It seems that Microsoft's controversial decision, which drew criticism from many users, is being rolled back. The company has “listened,” and now the new operating system is available to almost everyone. All it takes is applying some “hacker skills,” at your own risk

Many questions have arisen regarding the new Windows 11 operating system. Among other requirements, users noticed the “TPM version 2.0” (Trusted Platform Module). This led to many PCs simply being incompatible with the new OS. Then, Microsoft documents mentioned special versions of the Windows 11 OS that “are not required to ship with TPM support enabled.”

Now the multinational company Microsoft has decided to shift the solution to the problem it created onto ordinary users. For the daring, they released instructions on how to bypass the absurd requirement.

Those wishing to install Windows 11 are offered to perform a series of steps:

  1. Open “Registry Editor”
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
  3. Create a parameter named AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU of type DWORD (32-bit) and set its value to 1

This will bypass the “TPM 2.0” check, but Microsoft clarified that TPM 1.2 support will still be required. You can check which version of TPM is enabled as follows: press Win+R (“Run”) and launch “tpm.msc”.

They particularly emphasize: “Microsoft cannot guarantee that these issues [arising from editing the registry] can be resolved. Make changes to the registry at your own risk.”
