I'd support them telling manufacturers that any new Windows 11 PCs need to have a TPM. Personally, I haven't bought/built one without a TPM for years. It's trying to force existing hardware into the scrapheap where it crosses the line for me. It's good to have a TPM, but it doesn't actually need one, and it feels like this is less in the consumer's best interests than those who benefit from people buying new PCs (with new Windows licenses).
FYI Rufus is adding the "LabConfig" registry entry from the "Upgrading without a TPM" section beginning at 11:22. Can be handy to know what it's doing under the hood, and the same caveats apply of course.
I can't find the image with the install options. I've tried downloading all of the different versions for north america and none are giving me any options for bypassing the tpm or anything
@@sergeykukharenko4198 You would rather format everything and do it that way with a USB stick by wiping your drive entirely bypassing updates is not recommended because there's consequences for it later on Microsoft shouldn't of limited the upgrade they should of made a Windows 11 Lite or something for those with weaker computers can use it with the same features.
Thank you very much for your insights on Windows 11. My laptop is in any case way too old to be doing this upgrade. Even if I could have overridden my system"s settings, I would not want to play russian roulette with the security aspect of the system. In May 2020, I upgraded to an SSD and performed a factory reset installation and have original Windows 8 copy running on the system with all updates deactivated and a reputable complete Antivirus to keep the system safe. I kept the other HDD with the Windows 10 version 1909 copy in storage for over two years and decided to swop this back yesterday. Immediately updates commenced and automatically bypassed older versions of Windows 10 (the ones after 1909) and downloaded the most current version of 21H2. I am happy with the system as it is now. Bear in mind, I have an i3 processor, 8GB of RAM and 2.5GHz processor speed and this is dated at nine years now. So, honestly, I do not think I should take a chance with Windows 11 and place my laptop at a high security risk.
You play russian roulette online? If you do you are stupid enough to give away your money to them, do you know that they using AI, on their roulette, which will know what you are doing, wanna to gamble go to live casino, on a table game, no AI, if you do that you are smart enough
It said my CPU wasn't supported but it have tpm 2.0 enabled so I followed the instructions on this video to install it anyways and is working perfectly fine Thanks!
I still keep getting the "PC must support Secure Boot" message even after adding the DWORDs "AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU" and "BypassSecureBootCheck" to the MoSetup key while trying to use the ISO file and mounting it to the DVD drive. Is there any way to bypass this as well?
***UPDATE*** I found a workaround by rebooting my PC while holding the shift key and going into the comand prompt and putting in the command "mbr2gpt.exe /covert", switching my Boot to UEFI, turning on Secure Boot, and now it is installing
Important to note that the disk encryption with TPM is only appropriate if you have a strong password protecting your account. If you're a home user without a password on your account, it's game over.
Very true. They do try and bully home users into using an online MS account to sign in these days, but if you've bypassed that and not set a password... 😬
@@Sportek24 That's fine. It's possible to use a local (not Microsoft) account with Windows, and this may not have a good password or even any password at all. James' warning is that if you were to do this (no password) then encrypting your drive is irrelevant if someone can just power on the computer and access your data unchallenged.
I think if anyone have only a laptop which is old or new that doesn't matter using this method why we have to take risk with security or laptop. But Video is Good for education purpose👍👍👍
MOST Computers dont have open source and do NOT have Registry Editor. you cant just open it like that. you must buy software to do that now. he left out that little detail, just FYI
What are you talking about? Every Windows PC has Registry Editor. It's been part of Windows for over 30 years. You don't need to buy anything special at all.
Because technology enthusiasts are enthusiastic about trying new technology? That's not to say newer is always better, but if anyone's going to upgrade just for the sake of it, it will be the enthusiasts. The average computer-user is unlikely to care. For example: I don't like many of the UI changes (or the slow but steady transition into an advertising platform) and I don't run it on my main PC, but I do run it on my laptop because like it or not if we don't stay up-to-date with current tech then our skills become obsolete quite quickly.
