Cyberdevs Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Today I have installed Windows 11 on my IvyBridge NO TPM NO Nothing, All I had to do was: 1. Download the ISO file from Microsoft for Windows 11 2. Created a bootable USB disk with windows 10 ISO file using Rufus (you can also use MediaCreationTool for windows 10) 3. Mounted the ISO image file for windows 11, replaced the install.wim from the ISO file with the one on the USB Disk which was for Windows 10 (If you use Rufus just make sure the USB Disk is formatted as NTFS because FAT32 can't store files bigger than 2.1 GB and the Install.win file is 4.7) 4. Boot into the installer and install Windows 11 5. Do the rest of the installation normally So far the updates are working and the only issue is that upon start Microsoft Teams is showing some errors so I disabled it from the Startup. No registry tweaking during installation, no untrusted tampered with ISO download. Have fun 4 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349174-install-windows-11-on-unsupported-hardware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5T33Z0 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Nice. I have an Ivy Bridge Notebook as well. Did you have to enable secure boot in BIOS in order to install and run it?

Cyberdevs Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 @5T33Z0 No secure boot is disabled. This method uses windows 10's boot process so secure boot isn't mandatory and it can be disabled.

fantomas Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Microsoft already reported that people want be able to install Win11 on unsupported PC's but only via ISO. TPM checks are only reserved for WUAUSERV (Windows Update) 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349174-install-windows-11-on-unsupported-hardware/#findComment-2768584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPM checks are only reserved for WUAUSERV (Windows Update) I tried to install from the USB disk which I have created from the original ISO and got the error message and was prompted with the https://aka.ms/WindowsSysReq message so normal installation didn't work on my Ivy Bridge so I had to use this method Can you please share the link to the article that you are referring to? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/349174-install-windows-11-on-unsupported-hardware/#findComment-2768585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 About UEFI Secure Boot, Windows 11 installation requires an UEFI secure boot capable machine, enabled or disabled. About TPM or PTT, it’s mandatory to have it enabled. You can do as @Cyberdevs replacing Windows 11 install.wim file with install.esd from Windows 10 (you can also replace the entire sources folder, not only install.wim file) if you don’t have TPM / PTT or UEFI secure boot, I think this method is a lot easier than Regedit inside the installation program.
