Overview or Windows 11
In June 2021, a leaked version of Windows 11 surfaced online, causing a lot of sensation, since Microsoft had previously stated during Windows 10's release that it would be the last version of the Windows operating system. According to the leaked version, Windows 11 introduces many improvements, with significant interface changes. It offers a Mac-like OS interface while adding some new features (Android application support, a redesigned start menu, and improved Window components, etc.) and enhanced legacy functions (game performance, virtual desktops, etc.). A few months later, Microsoft officially launched Windows 11 on October 5, 2021, followed by a Windows 11 system requirements update.
Windows 11 system requirements
Windows 11 is the most popular Windows operating system as Microsoft will discontinue Windows 10 support in October 2025. Althougt Microsoft offered a free Windows 11 upgrade for Windows 10 users, most computers will fail to upgrade due to Windows 11 system requirements. Below are the official Windows 11 system requirements:
| Processor | 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with two or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or system on a chip (SoC) |
| RAM | 4 gigabytes (GB) or greater |
| Storage | 64 GB or greater free storage space is required to install Windows 11 |
| System firmware | UEFI, Secure Boot capable |
| TPM | Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 |
| Graphics card | Compatible with DirectX 12 or later and a WDDM 2.0 driver |
| Display | High-definition (720p) display, 9-inch or large monitor, 8 bits per color channel |
| Internet connection | Internet connectivity is necessary to perform updates, and to download and use certain online features |
Windows 11 system requirements demand that the target computer must be a UEFI computer with a TPM version 2.0, which will prevent legacy BIOS computers and UEFI computers without TPM 2.0 from installing Windows 11. Analysts estimate that nearly two-thirds of global computers may be unable to upgrade to Windows 11.
How to check if your computer meets Windows 11 system requirements?
To help users check if their computers meet Windows 11 system requirements, Microsoft has released the PC Health Check tool. Using this tool, you can easily check whether your computer meets the Windows 11 system requirements. You only need to install and run the program, and then click the "Check now" button. You'll instantly see if your PC meets all requirements.
As shown in the above picture, when PC Health Check prompts "TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled on this PC", your computer either lacks a TPM 2.0 chip or it is disabled. If you confirm that your computer has TPM 2.0, enable it and then check again.
How to bypass Windows 11 system requirements to install Windows 11?
Can you still install Windows 11 on your computer that doesn't meet the Windows 11 system requirements, such as lacking TPM 2.0? Yes! There are some methods online that can bypass Windows 11 system requirements to install Windows 11. The specific methods are manually replacing the appraiserres.dll file in the Windows 11 installation ISO file, or modifying the BypassTPMCheck registry value during installation. As detailed guides for these methods are widely available online, we will not explain further here. This guide will detail another simpler method, using Hasleo WinToUSB to create a Windows 11 installation USB drive that can bypass Windows 11 system requirements, enabling installation on computers lacking TPM 2.0 support.
Tutorial to Create a Windows 11 Installation USB Drive for Computers Without TPM.
Step 1. Download and install Hasleo WinToUSB. Then download a Windows 11 installation ISO file manually or use the bulit-in Windows ISO download feature in Hasleo WinToUSB.
Step 2. Connect the USB drive to your computer, then run Hasleo WinToUSB. Click the "Windows Installation USB" option.
Step 3. Click "Select installation source", then click "Browse image file". Then choose the Windows 11 installation ISO file from the dialog box as installation source.
Step 4. Click "Select destination drive", then choose the target drive from the pop-up list. If Hasleo WinToUSB fails to detect the drive, click the 
button to initiate drive recognition.
Step 5. Select your preferred partition scheme and tick the "Bypass Windows 11 system and online Microsoft account requirements" checkbox.
* Partition scheme:
- MBR for BIOS: This option creates a Windows installation USB that can only be booted on BIOS computers.
- GPT for UEFI: This option creates a Windows installation USB that can only be booted on UEFI computers.
- MBR for BIOS and UEFI: This option creates a Windows installation USB that can be booted on both BIOS and UEFI computers.
* Bypass Windows 11 system and online Microsoft account requirements: This allows you to create a Windows 11 installation USB drive that can bypass Windows 11 system requirements and Microsoft online account requirement. This means that you can install Windows 11 on a computer that does not meet the Windows 11 system requirements, and you don't need to create an account through Microsoft account authentication to install Windows 11.
Step 6. After clicking "Proceed", a confirmation dialog will appear asking whether to continue formatting the drive. Click "Yes" if you accept the operation.
Step 7. After clicking "Yes", Hasleo WinToUSB begins creating the Winddows installation USB drive.
Step 8. Click "Finish" when the creation is complete.
Step 9. There are two ways to install Windows 11 using the Windows 11 installation USB drive created by Hasleo WinToUSB.
Method 1: Insert the Windows 11 installation USB drive into the target computer. Restart the computer and access the UEFI/BIOS settings. Set the UEFI/BIOS to boot from the USB drive, then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Method 2: Insert the Windows 11 installation USB drive into the target computer. Open File Explorer, locate and run setup.exe file from the USB drive, then follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes, you can install Windows 11 on a computer without TPM 2.0 by using Hasleo WinToUSB to create a Windows 11 installation USB drive that bypasses Windows 11 system requirements. This method is simpler than manually replacing the appraiserres.dll file or modifying the registry.
A: You can use Microsoft's PC Health Check tool to check if your computer meets Windows 11 requirements including TPM 2.0. If the tool shows TPM 2.0 is required but not enabled, you may need to enable it in your UEFI/BIOS settings.
A: TPM 2.0 is a newer version with improved cryptographic algorithms and better security features. Windows 11 specifically requires TPM 2.0, so computers with only TPM 1.2 will not meet the requirements even if enabled.
A: Yes, during Windows 11 installation you can press SHIFT + F10 to open cmd, then use regedit to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup and create a LabConfig key with BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck values set to 1.
A: While you can bypass TPM requirements to install Windows 11, there may be compatibility issues with older CPUs or motherboards. We cannot guarantee Windows 11 will work on all computers without TPM, especially those with 32-bit x86 processors or very old hardware.
Conclusion
This tutorial introduces how to create a Windows 11 installation USB drive using Hasleo WinToUSB, bypassing Windows 11 system requirements on an unsupported computers, such as without TPM 2.0 chip. This method is simpler and more convenient, and you don't need to manually replace the appraiserres.dll file or modify the registry.