The only thing that's not supported is my cpu which is a Intel core i7-7700 3.60ghz. I ran into a problem where my pc starts being really slow which is weird. sometimes when I open up wallpaper engine on steam, my pc starts beeping as it loads the wallpaper.
So, my TPM shows it. is a 2.0 but says it's not supported? while trying to upgrade to windows 11(running windows ten) so will try to enable it following your instructions,
@@ProTechShow I mean it works yes but should you even do it probably not Windows 10 is set to expire in 2025 and you currently have 2 more years left to enjoy it and either way Microsoft ensures this time we can continue to use it even after support ends.
@@futuristicentity2417 My computer, my choice. MS hasn't offered a good justification for locking perfectly compatible computers out of running Windows 11. Is it in the best interest of the consumer? I don't think so. As to running Windows 10 beyond end of support: my advice is don't. It isn't safe. Watch this video to understand why: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d67pdfGBysI.html
Yeah id agree on the future compatibility argument MS is making but honestly im not really worried with my i5 7600k If youre rocking some 4th tho, id play it safe with win10
Make sure you're following the instructions exactly. There are different registry entries depending on whether you have an old TPM or no TPM; and the latter must be done from the Windows setup, not Windows itself. You can't mix and match between methods, and every character needs to be accurately typed.
First of all, thank you for the video,my question is that; today i want to upgrade my pc with a 7th generation CPU,as of today, is there any receiving update issue? Can i get the updates(security updates etc.) safely. If yes, i will upgrade. Thank you again.
If you meet all of the other requirements then you will receive standard Windows updates automatically. You won't get the annual feature updates delivered through Windows Update, but you can download and install them manually.
thank you for the info, it seems i dont have a TPM and older processor, but the main issue, i have is the much older programs i run, such as lotus approach, word pro, and some old games with win 10 patches, other 32bit progs. the question is will these still run? peronally i think that MS has over stepped the mark with WIN 11 extra security for all not just business. so being retired now an sending mails, playing music, watching the odd video /movie it seems so over kill, the cost of new parts are just so expensive, with a intel processor, ram an motherboard theres 600+. it just read like MS has done a deal with the hardware makers to boost their proffits. thanks for the great help
@ProTechShow Would the risks posed by Meltdown and Spectre be higher in Windows 11 than in Windows 10 for a computer with TPM 2.0 and a processor not supported by Windows 11?
AFAIK Windows 11 has support for the same mitigations built-in. I tested with a Windows 11 laptop and an unsupported CPU that was vulnerable to Spectre/Meltdown, and the GRC "InSpectre" tool shows it as protected on Windows 11.
You'll need to follow the "Upgrading without a TPM" steps - there are registry workarounds for each of those blockers so you could use all of them. When Windows 11 24H2 comes out you'll almost certainly need to do a clean reinstall as it's unlikely to allow you to do an in-place upgrade. That should be coming out soon so it might be worth waiting for that to save yourself doing it twice.
thank you very much for this info. in my case only thing preventing my laptop upgrade to windows 11 is CPU, I have 6th gen core i7. is it a risk if I upgrade knowing everything else is supported including having supported TPM 2.0??
There are the supportability risks mentioned in the video. It doesn't really matter what the constraint was as it's more to do with Microsoft choosing to provide updates rather than the hardware itself. I updated mine with an older CPU, but if at any point it stops receiving updates I'll take Windows 11 off it again.
@@ProTechShow thanks for clarification, appreciate it. I will be updating to windows 11 after all. No harm in running win 11 as long as updates keep coming.
Had a similar problem back when Windows 2000 was being used. MS said 2000 won't run on certain pcs but simply by changing the order of a couple install steps I was able to install it on Compaq computers. It ran like a dog, however.
