Are you looking at Windows 11, but it does not meet the minimum requirements for your bold PC installation? No problem, there is official training for that. Incredibly, Microsoft has released step-by-step instructions online to work around its controls to prevent Windows 11 from being installed on PCs that do not meet its specifications.
As a reminder, the new Microsoft OS can only be installed on computers with the DPM 2.0 module, supports secure lock, and has an Intel or AMD processor listed on the Microsoft supported chips. In fact, Microsoft explains that it can easily install its operating system on PCs that do not meet all of these criteria. However, your computer must have at least a TPM 1.2 module.
Generous, but not irresponsible, Microsoft still warns vulnerable users of the operation: they do so at their own risk. You need to create a new entry in the Windows 10 registry for manipulation, the latter allowing you to start the update to Windows 11, without checking if the machine has the popular DPM 2.0 module. If you have an old machine running Windows 10 that is inappropriate and unused and you have been tested by experience, here’s how to upgrade your computer to Windows 11.
