Windows 11 Download Without TPM 2.0 [Windows 11 Installation Guide]
The minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11 are:
- The processor should be at least 1 gigahertz (GHz) and have 2 or more cores, on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device
- System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable
- TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0
- Graphics card: DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x

- To set up Windows 11 Home, you need a Microsoft account and an active internet connection. This is required for the initial setup process, which includes activating the operating system, updating the system to the latest version, and registering the device with Microsoft.
The minimum system requirements for Windows 11 include UEFI secure boot firmware settings and a TPM 2.0 chip. However, some devices may have UEFI firmware but lack the required TPM 2.0, preventing them from receiving the Windows 11 update. Fortunately, there is a possible solution to bypass the TPM 2.0 requirement and still get the Windows 11 free upgrade from Windows 10.
How to Configure Your PC to Be Eligible for Other Requirements Except TPM 2.0
Before proceeding, you need to ensure your device meets seven additional requirements to run Windows 11. The Qiling Windows 11 Upgrade Checker can help with a pre-check, providing a list of compatible and incompatible items for your reference.

How to Bypass TPM 2.0 When Installing Windows 11 Using a Manual Way
If you're trying to install Windows 11 from a USB installation media on a PC or laptop that's not compatible, you'll get the error "This PC can't run Windows 11" during the installation process, likely due to the system not having two security settings enabled: UEFI secure boot and TPM 2.0.

Step 5. Inside the LabConfig, right-click in a blank space and click New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Step 6. Then name it BypassTPMCheck.
Step 7. Right-click on it and select Modify… option to edit the DWORD Value.
Step 8. Now give it a value of 00000001 and click OK.
Step 9. Now you have two DWORD values inside the LabConfig Key. And the screenshot will look like this:
