<p>Even though Microsoft advises to avoid installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, the company has just provided a working path to it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4263" src="https://www.wincert.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/windows-11-dark-theme.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="533" /></p>
<p>Customers that are still eager to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet hardware requirements, will have to acknowledge that they understand the risks of these actions.</p>
<p>As many users do not own the latest TPM 2.0 and CPU model required for Windows 11, these checks can be bypassed by creating the following registry key:</p>
<p><strong>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup</strong></p>
<p>Key type: <strong>Reg_DWORD</strong></p>
<p>Key name: <strong>AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU</strong></p>
<p>Key value: <strong>1</strong></p>
<p>With this key, it is basically possible to install and run Windows 11 on any device but Microsoft has also posted <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/installing-windows-11-on-devices-that-don-t-meet-minimum-system-requirements-0b2dc4a2-5933-4ad4-9c09-ef0a331518f1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another document</a> explaining that your system might malfunction due to compatibility issues and will not be guaranteed to receive updates including, but not limited to security updates.</p>
