How To Bypass TPM 2.0 Requirement For Windows 11, Microsoft shows

While Windows 11 still requires that your PC support TPM 2.0, there is a workaround for computers that lack the necessary hardware, and Microsoft has provided it. 

You only need to follow a few simple steps to update your system now that Windows 11 is available. You'll be in the future in no time.

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a technology that safeguards the data on your computer. An upgraded TPM means better security for Windows 11 users.

According to Microsoft Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper-resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM. Some of the key advantages of using TPM technology are that you can:

TPM 2.0 is supported by many PCs, but not all of them. There is now a formally sanctioned solution. According to PC Gamer, Microsoft has published a tutorial on its support page outlining how to install Windows 11 on a machine lacking TPM 2.0.

Microsoft specifies in the tutorial that installation on any PC that does not meet the requirements is not recommended. 

It also encourages customers to contact support before attempting any other installation method than the standard one. Your PC must still support at least TPM 1.2. Keeping that in mind, here's the method is described.

To begin, ensure that the BIOS for your TPM is turned on.

The exact instructions for that will depend on your hardware. 

To install Windows 11 without TPM 2.0, you'll have to change the registry key values to skip the check for TPM 2.0.

Now, you should be able to upgrade to Windows 11 without having TPM 2.0.
