What if I install Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 on and many other things by using Rufus on instead Supported PC?

You may ask why well because I only want one partition

Reason too being is I want a MBR partition or be able to use a older MBR partition and have only one partition sorry.

My main question is will this create any issues in the future with anything?

Anything at all.

One or more of these links may be useful:

No no talking about this.



See where it is C my Windows 11 drive (OS & Applications)

Will that prevent any windows updates or anything in the future ?

Ok thanks that helps with the two super old laptops I have with Windows 11 Pro on but not my "Supported" Windows 11 new PC I installed Windows 11 like this on. I know I know that is stupid.

Probably be fine. The MS blurb seems to indicate that maybe at some point in future ms will issue new feature that requires particular cpu functions, which won't therefore be offered to people running older machines. Whether using mbr disk will have any effect on that, we don't know.

You should be able to convert your current os disk to gpt and use efi boot if that makes you happier. The mbr2gpt will probably work from the looks of your diskmgmt.

looks like your osdisk is just one partition system, active and boot. I don't think mbr2gpt should have any difficulty with it. Though it will create new partitions on that disk.

Hmm ok.

Go for it! its what I did even though I technically have TPM. I'm running a custom Build right now of Windows 11 Pro called Phoenix lite OS. It comes with most all of the bloatware apps including Edge and Cortana completely removed. Windows Defender is disabled but can be re-enabled if desired. It has Pre-Optimized services, registry and task scheduler configurations with Telemetry completely disabled. So any unnecessary items that would normally be running eating up system resources with no user benefit are disabled. And can receive updates like a regular copy of Windows. But by default the updates are paused until 2099. and comes pre-installed with Start All back, Ultra UX Theme Patcher and Winaero Tweaker. The ISO is only about 2GB and fully installed around 4GB much lighter than a traditional install and much more efficient. The only thing it can't do that traditional Windows install can is take up a lot of space and system resource power for no reason.

Experience so far is that you will continue to receive the monthly updates but not the annual upgrades. If you wish to upgrade you will need to use an ISO to do an in place upgrade and bypass the restrictions again.

By then I always feel the need to do a fresh install anyway so I don't feel like that would be too big of an issue. and surprisingly this old machine actually meets all the requirements (barely) I just kind of choose to run on a Legacy master boot record without a the TPM system. There's really no benefit for me in using the GPT UEFI secure boot as far as I can see and I'd rather have control over my Windows startup logo then use that boring dell logo all the time.
But if I had to I'd switch back over to the secure boot

Hi,
Well if there is any future issue just restore a system image back to when there wasn't a problem turn off win updates and someone will eventually find a way to install the update without having the issue.

I leap frog over all win-11 requirements even the ones I can be compatible with so when the day comes ms desolves incompatible machines I'll be effected probably temporarily
If longer there is always 10 which I keep on separate ssd

Not really an issue with the operating system the biggest danger to this Windows setup is usually me I tend to do things most users don't but not for no reason all to gain first-hand knowledge and to learn what windows can actually handle as opposed to just what what we're told it can. so crashing this thing it's kind of a regular thing for me but my setup allows for quick recovery. I just restoring a backup disk image I take nightly so it doesn't bother me.

Hi,
Yeah there are lots of rebels so no worries

ATM I'm more interested in the crappy micro code update ms installed that has my machine 3-4c hotter.

Makes sense thanks.

Annual upgrades are not that big of a deal. I can always do them like you said.

Not like it is every week or month.
