This pc doesn't meet the minimum system requirements windows 11 - how to fix?

Hi

https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/inspiron/how-can-i-install-windows-11-on-unsupported-cpu/67e64f36350db56843a3cb03?commentId=67ea5ddc1f413b3c1a363371

Of course, there are ways to bypass this annoying prompt. I have encountered This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 before, which made me full of questions. But in fact, the solution is quite simple. Here are two tips that I have personally tested and found to be effective.

✅ Method 1: Use the registry to skip the detection during installation (no need to ask for help!)

When you are halfway through the installation and the interface of This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 appears, just press Shift + F10 to pop up the command line window, and then enter:

regedit Then open the registry editor and find this path in turn:

sql HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup Right-click Setup → Create a new item, name it LabConfig, and then add the following two DWORD (32-bit) values ​​in it:

BypassTPMCheck, set the value to 1

BypassSecureBootCheck, also set the value to 1

After that, close the registry window, return to the installation interface and continue to the next step, and ignore This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 Tips, cool!

✅ Method 2: Delete appraiserres.dll file (the laziest method)
If you upgrade directly with ISO file, you can do it like this:

First extract the ISO of Windows 11

Go to the sources folder

Find the appraiserres.dll file and delete it!

Then run setup.exe inside. At this time, the system will not detect TPM, CPU, Secure Boot and other ghost requirements, and will not jump out This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11 at all, just like nothing happened~

These two methods are the ones I use the most. The key point is that no third-party tools are required, and the system can handle it by itself~ After installation, it can be used and updated normally (I have been using it for almost half a year). If you don’t want to toss too much, try the first one, simple and direct!

If you don't want to use the registry or are worried about the unpredictable consequences of modifying the registry, there is a more reliable and simpler solution. You can create a system backup or disk backup on another computer that has successfully installed Windows 11 to get an adi image file, and then restore it to the computer you want to upgrade. This will skip the installation process and solve the "This pc doesn't meet the minimum system requirements windows 11" problem.

Once the backup is complete, you can upgrade the computer from system backup and connect the removable drive with the image file to the computer. Wait for it to complete and the Windows 11 system image should have been successfully restored to this computer. You can restart your computer to check if it can boot from Windows 11. If you don't like the new operating system, you can restore the computer to Windows 10 via backup.

This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11? Upgrading to Windows 11 can be tricky, especially with that annoying minimum requirements message. Since your dad's old desktop has a decent configuration but lacks TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, you can indeed bypass the installation restrictions, but it comes with some caveats. Here are some steps you can try to get around these restrictions:

Registry Editor Bypass- This method involves modifying the registry to bypass the TPM and Secure Boot checks.

Step 1: Open Registry Editor
Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
Type regedit and hit Enter (be cautious when navigating here).

Step 2: Navigate to the Key
Go to this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup

Step 3: Create New Key
Right-click on the Setup key, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig.
Inside the LabConfig key, create the following DWORD (32-bit) values:

• BypassTPMCheck: Set it to 1
• BypassSecureBootCheck: Set it to 1
• BypassRAMCheck: Set it to 1 (Optional, but can be useful)

Step 4: Close Registry Editor
Once you’re done, close the registry editor.

If you have encountered the prompt "This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11", after some exploration, you can bypass the system requirements detection by modifying the registry. The specific method is:

1. During the installation process, press Shift + F10 to open the command line and enter regedit to open the registry editor.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup, right-click the Setup folder, select "New" -> "Key", and name it LabConfig.
3. In LabConfig, right-click and select Create a new "DWORD (32-bit) Value", name it BypassTPMCheck, and set the value to 1.
4. In the same way, create BypassSecureBootCheck and set it to 1.

After saving, close the registry editor and continue the installation. This should bypass this detection.

As for whether there will be problems after installation, I did not encounter serious problems after installation, but some functions may be restricted, such as being unable to update. Overall, the installation process is relatively smooth, and you can try this method!
