This pc doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11

[Scott2019]

Hi , I have an old HP laptop that has been using Windows 10. Recently, I want to upgrade to Windows 11, but it says "This computer does not currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11". I don't know what went wrong. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Is there any solution? Thank you!

This means the current hardware profile does not meet the Windows 11 system requirements. Most common case could be unsupported CPU or the computer lacks TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot. Though this device is not qualified to run Windows 11 officially, there are a couple of hacks you apply to bypass Windows system requirements and install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware/PC.

Here is a working trick that helped me install Windows 11 on two unsupported HP laptops:

If you encounter the error "This PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11," it generally means your computer doesn’t meet one or more of Microsoft’s hardware requirements for Windows 11. However, there are ways to troubleshoot and potentially bypass some requirements. Here’s a guide to help you identify the issue and possible solutions.

You can bypass Windows 11 system requirements, such as TPM and Secure Boot and install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, but keep in mind this might impact system stability or future updates.

Step 1: Press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
Step 2: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup.
Step 3: Right-click on the right pane, choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU.
Step 4: Double-click the new entry, set its value to 1, and click OK.
Step 5: Restart your computer and retry the Windows 11 setup.

This computer does not currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11. Upgrading to Windows 11 requires certain minimum system requirements that some older computers may not meet. Here’s a summary of the requirements for Windows 11:

• Processor: 1 GHz or faster with at least 2 cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
• RAM: 4 GB or more.
• Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device.
• UEFI Firmware: Secure Boot capable.
• TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 (this is a common issue for older machines).
• Graphics Card: DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x.
• Display: >9” with HD Resolution (720p).
• Internet Connection: Internet connectivity is necessary for updates and to download and take advantage of some features.

bypassing Windows 11 system requirements can sometimes feel like getting a cheat code to access cool new features, if your PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements, you're basically trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. This can lead to system instability. You might run into crashes, freezes, or even data loss.

If you run into problems after a DIY installation on unsupported hardware, you won’t have the backing of Microsoft support. They’re less likely to help you out if you're running a version of Windows they don’t officially endorse.