Thank you for making this video. Very easy to understand and informative! Plus great editing. I have Windows 10 on an old custom build (2015). It was a monster machine so it still works well for my needs. My PC is used at home only and I run Norton. I tried to do secure boot but I use a Samsung SSD for my OS and hard drives in RAID array for data. Was unable to enable Secure Boot. Will you post a follow up video as to whether Microsoft allows updates later for those that worked around.
Secure boot should be a setting in your BIOS, although you can bypass the requirement for secure boot if you do a fresh install (it was one of the registry entries in the "Upgrading without a TPM" section around 12:00).
Replying to the original question about whether Microsoft will allow updated later: from what I've seen the answer is that the Windows 11 feature updates are the same story as a Win10-11 upgrade. You won't get it offered via Windows Update. The same workarounds in this video will let you install the update manually. If you did an in-place upgrade with an old TPM and have the registry entry in place, all you need to do is download the ISO and run the update from within Windows. If you had to reinstall from scratch in order to upgrade (e.g. you have no TPM) then you'll probably need to install each feature update the same way (reinstalling by booting from USB and adding the registry entry in the installer).
There are two methods shown in the video. One is an in-place upgrade from within Windows (this works with an older CPU/TPM), the other is a clean install from USB (required if you don't have a TPM at all). The former keeps your data, the latter requires you to wipe the drive. In either case, always make a backup first. Nothing is ever guaranteed to go smoothly.
So I used the MoSetup steps to get rid of the CPU check but the ISO setup still disallows because of the Secure Boot and TPM, even though I've also done the steps with the LabConfig keys. Any idea of ways to fix it? Appreciate it in advance, great video overall.
Make sure you're using the correct registry settings in the correct place. MoSetup is for installations started from within your old Windows operating system. LabConfig is for when you boot from the USB drive. One won't work in the other's context.
Regular monthly updates are still available, but it won't automatically offer annual feature updates (22H2 and 23H2) if you installed Windows 11 using one of these unsupported methods. If you are still on the 21H2 release, it's end-of-life so you'll need to update to a later release to keep getting the regular updates. The method to update to a later release is the same as the original Windows 11 update. If you were able to add a registry value and update in-place from Windows 10 then you can do the same thing again and update to 23H2 using the latest ISO. If you had to reinstall from scratch then you'll need to do that again for each annual feature update.
I bought a new Lenovo Idea Centre that was top of the line a year and a half ago. I have been trying to upgrade it to 11 since 6 months after I bought it. It tells me that my processor is not good enough and won't let me upgrade. It was supposed to be upgradable. I can't believe that a brand new, high end Lenovo didn't meet the standards. So I have been debating whether to try a go around or just take the hit and buy a new computer. I have been having nothing but problems with it and have to do something. Any thoughts?
The list of supported processors is here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors If it was a new device 18 months ago it should have come with Windows 11 already on it. It sounds likely that even though the computer is new to you, it's an old model that's been sitting on a shelf for several years.
There are probably other compatibility issues affecting the laptop other than the CPU. TPM or secure boot settings, perhaps? Seeing as you have both and they're the same brand it might be worth comparing their BIOS settings to see if you can spot a difference.
The security should always be our choice, not Microsoft's. They are trying to get everyone to waste money on a new PC that they don't need. There is a reason why we use antivirus software also which is a far cheaper method.
Okay, found another video, all you have to do with Windows 11 and a Gigabyte Bios, is get into the Bios and change the settings. TPM is in the Settings, miscellaneous, "Advanced" and there's something called "AMD CPU TPM" and it'll say "disabled". Enable it and you have TPM installed. Restart your computer, the SRMN message will be gone...hopefully.
That's the fTPM feature you've found, covered in section 7:41 - You might have a hidden TPM. It's enabled by default on recent Gigabyte BIOS versions, so having seen your other message it sounds like your computer was probably shipped with an outdated BIOS. That, or someone manually disabled it; but my money's on you getting an older one.
