My bad. After I read the OP I just followed a registry mod procedure I had previously read om another site.

Ah, that's the secret. Thanks. I wish someone had mentioned that sooner.

OK, I still cannot figure out how one would modify a registry when doing a clean install from a bootable USB ISO - where is the registry and if it exists at a point before the compatibility check is performed, how does one modify it before that happens?? Anyhow, I used the replace the...

Yeah, in a "clean" install there is initially no registry to check so the install s/w would have to check the BIOS for compatibility, I think. As well, even if the install worked (initially), what happens afterward when Win 11 looks to use the TPM and Secure Boot functions?

Huh? How on earth would that work? The install doesn't proceed until the compatibility check is satisfied, no? If part of Windows is already written, how would you interrupt the process to change a registry??

I don't understand this. Are you saying the Win 11 ISO should be placed on a bootable USB and installed from there? If so, how would you make any registry changes??

So did I - no cigar. Still says I need TPM and Secure Boot. :(
