Installing Windows 11 on a computer without TPM 2.0

What changes do I make to enable installing Windows 11 on a computer without TPM 2.0?
It has been covered before in the forums many times.....

 
TPM 2.0 cant be bypassed yet... in some versions you can just use the win10 boot.wim but from v1150 it no longer works at least in my testing not yet

Why use Search, when he can just post random questions??

Wrong. Different TPM bypass solutions have been around since late 2021, and widely discussed online.

The cleanest solution is to directly integrate the BypassTPM reg setting into boot.wim, which NTLite can do from Settings for licensed users. If you're using free edition, you can integrate the same changes using a reg file.

It's also possible to use an Unattended file to do the same work. Rufus offers this option while you're creating an USB drive.

Using an older boot.wim or Setup.exe can work, but you have to keep another copy around every time another new Windows gets released.
 
All previous posts refer to the older versions not the one for 24h2 which can only be bypassed using the boot from win10 not by the selections in ntlite like what you do for any previous versions of win11
 
There's no TPM in this VMware virtual machine. I just installed 24H2 using NTLite's normal BypassTPM setting.

The only difference in 24H2 HW requirements is a different list of supported CPU's (from appraiser.dll) and the absolute requirement you have SSE4 instruction set support since 24H2 is compiled that way. Otherwise the TPM bypass works as it always has.

I use Windows 10 boot.wim for this, which has BYPASSSTPM reg and autounattend integrated into it.xml that allows you to skip all questions during installation and does not require an internet connection. It works 100%.

If you use a W10 boot.wim, there's no need for BypassTPM settings. The reason is the W10 version of WinPE Setup.exe doesn't care about those requirements.

BypassRNO works with no restrictions for W11 21H2. 22H2 and later will not allow it if OOBE detects a working network connection (because it KNOWS you're trying to cheat). MS updated the checking because BypassRNO was shared everywhere online.
 
Registry hack is a bit complicated for beginners. I spent a few hours with the online tutorial but failed. Ended up wit a dedicated app to bypass TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and Unsupported CPU by enabling the feature when burning Windows 11 ISO to USB.
