HP Pavilion DV6-6165FS and Windows 11

[mapomme1108]

Hello,

I would like to know if the HP Pavilion DV6-6165FS has secure boot and Trusted Platform Module.

I am asking this to know if I can install Windows 11 on this computer.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi:

Your notebook does not have a TPM security device, nor does it support secure boot.

If you want to upgrade from W10 to W11 on your notebook, you will have to use one of the several W11 hardware check bypass methods to upgrade.

I found this method to be the easiest way to do that...

Before trying to upgrade to W11, I would make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I would like to know if modifying the registry during Windows 11 installation is permitted by Microsoft.

You're very welcome.

Yes, you can modify the registry if you want to use one of the different W11 hardware bypass methods.

Microsoft even tells you how in the gray shaded area at the link below.

The method I posted above does not need any registry modifications and it allows you to do an in-place upgrade from W10 to W11 without the need for a clean install.