@@ProTechShow Mine was disabled in the Bios and I never touched it. I have a relatively new computer, less than a year. Also, I was going to try to do the regedit stuff, but I didn't have the line you discussed, and when I loaded the "new key and the line about "Allow upgrades...etc" and it didn't work. I removed it because I hate messing with regedits. I'll never remember where they were if problems arise. I enabled the TPM in the Bios, the SRMN message disappeared, but now I'm wondering what the next domino will be. I just got a "Gateway timeout error" for the first time. Weird. Thanks again.
From what I've seen: - Standard updates will install just fine - Version upgrades (e.g. 22H1 to 22H2) will not be offered to you automatically - If you were able to do an in-place upgrade from Windows 10, you'll also be able to download the latest Windows 11 ISO and do an in-place version upgrade in Windows - If you were only able to upgrade from Windows 10 by wiping and booting from installation media, then that will be the only way to install version upgrades (a reinstall)
@Pro Tech Show ||| Question, could you please explain to me all of the risks. I didn't understand everything 100%. Also, another quick question, would it be easier for people to hack you because you will not be getting the newest security updates? Please respond as soon as you can! (the update was the ping)
There's a section in the video about the risk, starting at 6:12. Short version: as long as you're installing security updates you're not at any increased risk from hackers. Usually, the updates are released monthly. If the updates stop coming for some reason the future you would be at risk. Most likely this would mean you need to manually update to the latest feature update, but with unsupported hardware there are no guarantees this will be possible.
Aside from compatibility issues, Windows 7 doesn't receive security updates anymore, making it vulnerable to attack. Come back on Wednesday - the next video will demonstrate why security updates are important, and I'm using Windows 7 in the example.
Even after I do the registery editor it still comes up with "This pc does not have 2.0 TPM" and "This pc does not have secure boot" and doesn't let me install it. Any help?

You can't mix and match between methods, and every character needs to be accurately typed.
With an older TPM, yes. Without any TPM, you can do a clean install but you can't do an in-place upgrade - you'd have to copy the data off first and copy it back after.
From what I've seen the answer is that the Windows 11 feature updates are the same story as a Win10-11 upgrade. You won't get it offered via Windows Update.

You can use the steps in 9:11 (Upgrading with an older CPU/TPM) to do an in-place upgrade with an older processor. If you're doing a clean install there was a registry value BypassCPUCheck at one point but you shouldn't actually need it because it doesn't check the CPU during a clean install.
Hello Pro Tech - I think Microsoft may have changed something since you did this video. I've tried the registry edit from Microsoft but after "Checking your PC" it stops and tells me that it's not sure that my PC is able to run Win 11 and directs me to try again. My laptop is old, sure - 2014. But it's a Dell XPS with an i7 (unsupported) CPU. I think I'm back at ground zero 😞

It probably means you have an incompatible driver. Older hardware may not support the memory integrity feature. If an incompatible device/driver is detected it automatically switches memory integrity off.
@@ProTechShow Thanks to your video, I was able to upgrade from windows 10 to windows 11. Because when I was running windows 11 setup I was getting the error of "The processor is not currently supported for windows 11" but then I fixed it with regEdit. After that I was able to continue with the installation setup And it also solved the "Memory integrity" not turning On issue.. now i am able to "turn it On" without the error of incompatibility issue. But I hate to know that even though my ryzen 5 2500u processor has TPM 2.0 support.. is still not listed in windows 11 supported processor list.😑 don't know what is the matter and what is wrong with Microsoft.
Not working! I have a 64bit should I have used QWord rather than DWord? Can you please provide all the possible bypasses needed because I am still not able to install after doing all that :-( same error can't run
It should be a DWORD on 64-bit systems as well. There is no 32-bit Windows 11. The three possible bypasses when installing from USB are BypassTPMCheck, BypassSecureBootCheck, and BypassRAMCheck. All need to be DWORDS set to the value "1" as shown in the video. Note that these will not work if you try to upgrade from inside a running Windows 10 instance - they're for booting from USB to install.
