Posted on Edited on Disqus:

Are you looking to install Windows 11 on an older PC that doesn’t meet the official hardware requirements? Don’t worry; there’s a way to bypass the TPM, RAM, and Secure Boot checks during the installation process. Follow the steps below to get Windows 11 up and running on your system.

Step-by-Step Guide to Bypass Hardware Requirements

1. Boot Off Your Windows 11 Install Disk

If you don’t already have a Windows 11 installation disk, you can create one by following our guide on how to download Windows 11. Once you have the install disk ready, boot from it. You should see a screen that asks you to choose the language of your install.

2. Launch Command Prompt

Once you’re at the language selection screen, press SHIFT + F10 to open the Command Prompt.

3. Launch Registry Editor

Type regedit into the Command Prompt and hit Enter to launch the Registry Editor.

4. Navigate to Setup Key

In the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.

5. Create a New Registry Key Named LabConfig

Right-click in the right window pane, select New -> Key, and name the new key LabConfig.

6. Create DWORDs to Bypass TPM, Secure Boot and RAM Checks

Within the LabConfig key, create the following DWORD 32 values and set each to 1:

  • BypassTPMCheck
  • BypassSecureBootCheck
  • BypassRAMCheck (if you also want to bypass the RAM requirement)

To create a new DWORD value, right-click in the right window pane, select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value, name the key, then double-click the entry to set it to 1.

For a more straightforward solution, you can use the following reg.exe commands to automate this process via the Command Prompt:

reg.exe add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg.exe add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassSecureBootCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg.exe add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassRAMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Simply copy and paste these commands into the Command Prompt and hit Enter.

7. Close Registry Editor and Command Prompt

Close the Registry Editor and the Command Prompt. You should then be able to proceed with the Windows 11 installation process without encountering any of the hardware requirement checks.

By following these steps, you can bypass the TPM, RAM, and Secure Boot checks and install Windows 11 on your older PC effortlessly.

Happy installing!
