Microsoft now requires a computer to have a TPM 2.0 module to install Windows 11. However, new Registry entries have been discovered that allow you to bypass the TPM requirement and minimum memory and secure boot requirements.

With Windows 11, Microsoft added new minimum system requirements that all devices need to have a TPM 2.0 security processor to power some of the operating system's security features.

"The following Windows features require TPM 2.0: Measured Boot, Device Encryption, WD System Guard, Device Health Attestation, Windows Hello/Hello for Business, TPM Platform Crypto Provider Key Storage, SecureBIO, DRTM, vTPM in Hyper-V," Microsoft told BleepingComputer.

For most people running CPUs created in the past 5-6 years, a firmware-based TPM (fTPM) is built into the CPU and can be enabled in the BIOS.

To enable the fTPM, simply boot your computer into the BIOS and enable the Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT) or the AMD Platform Security Processor, depending on your CPU.