If you're happy to accept the risks that come with an unsupported configuration then the process at chapter 9:11 "Upgrading with an older CPU/TPM" should work for you
So if I don't mind the "system requirement not met" in the lower right corner, I can ignore it? This just came up with a download yesterday, and I didn't see it the past 10 months. Is there anyway I can find out what part of Windows isn't "compatible"?
Have you signed up to the insider program? I recall them saying that warning was in preview builds, but I've not seen it on a regular install. You can ignore it if you're aware of and happy to accept the risks. I'm sure there was also a way to disable the warning via registry or group policy, too...
@@ProTechShow I don't know what "insider program" means. I bought my new computer 10 months ago, and did an upgrade to Windows 11 because it was free. I've got 2 "notification downloads" and one screwed my entire computer up. Had to reinstall Win 11 all over. Lost all my passwords and stuff. So I turned off auto upgrades. Sadly, I'm having issues with my Cyberpower computer or Win 11 not working in "sleep mode". The computer does some kind of auto shutdown, fan speeds up to max, and you can't turn it off unless you unplug it. That was 6 days ago, and since I changed the settings on shutdown to "best performance", it hasn't happened. But while changing settings, I must have clicked on upgrades to start up again and that's when I saw "SRNM" warning.
The insider program is an option you can select to get early versions of Windows. You get to preview new features, but they may not be stable. The warning you've received was a feature added to the insider builds of Windows but I've not seen it on any "normal" installs yet.
Not sure what you mean? One issue with ChatGPT is that its training data is a couple of years out of date so it isn't a great resource for questions about compatibility. If you mean developing a driver... I'm sure it could help an experienced developer to work faster, but the code it produces isn't terribly reliable.
Is there any way to change the registry on an existing W11 install so I don't have to go and reinstall Windows? I installed W11 on a machine that met the minimum requirements but now I'm trying to use the same drive on an older machine and I can't get it to run. I've tried the registry edits that are supposed to work on an image of W11 saved on a USB stick, but it didn't do anything.
The registry edits are for passing artificial checks in the Windows 11 installer. Once installed, you don't need any of them to run it. It's more likely that your older machine is set to (or only supports) legacy BIOS mode, whereas Windows 11 requires UEFI. Check the BIOS settings to see if there's an option to enable UEFI. The disk will be partitioned differently for each mode.
@@ProTechShow No, my bios is UEFI but because I installed Windows 11 on a machine that met the minimum requirements, I can't use it on another computer which doesn't meet the requirements. I don't want to have to go and reinstall windows all over again just to be able to use the SSD on an older computer which is why I'm trying to find out if there is a way to modify an exisiting W11 install to run on a computer that doesn't meet the minimum requirements.
@@twizz420 I don't think your issue is related to the "unsupported hardware" issue in this video. The ones shown here are artificial limitations imposed by Microsoft in the installer. If you install Windows 11 on a machine that meets all of their requirements you can take the drive out, plug it into one that doesn't meet these artificial requirements (e.g. one that doesn't have a TPM), and it will boot just fine as long as the hardware is actually compatible with your installation. I suspect you have some other incompatibility between old and new computers. If it's not BIOS/UEFI, perhaps it's a driver conflict. Perhaps your SATA mode is set differently on the two machines. It's impossible to say. Perhaps the hardware is just too different?
I don't think it has anything to do with the hardware being too different because I've run the same drive on a few different computers that are equally or even more different than the PC that I installed it on. Whenever this one PC tries to run windows, it gets to the windows boot screen and the loading icon goes around half a turn then freezes, and then the computer locks up. It's only a Z97 machine, it's not THAT old. I've run it on a machine with just a J2900 and it ran fine with even that. I'll check the bios settings again just to be sure it's all correct. I'm putting it in Windows 10 mode with secure boot off and AHCI.
The registry-enabled bypasses only affect artificial checks performed by the installer program. Windows itself doesn't care about them, so if you install a TPM afterwards Windows will be able to use it.
