As always, celebration may be short lived, until this trick is patched out in another Win11 update, so posting the workaround so visibly and making it popular actually raises the attention of it getting patched, so yeah this is really not something to keep relying on, it can work, always "for now".

Even if Win 11 doesn't completely get patched of all the bypasses in the future, you'll have major softwares requiring it and actually failing to work without it, which we've seen with the first game's anti-cheat system to employ.

TPM 2.0 is like the COVID19 Passport of computers, quite a limitation on what was once a shining example of freedom.

Own nothing, rent everything. The PC platform is under serious attack, wonder why are GPUs so expensive and inaccessible to the vast majority these days, and will the prices really get down once the cryptocraze presumably ends?

Clean.

I'm really going to look forward to a comment if you did the x99 system - I still have two dual stations (x79 & x99) which I'd like to see how they perform with win11 but didn't have the time yet (or the next two to three weeks) to try it :( ...

Gone and did it.

As this PC has SecureBoot, UEFI, and TPM 2.0, I chose to install the OS using the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. I still have not seen a nag prompt about my i7-5960X which is unexpected. The Windows 10 chipset drivers is a must to avoid seeing this:

Installing option features actually works unlike on the X58 machine. What worries me is there was only two updates queued.

Really? Is that all others with fully compatible PCs got?

Anyway, poor design decisions are apparent in this OS but it has been stable. All device drivers that worked in Windows 10 work in Windows 11. Even Asus AI Suite 3 works which is a goddamn miracle, but the Intel MEI driver must be installed first.

Got games to install...

And now I have used the reg edit to do a fresh install on my old X58 system, which will be dual booting with Windows 7, so far it is very snappy.

@scope54, you had a post which you deleted "Reason: Misunderstood directions". What was the issue? Maybe I can improve the wording in our article

Dude, i missed this thread - nice guide!

Is there a way to edit this into an ISO or installer USB?

I'm sure there is. Haven't looked into it though as I'm still using the method of creating a Win10 install USB and replacing the install.esd with the one from the Windows 11 ISO. Installs using that method are seamless.

I just found out a collection of complicated methods to do so, and i'm working up a guide on how to do it.
The W11 ESD/WIM onto the W10 USB/ISO seems ideal, but finding a free ISO editing program is the fun part.


Edit: here you go

The file can be install.wim or install.esd, certain tools compress the wim to esd

Use a windows 10 installer, with windows 11 files

1.Download a Windows 10 and Windows 11 ISO
2.Download Anyburn (It's old and ugly, but its free)

3.Open your Win 10 ISO file in Anyburn,
Browse to the sources folder, and delete the existing install.wim (or install.esd)

4 .Mount the Windows 11 ISO in windows explorer

5. Go back to Anyburn, click the Add button and browse to the new install.wim file from your Windows 11 ISO and add it to where you deleted the old file

6.Click create, save it as a new name, like Win11noTPM.iso

That's it, done.





Modify an existing bootable Win10 USB:

1. Use any method to create a W10 bootable USB, Rufus or the Microsoft media creation tool are recommended.

2. Browse to sources on the USB drive and delete the Windows 10 install.wim file

3. Copy Install.wim from your Win11 ISO to the same location

Tada, your W10 USB now installs W11 instead

(Windows has long supported the ability to "mount" an ISO and have it appear as a read only DVD drive, so you do not need third party software to open the Win 11 ISO file)



Multi-Boot with wVentoy:
(Theres an option to make this work with secure boot, but you have to wipe the disk to toggle it)
Ventoy can be installed to a USB, that makes a hidden bootable partition at the end of the drive.
To windows, this looks like a regular simple single partition, but disk manager shows the second hidden boot partition at the end (~500MB)

When booted from, Ventoy loads up a very simple screen that lets you choose an ISO file from the drive - Any ISO. 11, 10, 7, Linux, anything.
This is great for a recovery drive, as you can keep 7/8.1/10/11 and live boot linux all in here, and clean install an OS to any system - and it's super easy to update or replace the ISO's.
The only limit here is how big the drive you chose is, and you can add/remove/edit the ISO files without touching ventoy again

The upgrade fix did not work for me. When I followed it, the process checks for updates and restores 'appraiserres.dll'. Furthermore, the "Back" button is disabled, so even if I try to delete appraiserres.dll from the temp folder, I have to cancel the installation.

I even tried modifying the iso and delete appraiserres.dll altogether. Same outcome

Suggestions?

Hi,
Same happened to me
Disconnect from the internet solved the dead back button issue.

When you are going through the upgrade process set it to not look for updates.

Thanks! Confirmed, I suspect they added a downloadable update, to prevent us deleting appraiserres.dll. Just disconnect before attempting the upgrade, updating the original post

If requirement can be downgraded like that, is it really a requirement anymore?

Makes you wonder what was the point of it to begin with.

if it is working, i think this will be the best methode :). I will simply change the .wim file on my installation pendrive.

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?

They're not allowing it, just turning a blind eye. If a vulnerability or something happens down the line, MS can just go ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ "Unsupported config, not our problem but well patch it whenever we get around to doing so."

I thought it would be on how to set up your bios and stuff not to let windows 11 upgrade. ;)

well until it's maybe at final beta at least :)

Yes, fresh install. If it will not upgrade, you will need to fresh install using a bypass method.

Thanks! Confirmed, I suspect they added a downloadable update, to prevent us deleting appraiserres.dll. Just disconnect before attempting the upgrade, updating the original post
Or this..

Folks, general rule of thumb and common sense: You should not be connected to the internet unless you are using it. If you're not using it, disconnect. It's safer and prevents a lot of nonsense.

As others have mentioned (and I updated the original post): disconnect from internet or turn off the updater's update feature

Wait. Can we do this directly in Windows 10? I mean use this reg, and then start the Win11 setup directly from Win10, not from the boot USB flash.
I want just to upgrade to Win11, not a clean install.
Thank you.

I used the Windows 10 USB installer with Windows 11 install.wim method to get it installed on my old BIOS based Phenom II machine following this guide. Windows Updates works on both installations just fine so far as well.
Interesting, I wonder how long with till last as M$ said they would block updated on machines that dont have Bootloader Signature Enforcement (otherwise known as 'secure boot'....) and TPM enabled....

100%, any OS/App needs the internet to 'install' is a hard no or it gets blocked via WFC (https://www.binisoft.org/wfc.php)

Because many of us HATE and LOATH the UI for Windows 10. 11 is a great improvement and hearkens back to the days of Windows 7. 11 is a return to good form for the UI of Windows and we will NOT let irritatingly artificial limitations and nonsense requirements stand in our way of a better computing experience. We will also not be forced to upgrade/replace perfectly capable PC's just because microsoft says so.

If you don't understand after that explanation, you likely never will, it's all good, continue to enjoy Windows 10. Not everyone sees things the same way..
