Windows 11 24H2 Not installing on unsupported hardware with TPM 2.0 not found error 

This is exactly the reason I didn't force an upgrade on a unsupported machine

The Windows Server trick worked for me yesterday to get it on unsupported hardware.

I tried using rufus with the "release channel" insider program iso. I haven't tried it with the official 24H2 iso. Using the "release channel" iso from the insider program, Rufus still told me my hardware was unsupported despite checking the appropriate boxes. So instead, I mounted it and installed using the command prompt as administrator with the command "setup.exe /product server" and upgraded from 23H2 to 24H2. I have no tpm and no secure boot and my system has been receiving updates as normal. I installed just a few hours before 24H2 was officially released.

What is a little bit absurd is that once windows 11 is installed with TPM 2.0 enabled, if you want for whatever reason, like installing another OS in dual-boot mode, you can disable TPM 2.0 and wortk normally with windows 11, TPM is not mentioned anymore.

Hi, @WCT 🙂Just to warn that you have a small typo in the title of this video: it mentions "TMP 2.0" when it should be "TPM 2.0"

It still works for me when I installed it from the Dev. Channels version. My PC has Machinist X99-RS9 and an E5-2660 V4 CPU. It's an LGA-2011 motherboard.

*UPDATE:* My machine has no TPM, Secure boot is disabled, my cpu is W11 compatible(Ryzen 7 1800X). I downloaded the official 24H2 64 bit ISO from Microsoft and used rufus to do a full install to my unsupported machine. I checked the boxes to disable checks for TPM, secure boot and Bitlocker. I'm up and running and I've installed basic updates (hardware etc). My current build is 26100.1742. I have not installed the Windows Insider update preview KB5043178 as of yet.

You can do an in place upgrade with the Bypasser script. That works too.

Since I have a new PC now I tried it on my old unsupported HP 800 SFF desktop that I had installed windows 11 and had been using 22H2, and 23H2 on. Reformatted my SSD drive, and loaded the image after running the bypass on . Didn't work for me. Would not install. Right before I tried it, I imaged or cloned my drive with 23h2 on it. Ended up just restoring the image back to it. Since I have the new desktop, and it's fully Windows 11 supported, I'm just waiting until it shows up in windows update to do it.

wrong yes it does work as i used rufus yesterday and the 24H2 installed with no problems

I did not use Rufus, but another script and 24H2 installed on my computer without TPM 2.0.

I installed 23h2 with rufus on a dell inspiron 5570 with rufus last week. today i downloaded 24h2, created the same bootable usb with rufus and dell doesn't even recognise the usb drive. note: usb drive works fine. i re-create with 23h2 and it works fine too.

I am on Windows 11 24H2 on my 10 years old computer installed on he Patriot USB drive and it works great. On Windows-to-Go in Rufus the TPM 2.0 IS NOT REQUIRED.

even if you bypass somehow later you not going to be able to update

Perhaps it depends on your particular machine, but my old AMD system running 23H2 would not install 24H2 after using Rufus to copy the image. The install wouldn't proceed citing no TPM, etc. If you have the same problem it can be bypassed using an admin command prompt in the thumb drive's 'sources' folder. From there you type in "setupprep.exe /product server" without quotes. This will start the install process, and while it says "installing windows server", it's actually installing the version you're running.

My unsupported machine is now running Linux

Mine is saying that both processor AND tpm are not compatible after trying to use Rufus 😢

I'm happy with 23H2...I won't install 24H2 till i need a full reinstall...but such hypocrites of MS being "carbon neutral" creating a lot of e-WASTE doing these shady business practices

I got it to install on an old HP Elitedesk. It works fine but the newest 24H2 update wont install.

Je suis sous Windows 11 24H2 sur mon ordinateur de 10 ans installé sur la clé USB Patriot et cela fonctionne très bien. Sur Windows-to-Go dans Rufus, le TPM 2.0 N'EST PAS REQUIS.

Is there an iso of release candidate builds? I hear there's a 24h2 release candidate that has unsupported hardware blocked.

Mine bit locker is off, didn't have issues after install of win11 24h2

for me on 6700K its after first install after first reboot got blue screen with option go to recovery

Not sure what to say I have a ryzen 7 1700, and it wasn't supported but got with win11 now 24h2 didn't have to use Rufus this time but only diff I can say is I got windows beta from insider program

I've installed on my pc with vmware made with rufus on a flash drive and it worked

I tried several times with the same result, unsuported requirements.

You can alsow try to make an unattended XML file, and try with that maybe? I don't have 24H2 in my region at the time. There is a internet side where the file can be made and downloaded.

Been reading all the comments on the Windows 11 videos and listening to them 24 H2. Well, couple observations from reading this stuff I haven’t been able to get around to actually playing with it yet but first of all I only have one machine now that does not have a TPM chip. Everything else has a TPM chip. So I’m unclear if people are trying it the people who say that it doesn’t work maybe they don’t have TPM installed? Or not on in their bios? On all my machines it’s on. My oldest machine that I have is an Intel seventh GEN processor. And it’s a modern machine so my question I guess everybody here would be is this the beginning that only modern PCs that have TPM chips and those things will work now UFI machine machines could legacy machines be shut out? That’s what I would wanna know. And I’d be also curious to know if this was a Rufus error or if this was just Microsoft attempt to block And about the bit locker thing I guess we’ll find out tomorrow after those tests have been complete. I’ll probably check Rufus‘s website. See you within the next week or so if they release another release of it to address these issues. Something tells me that we’re gonna be seeing Windows 12 next year and Windows 12 is not going to support these legacy machines that we have and that what could be happening, is they’re getting ready for windows 12 so this could be the last what I would call major upgrade to Windows 11 I mean I’m sure they’ll be other smaller versions of releases but it looks like we’re in for a Windows 12 announcement sometime next summer. This is only my prediction. We’ll see we’ll see you in the next couple of weeks if if this is a roof is problem or if it’s Microsoft blocking and if they’re blocking, are they going to block with machine machines already with TPM as well as machines that don’t have it or are they just gonna do this and leave all the other machines alone and then windows 12 might not support some of these seventh generation or sixth GEN machine well we have a lot to think about here anyway thank you very much and I need to set some time aside to do some experimentations. It’s to really see what’s going on here but like I said TPM two is on all of my machines except for one and that machine is a my legacy machine is a 2010 Dell latitude E 6510 and my oldest machine is I believe a 2016 machine so pretty modern. So well modern compared to UEF and stuff mean machines are different now but that’s my oldest machine in terms of UFI is my 2016 machine. So we’ll see what they do see what kind of greedy protocols they want to put in place for the future. legacy machine.

Windows 11 or Windows 11-PRO? are they/will they both update? x.

Mine works on 6th Gen intel Celeron 3855u

IoT...

i instaled 24h2 on a old 2g hp zbook with a usb made from microsoft 11 homepage apsolut no problem the laptop is from 2015 ...
