4 Easy Ways to Install Windows 11 on Unsupported CPU

The transition to Windows 11 is significant due to new features, enhanced security, and improved performance. Users with unsupported CPUs may face challenges when upgrading, including installation warnings, potential performance issues, lack of Microsoft support, and possible bugs. Preparations for installation include backing up files, creating a system image, and disconnecting unnecessary devices. Four methods to install Windows 11 on unsupported CPUs are: 1. 4DDiG Partition Manager: This tool bypasses checks for TPM 2.0, CPU, and Secure Boot. 2. Registry Editor: Modify settings to skip hardware checks by creating a DWORD value named “AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU” and setting it to “1”. 3. Rufus: Create a modified Windows 11 USB installer that bypasses checks for TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, and CPU. 4. Replace appraiserres.dll File: Swap the appraiserres.dll file in the installation media with a modified version to bypass hardware checks.

Microsoft said my PC couldn’t run Windows 11, but I upgraded in 5 minutes anyway

Microsoft officially ceased support for Windows 10 earlier this month, affecting users whose PCs do not meet the requirements for Windows 11, particularly the absence of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. This has left many systems ineligible for the upgrade. However, workarounds exist for users with otherwise capable PCs, including a guide by Senior Editor Ed Bott on upgrading an "incompatible" PC. One method involves using the third-party program Rufus and an empty USB thumb drive to install Windows 11 without the TPM requirement. The installation process includes downloading the Windows 11 ISO, preparing the USB drive with Rufus, and following specific steps to bypass the TPM and RAM requirements. Users are encouraged to consult available guides and troubleshooting resources if they encounter difficulties during installation.

Can you still bypass Windows 11 requirements as Windows 10 hits EOL? We tested it

Windows 11 requires a 1GHz dual-core CPU that supports TPM 2.0 and at least 4GB of RAM. Users with older PCs running Windows 10 can still install Windows 11 25H2 using known bypass methods, even if their hardware does not meet these specifications. The installation methods include using a command line for an in-place upgrade, utilizing Rufus to create a bootable USB, or editing the Registry during setup. The Windows 11 ISO file is approximately 7.20 GB in size and can be downloaded from Microsoft's official site. Users can revert to Windows 10 by navigating to Settings > System > Recovery and selecting "Go back."

Microsoft said my PC was ‘too old’ to run Windows 11 – how I upgraded in 5 minutes anyway

Microsoft has officially ceased support for Windows 10, prompting users to consider upgrading to Windows 11. Many PCs running Windows 10 face challenges due to Microsoft's eligibility requirements, particularly the need for a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. Users with systems that do not meet this requirement can still find workarounds to upgrade. A method using the third-party program Rufus allows users with PCs manufactured around 2020 and functioning well to bypass the TPM requirement. To upgrade, users need an empty USB thumb drive with at least 8GB of storage and can follow a specific set of steps involving downloading Rufus and the Windows 11 ISO, configuring Rufus, and initiating the installation.

The author built a desktop in 2020 with an Asus motherboard and Intel Core i9-9900 CPU, which are still performing well in 2025. The motherboard lacks a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0, making it ineligible for the Windows 11 upgrade. Microsoft has been urging users to purchase new PCs as Windows 10 support ended on October 14. However, there are workarounds to upgrade incompatible PCs to Windows 11, including a method using the third-party program Rufus. The process involves ten steps: downloading Rufus, obtaining the Windows 11 ISO, preparing a USB drive, and initiating the installation while bypassing the TPM requirement.
