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!

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
jimbo

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

this script is designed to bypass hardware checks specifically for Windows Update. When running setup from a Windows 11 ISO, it performs its own internal compatibility checks. I might add an option in the future to download the ISO and run a fully automated upgrade with all checks bypassed.

Open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Update, and check the setting called Enable optional updates. Set it to Not Configured or Enbaled, adjust it so the toggle becomes available again. Restart after making changes and it should clear up

Thanks for the powershell script. is it possible to DM you with the results. One desktop successfully migrated to win11. A laptop is not showing windows 11 on check for updates. I don't know if there are forum rules on when DMs are allowed - but I do not see the option to send a DM and I am guessing it is because my forum user is new. If that is the case, you could DM me and I will respond

Feedback: I have the Surface Pro on Windows 10; Health check flagged my CPU from getting W11!
So I ran your Powershell script and used Windows Installation Assistant to download & install W11.
It installed 24H2 over 22H2 and all is working fine so far!
Kudos for providing the script process!

Re the AveYo one (Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update) mentioned a couple times, just so people know, it can throw you some curveballs on occasion, so I'm favoring the approach in this thread, which I think is essentially this.

I've seen Skip_TPM cause various subtle problems over the years. The current problem I found is on the Dev channel (previously 24H2 but now 25H2). If the Windows Update happens to be a CU, there won't be a problem. However, if the Windows Update is a Feature Update, the update will fail--until Skip_TPM is deactivated. Once you deactivate, however, then you need to execute the bypass mentioned in this thread.

One thing I don't know yet is how often you would need to execute the bypass. Possibly for every WU, but perhaps only for Feature Updates.
