Install Windows 11 without TPM For PCs lacking an internal TPM chip, the option to enable the Trusted Platform Module is not available. In these situations, performing technical modifications during the setup of the installation wizard becomes crucial. This allows you to effectively bypass the TPM requirement and suppress the “This PC can’t run Windows 11” message.
This blog article offers step-by-step instructions for configuring a Windows 11 virtual machine, primarily designed for Hyper-V. Notably, these instructions are applicable and effective for users utilizing VMWare Workstation and Parallels as well.
Follow these steps:
- Begin by booting from your Windows 11 Installation Disk: Utilize the Windows 11 installation disk. If unavailable, refer to our guide on downloading Windows 11.
- Language Selection: The initial screen will prompt you to choose your preferred language.
- Access Command Prompt: Initiate the command prompt by pressing SHIFT + F10.
4. Open Registry Editor: Launch the registry editor by typing “regedit” and pressing Enter.
5. Navigate to Setup Registry Key: Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
6. Create LabConfig Registry Key: Generate a new registry key under Setup, named LabConfig. Right-click in the right window pane, select New -> Key, and enter the key name.
7. Configure LabConfig DWORD Values: Within LabConfig, create DWORD values – BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck, setting each to 1. To add a new DWORD value, right-click in the right window, select New DWORD (32-bit) Value, name the key, double-click to open it, and set it to 1. Optionally, for RAM bypass, add a DWORD value for BypassRAMCheck
8. Close Registry Editor and Command Prompt: Exit both the registry editor and the command prompt.
9.Continue Installation: Proceed with the Windows 11 installation process as usual. Note: This method is effective for a clean install and does not circumvent the dual-core CPU requirement.

Take the time to assess and allocate the required memory, ensuring that your virtual environment meets the system requirements. Adequate memory allocation can contribute to a more efficient Windows 11 installation process.
3. Virtual Processors:
To meet the specific requirements of Windows 11, it’s imperative to allocate a minimum of 2 virtual processors within Hyper-V. This ensures that your virtual machine is configured with the necessary processing power to run Windows 11 smoothly. By adhering to this recommendation, you can significantly improve the overall performance of your virtual environment.
Conclusion:
To install Windows 11 on PCs without TPM, follow these steps: boot from the installation disk, access the command prompt, open the registry editor, create LabConfig key, and set BypassTPMCheck and BypassSecureBootCheck to 1. Continue with the installation. For Hyper-V users facing the “This PC can’t run Windows 11” issue, ensure 2 virtual processors, minimum 4GB RAM, and configure as Generation 2. These adjustments enhance compatibility and performance in the virtual environment, allowing you to enjoy Windows 11 seamlessly. Exercise caution when making registry edits and ensure your system meets other hardware requirements for a smooth installation.
