Jason's Notes

Windows 11 has many system requirements that are ‘soft’ and not actually needed to function. During install you can disable of these checks. (RAM, TPM, Secure Boot, possibly more)

1. Start Windows 11 install with boot media
2. shift+10 to launch command prompt
3. Launch regedit
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup and make new key labeled “LabConfig”
5. In LabConfig, add DWORD “BypassTPMCheck” with value 1 to disable TPM check
6. In LabConfig, add DWORD “BypassRAMCheck” with value 1 to disable RAM Check (4GB Min)
7. In LabConfig, add DWORD “BypassSecureBootCheck’ with value 1 to disable Secure Boot checking
8. In LabConfig, add DWORD “BypassStorageCheck” with value 1 to disable disk check (64GB min)
9. Close regedit and command prompt and continue install like normal. 

Windows 10 to Windows 11 in place upgrade, still use USB Install to start the upgrade.

1. Start Windows 11 install with boot media
2. shift+10 to launch command prompt
3. Launch regedit
4. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup and make new key labeled “MoSetup”
5. In MoSetup, add DWORD “AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU” with value 1
6. Close regedit and command prompt and continue upgrade 

Alternatively, rufus has Windows 11 ISO download and bypass check built in.
