We explain how you can install Windows 11 on a PC without a
TPM 2.0 chip. Even if Microsoft doesn't like that.

Windows 11?
Windows 11 can only be installed on PCs with a TPM 2.0 chip.
Actually. You can also bypass this lock with a trick. We explain how it works
in this article. This trick applies if you want to reinstall Windows 11 on a
non-compatible computer. In this post we explain how to upgrade Windows 10 to
Windows 11 on a non-compatible PC.
Windows 11
in the mega test: Unnecessary Windows 10 successor
The new Windows 11 is now officially available in several
ways, which we will introduce in this article: Windows 11 is now available for
download here for all users. Microsoft has increased the hardware requirements
for Windows 11 compared to Windows 10. Not all Windows 10 devices will receive
the update; they must meet the new criteria. These criteria include a CPU with
support for a TPM 2.0 module. That rules out a lot of older hardware, as TPM
2.0 wasn't released until October 2014.

If a user tries to install Windows 11 on an unsupported
computer, the error message "Windows 11 cannot be run on this
computer" appears.

How to install
Windows 11 on a PC without a TPM 2.0 chip anyway:
Step 1: Get your
Windows 11 through the official Microsoft ways that we introduce in this post.
And install Windows 11.
Step 2: As soon as
the message "Windows 11 cannot be run on this computer" appears,
press Shift + F10 on the keyboard to open the command line.
Step 3: Now open the
registry editor by typing regedit (and then press Enter).
Step 4: Change to the
path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \
SYSTEM \ Setup Click with the right mouse button on it and create a new key
called "LabConfig"
EnlargeInstall Windows 11 without the TPM 2.0
chip
Step 5: Now create
the DWORD (32-bit) entries in "LabConfig"
Give each of these
three entries the value "1". This is how it should look like for you:

chip
Step 6: Close the
registry editor and then click the back button in the "Windows 11 cannot
run on this computer" message in the upper left corner. Then try the
installation again and it should work now ...
Important note: There are some risks associated with
installing Windows 11 on an officially unsupported PC. For example, stability
and performance problems can arise. In addition, Microsoft will probably not
deliver any security updates to such computers, which is why permanent use of
the computer is not recommended! The method is particularly suitable for taking
a look at Windows 11 on a second computer.
