Windows 11

[Marvin94]

Hey there, I just bought the following HP notebook without an operation system installed. I then checked the compatibility with Windows 11 Home and it fully supports the specs and processor from this notebook so I bought my version, have now booted it onto a USB drive and now when trying to install it gives me the error "Windows 11 can't be installed on this computer since it doesn't meet the system requirements..". Can anyone help me out with solving this?

Hi:

Your PC should fully meet the W11 system requirements.

I have two suggestions for you:

1. Make sure that the TPM 2.0 security device is enabled in the BIOS.

2. Make sure that the secure boot setting is enabled in the BIOS.

If that still doesn't work, see how to bypass that error and install W11 anyway.

First, download and unzip the free Rufus utility that I zipped up and attached at the very bottom of this reply (by the paper clip icon).

You will use this file to transfer the W11 ISO file to a USB so that it is bootable and there is a setting you select in the utility to bypass the W11 hardware checks.

The next thing to do is to download the W11 ISO file from the link below (3rd option). 

I assume you need the W11 German version. 

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

Plug in an 8 GB or larger USB flash drive in your PC's USB 3 port (if you have a USB 3 flash drive).

After the ISO file has downloaded, run the Rufus utility.

On the right side of the program window click on the Select button and select the W11 ISO file you downloaded.

Then right under the boot selection line where you see the ISO file listed, select the Extended Windows 11 installation (no TPM/no secure boot)

Partition scheme GPT (since your notebook is running W10 in UEFI mode).

Target system is the default (UEFI non CSM).

Click on the Start button on the lower right side of the screen and it will take a while for Rufus to build the bootable USB flash drive.

When it reports 'Ready,' close out of the Rufus utility.

On the right side of the program window click on the Select button and select the W11 ISO file you downloaded.

Then right under the boot selection line where you see the ISO file listed, select the Extended Windows 11 installation (no TPM/no secure boot)

Partition scheme GPT (since your notebook is running W10 in UEFI mode).

Target system is the default (UEFI non CSM).

Click on the Start button on the lower right side of the screen and it will take a while for Rufus to build the bootable USB flash drive.

When it reports 'Ready,' close out of the Rufus utility.

Now when you boot from the USB flash drive you created, you should be able to install W11.
