Question Bypassing Win 11 requirements (TPM 2.0) etc.

[brad1138]

I was creating a Win 11 install USB with Rufus and this came up.

I was unaware you could do that, but with a quick search, I found this:

https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement

So I guess it is easy to do, and I will use it on my FX-8350 system. But I am building 3 new computers (Ryzen 5 5600s), that are Win 11 compatible. Is there any reason to or not to remove those requirements on a system that is Win 11 compatible already?

Do you care about Windows Updates and patches? If you manage to install Windows 11 on an incompatible platform you will be locked out of those.

Well... That would be a reason not to. But that article says nothing about that (unless I missed it).

MS has said that unsupported systems might stop getting support (like updates) in the future.
One one hand that is just corporate talk, they have to say these things to be legally covered, on the other hand they might actually implement something like that.
Even though there is zero reason for them to do it.
Up until now unsupported systems are still getting all of the updates.

win 11 isn't going to be any better on your current PC than 10 is, I wouldn't bother.

Please start a NEW thread for your particular situation.
Be sure to tell us what specific CPU etc.

But, a new CPU generally means a new motherboard.
Which means a full OS reinstall.

And, in any case, keeping the files shouldn't be a concern because you already should have good backups for all your important data. And if you don't, you have a far bigger, more pressing problem than worrying about getting Windows 11.
