Microsoft has recently removed the official guidelines for bypassing CPU and TPM 2.0 requirements when installing Windows 11 on unsupported PCs.
This removal occurred after Microsoft released the Windows 11 24H2 version, and now the mention of the registry entry method AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU is no longer found on Microsoft’s official support site.

In light of this, Microsoft now recommends purchasing a new PC for those looking to upgrade to Windows 11, highlighting the company’s preference for using supported devices.
Additionally, by acquiring a new device certified as a Copilot+ PC, users can access the full range of Windows 11 features, including AI support and more.
However, it’s important to note that while the specific instructions for installing Windows 11 on unsupported devices have been removed and Microsoft advises buying new hardware, bypass methods are still feasible.
Using tools like Rufus, it’s possible to bypass TPM and Secure Boot requirements, allowing Windows 11 to run smoothly on PCs with specifications below the minimum requirements.
Furthermore, according to dgdig’s testing, Windows 11 performs quite well on an Intel Core i5 2400, provided you have at least 8 GB of RAM, an SSD, and a dual-core processor. Devices with these specs should still be capable of running Windows 11.
Of course, if you use the latest hardware, Windows 11 will operate at its full potential and deliver optimal performance.