No. The running version of Windows isn't even aware of the bypass you applied to the installer. The last time I installed Windows 11 I forgot to enable the TPM in the BIOS. Went back and enabled it later and Windows started using it automatically.
I haven't tried it on a Mac, but it works fine on other virtualisation platforms (VMware, Hyper-V) so I expect it should work. Virtualisation is the main reason I use this trick - if I need to quickly test something in Win11 it's much easier to hit Shift+F10 and add a registry value than faff about with the infrastructure to provision a virtual TPM in most cases.
Not sure what you're referring to in October? It's still working fine for me, no problems. The only catch I've noted is that you need to follow the same process to install the annual "feature update". If you don't, then eventually you'll stop receiving security updates and that would be bad.
@@ProTechShow gotcha. I went from windows 7 to 10 yesterday and so far actually like it more. It's so much better with getting the proper drivers without me having to find them myself. But sounds like you kinda have to keep tricking windows 11 if you want to stay updated?
If you have an old CPU/TPM it isn't a big deal. Once you've added the registry setting the first time around, you just need to download and run the ISO once a year to get the latest version. If you have no TPM and could only reinstall rather than upgrade, then you'd need to reinstall every year. That could get tedious.
You can't do an in-place upgrade because there is no 32-bit version of Windows 11 for you to upgrade to. You can do a fresh install using these methods, asumming your hardware is 64-bit capable, but if you've been running a 32-bit OS you probably ought to consider a hardware upgrade. Consumer CPUs moved to 64-bit around 20 years ago so there's a good chance your hardware is quite dated. Even if it's not too old and is 64-bit capable, 32-bit Windows couldn't use more than 4GB of RAM outside of servers and I don't think 4GB will give a great experience on Windows 11 so that could be a limiting factor for you.
All drive capacities look like a scam when you compare the advertised capacity to the capacity reported on your computer. Firstly, the usable capacity will be smaller than the raw capacity once it's been formatted with a filesystem. Secondly, computers and manufacturers measure gigabytes differently. A computer actually measures gibibytes (note the B) because it counts in binary. A manufacturer will say 1 GB = 1000 MB because it's in keeping with the metric standard and makes their product look bigger. A computer will say 1 GB = 1024 MB because it's a power of 2 and easier to count in binary. You can do a fresh install of Windows 11 on less than 64 GB, but you probably can't do an in-place upgrade. I installed it on this and it only has 32 GB. It fits, but only barely. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BHhhuxfV0co.html

Make sure to check all of the prerequisites for Windows 11. You might have a more fundamental issue that can't be fixed by a registry change e.g. you may have an MBR drive that needs to be converted to GPT first.
Assuming you're talking about an in-place upgrade then when you do a factory reset it should reinstall the original version of Windows 10 that came with the computer.
@@razvan3596 The reset option reinstalls Windows from a recovery image stored on the hard drive. If you've done an in-place upgrade it will reinstall whatever image your manufacturer put there - probably Windows 10.

F*k Microsoft they know we have not changed our CPUs over a year My CPU is Intel core i7 4790k And still working just fine Do you know why i don't wanna change a CPU??

Those rules are stupid. I have a PC with TPM and not to old i5. When I did try to turn on TPM in the bios the damn PC did stop booting. So I was easier to mod the windows install and bypass everything 🤔 I guess most of people's that are not good on PC stuff will just ignore windows 11 cause they simply will not even try. To do it the right way you need to clean the disk and install windows 11 with the new bios settings? Or is it another way?
You shouldn't need to wipe your drive. I would guess that when you enabled the TPM you also changed some other settings - perhaps you installed in legacy BIOS mode and to enable the TPM it changed to UEFI mode? The boot process for UEFI and legacy BIOS is different so if that's what happened your install is likely fine but your UEFI doesn't know how to use it. UEFI also requires the disk to be partitioned as GPT whereas an install in legacy BIOS mode might have been using MBR. If you're moving from BIOS/MBR to UEFI/GPT it is possible to convert in-place, but it's a bit complicated.
