Hello everyone, I recently wanted to install Windows 11 on an old computer at home, but halfway through the installation, it prompted "This computer does not meet the installation requirements", saying that TPM 2.0 and CPU are not supported. I checked and found that the processor is i7-7700HQ, and the memory and hard disk are fine, but it is stuck here.
I searched the Internet, and some people said that you can bypass windows 11 requirements when writing to a USB flash drive with Rufus, some said to change the registry, and some mentioned tools like WinBootMate... To be honest, I am a little confused, and I don’t know which method is the most reliable and the most convenient.
Has anyone successfully tested it? Can you share your experience? For example:
How to skip TPM and Secure Boot detection?
Can you update normally after installing the system?
Which tools are the most stable and simplest?
I don’t want to mess around too much, I hope I can get it done in one step😂, thank you all in advance!

You can add a few registry entries to help you bypass Windows 11 system requirements and install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware without any issue. You need to set the HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig registry values, you can bypass some of the hardware checks:
BypassRAMCheck = 1. This works fine to enable SETUP.EXE to install Windows 11 on a machine with less than 4GB (well, really 3686MB) of RAM.
BypassTPMCheck = 1. This works fine to enable SETUP.EXE to install Windows 11 on a machine that doesn’t support TPM 2.0.
BypassSecureBootCheck = 1. This one is really somewhat misnamed as it doesn’t really do anything on UEFI systems. It does allow SETUP.EXE to install Windows 11 on BIOS-based machines that can’t possibly support SecureBoot (since that’s a UEFI feature).
This is a very simple and effective way to bypass Windows 11 system requirements!

In fact, I have also used Rufus, but it is impossible to use it directly on Mac. Even if I do it, after plugging in the USB and starting it, it still prompts "This PC does not meet Windows 11 system requirements", and there is no way to skip it. Is there any other ways can bypass windows 11 requirements?
