How to Bypass Windows 11 System Requirements in One Command


Is there a way to prevent the "What needs your attention" prompt?

My work has about 150 PCs that need to be upgraded to Windows 11 that are not technically supported but can be upgraded via this method, and it doesn't seem to get past 35% installed unless this prompt is accepted, making this task much more time-intensive.
And does your management understand the "risks?"

Yes, they do. This is mainly just a bandaid as they are wanting all of our devices to be on Windows 11 by October of this year. Realistically all of our PCs need to be replaced with new ones as they are running on 9 years old. We have even older ones that we will be focusing on replacing, but it's not in the budget to accomplish this right now.

Bypassing that prompt is tricky because it's part of the Windows Update upgrade process. It likely pulls data from compatibility checks built into the setup process.

If I were setting up this kind of process, I would use a network-hosted ISO and update from there. This avoids waiting for the download and allows full automation. You can script the process entirely using my bypass script or by launching setup.exe with the /product server parameter.

This one .cmd is all I ever run. Never had any computer have issues installing via iso mounted inside windows (upgrade from win 7, win 10 or from 22h2 to 24h2)

Does this only bypass tpm check as the title says or bypass all system requirements?

I created this PowerShell script at work to make my life easier by bypassing Windows 11 system requirements, allowing Windows 10 to upgrade via Windows Update to the latest Windows 11 version. It also works for upgrading an unsupported Windows 11 system to a newer version.
I've tested this on multiple machines with great success. After running this script, you should also be able to upgrade using a Windows 11 ISO by running setup.exe directly.

What This Script Does​

  • Bypasses Windows 11 hardware checks, including TPM, Secure Boot, RAM, and CPU restrictions.
  • Removes Windows Update compatibility restrictions, allowing upgrades through Windows Update.
  • Disables the "System Requirements Not Met" watermark.
  • Attempts to block telemetry and compatibility scans that could revert the registry changes in future updates.
  • Targets the latest Windows 11 24H2 update

How to Use​

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run the following command:

Powershell:
iwr -useb "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Win11Modder/Win11-Req-Bypass/main/Win11_Bypass.ps1" | iex
3. Restart your computer

Notes​

The script also tries to prevent Windows Updates from restoring blocked registry values by disabling automatic tasks related to CompatTelRunner.exe. This should help ensure that major version upgrades continue to install normally. However, if Microsoft introduces new restrictions or makes major changes, I'll try to update the script accordingly.

For issues related to Windows Update freezes, cache problems, or failed updates, I have also added a Windows Update reset feature. This can be executed using the -r parameter:
Unfortunately, this option does not work when running the script via iwr | iex, so you must first download the script from GitHub manually.

GitHub Repository: Win11-Req-Bypass

Use at your own risk, and let me know if you run into any issues!

Feedback is appreciated!
hi, good day to you! i'm running win 11 24h2 smoothly on my laptop, but not receiving security updates, i wonder if this powershell command can be ran on my current version to receive future updates, hehe..thanks much!

Forget all that stuff. !!! - Why make things so complicated !!.

Just use dism /Apply-Image and have done with the whole B/S -- Dism /Apply-Image will install to almost any hardware whatsoever including physical vhd(x) files with / without TPM , including loads of "unsupported" CPU's and to external devices etc so long as there's enough disk space and memory (4GB RAM is probably the minimum to make a decent workinable W11 install. At ist OOBE boot you can also use local account -- choose "workplace / school) for where computer will be used at (is computer for school or workplace) and for login options select domain join.

OK I'm ignoring W11 Home -- but if you are on W11 Home (why still bother with that -- when you can get really cheap W11 pro versions) !

I've seen today on Amazon really cheap MiniPC's with Gen 12 CPU's around €170 --yes €170 with W11 Pro installed -- cheaper than "Official retail price" of W11 pro by itself. !!!!

Cheers

Hello. After using that Powershell command to avoid TPM check, this pop up on my Update and Security tab. How can I fix this?

Run the script, select "3 - Remove target release version from registry". This is assuming you've completed the upgrade.
