hi,
Almost done with verifying 11's system image
Bad thing it's on my m.2 hell I don't use 10 that much at all anyway so guess I'll leave 11 on it for giggles until ms kills it for the other three 11 violations :D

I have Beta and Dev on separate drives so. Including WIN10LTSC on the slow but after things loaded useful laptop based IDE HDD since 10 uses thank God the same loader as 11

WIN10LTSC on IDE Laptop HDD
WIN10 on 120GB mSata
WINBETA on 240GB mSata
WiNDeV on 256GB mSata

As stated before I do this for FuN kinda "Testing"

Hi,
I was at first just going to install 11 on my z490 build on sata ssd but I'm busy on it atm and for the next couple weeks so it will have to wait.

Everyone here has money ha. Sadly not so here. Our internet is only 1.2MB DL

I can't work nor drive but at least I'm here. I buy used parts on eBay so

Hey at least your haven' fun. Thats what makes a hobby worthwhile.
 
The clean install method where it asks to copy the regedit lines onto notepad did not work for me AT ALL. i followed step by step carefully and went over it 3 times, after which i gave up, i dont know maybe im dumb, from what i gather, copy and paste, save as bypass.reg, move to usb drive and boot fr usb drive, go up until it says its not supported go back, hit shift+f10 and open regedit, import bypass.reg and thats it. Exactly what i did but it said the code was incorrect. So i gave up

Odd you did download my file right? Should be easy from there as you subscribed
 
and installation on a GPT partitioned drive
It should be noted that with the use of the bypasses in the article above, Windows 11 can be installed to a non-UEFI system and to a drive formatted MBR. I am currently personally running 3 systems in this configuration.

I wonder if this is a way to let MS backpedal with TPM.
Very likely! This gives them a way to allow users that do not meet their artificial limitations to bypass them completely, which allows them to save face.

Hi,
Still requires tpm 1.2 and ability to enable it
Or and operable tpm 1.2 chip or I suppose tpm 2.0 chip so scalpers rejoice.

I think you missed the point of the article..

If Microsoft allows this and even themselves gives you a bypass option when upgrading from Windows 10, why dont they just nix the requirement all together?
Excellent question..

if you upgrade to w11 with non supported pc you ll get errors or incompatibility.
This is both flawed and incorrect. We do NOT need to spread disinformation.

Misleading title is misleading.
Not at all. The title of the article is perfectly stated!

It's the lack of Windows 11 CPU driver support for anything older than an 8th gen Intel. Got secureboot, tpm 2.0, and a UEFI BIOS, but my Haswell CPU is deemed by MS to be incompatible. It is especially irritating when W11 works perfectly fine on a 12.5 year old PC with a 10 year old CPU.
That is total FUD on the part of microsoft. Windows 11 has been tested on CPU's as old as Core 2 Duo with no ill effect. Whatever you have, install using the bypass, enjoy!

This article was perfectly timed for me, I was planning on looking up the current popular methods of installing or upgrading on older hardware today when you posted this, and I just used the updated appraiserres.dll method with the ISO to install Windows 11 on a Haswell laptop with an i5-4200U, I don't know if it will update yet, but it installed without issue.

I have understood how about the appraiserres.dll I mean I copied that from the WIN10 to a WiN11 but it didn't work for me so the reg file was next so

I meant I used the upgrade method and deleted the file after starting setup from the mounted ISO to upgrade the system.

I've known since after installing the "leaked" Windows 11 iso that the OS will run on anything Windows 10 runs on. I will not install the final release given the current circumstances, else it becomes another Windows 11 demo. The trial period is over. No more bypasses. I don't want anything nobbled in the area of security updates, bug fixes, and additional feature updates.

Why not? It works perfectly. I've now done 13 installs. No issues whatsoever.

That's not happening. Several of the systems I've installed have already downloaded and installed a few updates. Those threats of blocked updates are total FUD as well it seems. Install on the system of your choice, update if you like, enjoy!

It is now it's been updated.
I didn't see what it was before.

I had Windows 11 installed via Windows Update for a couple of weeks. At first, I wasn't having any issues. Then I was having issues with AMD software, specifically Ryzen Master stating that the driver wasn't installed properly.

I attempted a removal and reinstall, it didn't fix it. When I went to remove the AMD drivers with the AMD uninstall tool, and then reinstall them, my system could no longer boot into windows after the restart from uninstalling the AMD drivers. I continued to get a hard drive inaccessible error. I had to perform a clean install of Windows 10 to get my system back up and running.

I will be holding off on Windows 11 for the time being.

Fresh install. If you're having those kinds of issues, it's time for a fresh install sometime soon anyway.

Those are the correct steps, could you take a photo of the error message with your phone?

Sure you did. It's what's there now minus the update.

Are you sure you saved it as bypass.reg and not bypass.reg.txt? You need to change to all files when saving or it will be a txt file.

I dont see any download file instructions, i was under the impression i only needed to copy and paste the code lines and thet was it.

I found a separate method by using a script through powershell. But it does require me to download a windowsmediacreationtool.bat that automatically modifies some system files/settings but i will use this method again as i would like to have a clean install without having to download 3rd party tools, as you can never be too safe, or at least modify those files myself (as shown here). I will take the picture once i get the error measage again.

One question before i try it again though, should i copy and paste exactly as it is shown (which i did) just copy and paste or should i get rid of the quotes around the title of each first new line of code, e.g.,

BypassTPMCheck=dword:00000001
Instead of
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
 
No, you should just paste the text, I've added this screenshot to the article with a little bit of extra text, in case that helps other visitors

Yep saved as bypass

Ok i think i know what happened but will give it a try again, i deleted the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.0" section, i thought it wasnt't needed. Do you think that was the issue?
Also i tried clean installing on a windows 10 drive, should i format the drive first and have deleted the partitions first?

I will try formatting the entire drive and deleting all partitions first.

That is definitely the issue

Honestly, I always find a way to mess things up, definetly will try again but on my slow internet connection really dont wanna go through the whole 4 hours through microsoft's official install tool, how safe is it do you think using AveYo's Universal MediaCreationTool on github as described on tomshardware for a clean install.


Creation tool on github:



It really got me thinking because using microsoft official tool, the boot drive was about 30 gb, and using the unofficial modified tool the flash drive is 4 gb. So looking up file size for usb boot drive for windows 11, its at least 5 gb, so my 30 gb boot drive really got me thinking.
 
No experience with that tool.

No idea why you're getting 30 GB with Microsoft's MCT, the Windows 11 ISO file is 5.3 GB.

You should just be able to recreate the bypass.reg file on your USB stick, and you're good to go, no need to download everything again.
