How to install Windows 11 on a computer that does not support the minimum requirements
Important warnings
Microsoft does not guarantee updates on unsupported hardware.
The system may be slower or unstable
It is worth making a backup copy of your data
Method 1: Install Windows 11 via Rufus (EASIEST)
What you will need:
Flash drive, min. 8 GB
Rufus Program
Windows 11 ISO image
Step by step:
Download Windows 11 ISO
Download Rufus
Connect the pendrive and run Rufus
In Rufus:
Device: select flash drive
Boot Selection: Select Windows 11 ISO
After clicking START, the options window will appear
Mark:
✔ Remove TPM 2.0 Secure Boot CPU requirement
✔ Remove Microsoft account requirement
✔ Deactivate BitLocker
✔ Deactivate personal data collection (telemetry)
Do not select the third option from the top
Click OK and wait for the pendrive to burn
Boot your computer from the flash drive and install Windows 11 normally
✅ Done
Method 2: Modifying the registry during installation
Works when installing from official ISO
Run the Windows 11 installer
When a message about missing requirements appears:
Press Shift + F10
Enter:
regedit
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
Create key:
LabConfig
In it, add DWORD (32-bit) values:
BypassTPMCheck = 1
BypassSecureBootCheck = 1
BypassCPUCheck = 1
Close the registry editor and continue with the installation.
Method 3: Upgrade from Windows 10 (no clean install)
For Windows 10, download the Windows 11 ISO
Right click → Mount
Run setup.exe
If the installer is stuck:
use Rufus (method 1) I highly recommend either
modify the registry as above
Select "Keep files and apps"
Common problems
❌ No updates → usually still working
❌ Slow performance → disable unnecessary services in services.msc or install the AtlasOS playbook (optionally disable animations and effects)
Recommendation
➡ The best and safest method: Rufus
➡ Works in ~95% of cases
