Reports today that Windows11 TPM can be bypassed with Registry hack


Well, the article linked to in the first post of this thread contained those exact instructions....
My bad. After I read the OP I just followed a registry mod procedure I had previously read om another site.

As I said before, there is a simple way to clean install W11 on pc without TPM if you have HyperV.

1) Set HyperV to emulate TPM.

2) install W11 from iso in VM

3) Boot from Macrium Reflext USB Rescue Drive

4) attach VHDX created in Step 2 by clicking on command prompt and using diskpart.

5) exit command prompt and clone vhdx to internal hard drive.
It just seems a whole lot easier to adjust a couple registry entries during setup...... to me anyway (takes less than 2 minutes extra). Seems easier to also just apply the image from install.wim or install.esd manually to a partition. But I guess you do have to learn the commands.

I created a bootable disc earlier today with an ISO file for Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2 Build 22000.51 64-bit.

The pictorial guide and registry hack HERE worked fine in my Dell Precision Tower 3620.

It has a 6th generation Intel processor and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, its BIOS has TPM 2.0, and secure boot and UEFI is not being used.

When I got to this point after hacking and exiting the registry,

the blue "back" arrow button was greyed out, so it could not be clicked.

By clicking the "X" in the upper right and choosing to exit setup, that allowed the image with the "Install" button to re-appear.

The install process then begin and successfully finished.

This is information for those who have the same problem.

Just like post #16!

You could adjust boot.wim beforehand either by adding the entries to the system hive, or by merging during boot. It is quite easy.

One way is using 7-zip.

Create this folder structure anywhere e.g. on your desktop 2\windows\system32.
(The reason the parent folder is called 2 is because the files will be added to image 2 in boot.wim)

folderstructure.jpg


Pop your winpeshl.ini and SKIP.cmd files into 2\windows\system32 folder

WINPESHL.INI
Code:
[LaunchApps]
SKIP.CMD
X:\SETUP.EXE

WINPESHL.jpg

SKIP.CMD
Code:
@echo off
echo adding reg entries
reg add "HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig" /f /v "BypassTPMCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add "HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig" /f /v "BypassSecureBootCheck" /t REG_DWORD /d 1
wpeinit
>nul TIMEOUT /T 3

Unzip the 2.zip file that is attached to the bottom of this post. Unzip it to the desktop is fine.

Then add the 2 folder to boot.wim with 7-zip

Rt click the 2 folder and select Add to Archive

ADDTOARCHIVE.jpg


Select wim in the dropdown

SELECTWIMFORMAT.jpg

Browse to boot.wim

BROWSETOWIM.jpg

Click OK

OKADDTOWIM.jpg


That is it job done.


Contains these which will be automatically added.

All these instructions only work when upgrading from 10 to 11. If you try to do a clean install of Win11, it will fail.
This is my guide on how to modify the Win11 installation so that it can be installed on any PC or laptop.

This is how the installation works:
