Windows 11 is Microsoft‘s latest operating system, but not everyone can install it on their PCs. The new operating system requires a specific hardware configuration, including a compatible CPU and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip. These requirements are intended to improve the security and performance of Windows 11, but they also exclude many older or cheaper devices from the update.
However, there is a simple trick that can bypass the CPU/TPM block and allow you to install Windows 11 on any PC. This trick involves modifying the registry settings of your current Windows 10 installation, before running the Windows 11 setup. Here are the steps to follow:
Open the Start menu and type “regedit” (without quotes) in the search box. Press Enter to start the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SYSTEM_SETUP
3. Right-click on the Configuration key and select New > Key. Name it LabConfig.
4. Right-click on the LabConfig key and select New > DWORD Value (32-bit). Name it BypassTPMCheck and set its value to 1.
5. Repeat step 4 for two more DWORD values: BypassSecureBootCheck and BypassRAMCheck. Set their values to 1 as well.
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart your PC.
7. Run the Windows 11 setup from a USB drive or ISO file. You should be able to continue with the installation without CPU/TPM errors.
Note: This trick is not officially supported by Microsoft and may cause compatibility or stability issues with Windows 11. Use it at your own risk and make sure you have a backup of your data before attempting it.

Windows 11 has some strict hardware requirements that may prevent some users from upgrading their devices. One of these requirements is to have a 64-bit CPU that is compatible with Windows 11, as well as a TPM 2.0 chip that provides security features. Microsoft has posted a list of supported processors from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm on its website.
However, some users may not want to buy new hardware or settle for Windows 10. They may be looking for ways to bypass CPU and TPM verification and install Windows 11 anyway. Several methods have been reported online, such as modifying the registry or using a script.
But there is another method that is even simpler and does not require any changes to the system. It involves running the Windows 11 setup with a special command line parameter that tricks the installer into thinking it is installing Windows Server instead of Windows 11. The command is:
configuration/product server
This method was discovered by a user who claims that it is an “innovative discovery” to overcome the “artificial requirements” of Windows 11. He also confirms that this method works on the latest Canary Insider versions of Windows 11. The setup will show that it is installing Windows Server, but it will actually install the normal version of Windows 11, either Home or Pro, depending on the license.
Note: This method is not officially supported by Microsoft and may cause problems or instability in the future. Use at your own risk and be sure to back up your data before attempting this method.
