Microsoft provides solution for upgrading unsupported hardware to Windows 11

Even though Microsoft advises to avoid installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware, the company has just provided a working path to it.

Customers that are still eager to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet hardware requirements, will have to acknowledge that they understand the risks of these actions.

As many users do not own the latest TPM 2.0 and CPU model required for Windows 11, these checks can be bypassed by creating the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup

Key type: Reg_DWORD

Key name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU

Key value: 1

With this key, it is basically possible to install and run Windows 11 on any device but Microsoft has also posted another document explaining that your system might malfunction due to compatibility issues and will not be guaranteed to receive updates including, but not limited to security updates.

Have you tried to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware and if so, did you have any issues running it? Please share your comment below.
