Want a less 'long-winded' video on some even EASIER Windows 11 upgrade methods on non-supported hardware? Check out our next video. Huge thank you to the commenters that told us about them! th-cam.com/video/c83anQsMqjA/w-d-xo.html
Great tutorial just finished the whole vid and makes me want to try this on an old laptop. Any idea if you use multiple machines on the same account, would you be able to use windows 10 on one pc and win 11 on the other without any issues?
@@goshdamnitross3370 That's the spirit! If one person is inspired, making this video was worth it. Now, to your questions, if you upgrade a system from Win 10 to 11, that original key is retired and becomes a Win 11 key for one system. So, that key, cannot be used for another system again. Hopefully we interpreted that correctly 🙂
Just so you know, you don't "have to" register with a Microsoft account if you don't want to. During any of the options of the setup process, when asks for a Microsoft account, disconnect from the internet and hit F5. It will refresh to setup a local user account. However, if you want to use the store and some security features, you will have to create a Microsoft Account. I have installed Windows 11 on machines using DDR2 with an SSD using MBR, bypassing secure boot and the GPT HDD requirement. Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with an interface upgrade... that is all. So don't kid yourself that it's a "New" OS, it's not. It's just a feature update, nothing more. You just have to get rid of the crap code they added to the installation.
Hey you're a life saver! Only option that seems like it might work without data loss and still be able to give me updates. One question - I'm still getting a warning screen that says that my version is currently incompatible and I have to accept the risk of the update not working and receiving no updates from Windows. It will let me proceed, but I have to accept the risk. Am I doing something wrong, or do I just accept? First I saved the appraiserres.dll in notepad and when that didn't work, I deleted it. Something I'm missing? Thanks in advance!
Watched this video last year, applied the instructions and got win11 running on my Asus mini notebook from 2017. Works like a charm!! Thank you for the tutorial, it really works well!!
Just want to add another comment that I have used the video to successfully to upgrade a non-supported machine from Win 10 Pro to Win 11 Pro with no difficulties. I did not find the 1st video to be long winded as another person wrote, but appreciated the very thorough and clear explanation of what to expect and options to consider. I did appreciate the comment from someone to check out the 2nd video before proceeding, as it contained great time saving comments, which I did incorporate. I have used many TH-cam instructional videos over the years but find this to be two of the best! Thank you again for your help.
@@pigeonman7355 I can only tell you that I did this on April 5, 2022, on a 2018 hp Spectre Pro X360 G2 13 Laptop with an Intel Core i7-6600U processor, and it came out great with no issues as of this day. I did a clean reinstall and did not attempt to save anything. I had to download a number of hardware drivers from hp support (for Windows 10 as no Windows 11 drivers were identified for my machine), include a bios update, before everything was working. I then reinstalled my programs and copied my data back from a back-up. The laptop is great and functions as well as another laptop that I purchased with Windows 11 pre-installed. I am very pleased with the result as it is like having a new machine.
Not sure why so many "wise" comments about potentiality of not having access to system updates. If you are afraid just don't upgrade to 11. Anyway in 3 years, Microsoft will stop updating win 10. This guy just showed what is available, be polite and thank him for the effort.
This worked for me, download both windows 10 and windows 11 ISOs. Extract both using 7zip into their respective folders. Copy the install.esd from the windows 11, sources folder into the windows 10, sources folder by overwriting the version there. Run the setup from the windows 10 folder. Your install would be at full speed (no USB drive needed) and completes faster. This upgrades the existing version from 10 to 11.
I've yet to try the method outlined so I can't yet comment on the technical accuracy of the method outlined. I can however say that I wish that more Internet experts could speak and plan what they were about to say with the clarity and logical simplicity as this speaker. No "Ummm"'s, no repeating the same topics, no "Er"'s, no jumping around as though this was the very first time that the speaker was ever discussing the topic. He knew what he wanted to say and in what order; it was a thouroughly professional discourse. Also (and speaking as a non-American) it contained no trans-Atlantic slang, acronyms, terms or references ... dear God but they can be such a bore; if you plan to do something similar try to realise that not everyone in the world is familiar with the nightly vocabulary of what passes for entertainment on US TV or in US high scools. This presentation was well worth the listen.
Agreed, although this video was probably scripted and took several takes to make, all that extra behind-the-scenes work made for an overall enjoyable and easy-to-follow experience.
The method you show in this video is actually the SAME method as deleting the file. The reason is because you cannot edit a DLL with notepad. When you make these changes and save it, you corrupt the DLL so it can no longer be loaded correctly by the kernel. This results in exactly the same effect as deleting it.
Good to know! One has to wonder if future updates will scan for the existence of the file and less so the contents. As with any workaround, we go in knowing what we're getting into. Hopefully :)
That's scary...makes you wonder what these guys don't know... I code with C# as a hobby for close to twenty years and did not know that a DLL cannot be edited by Notepad (never had any reason to change a library file, but I didn't know that).
Yes, there are many ways how to edit a .dll, by using a usermode debugger like olly or xdbg, even hex workshop with raw hex editing is way way better than notepad 🤦♂️ of course u need to know assembly language 😉
7 yr old Acer laptop that had windows 7 then upgraded to 8.1 then 10 and now is at 20% of installing windows 11. I will reserve final judgement until it is totally installed and a couple weeks of use. Your video nailed it so far and was easy to follow. New sub here and thanks for the helpful video.
I brought my old i7 third generation laptop back to life, everything is working perfectly. I like Windows 11 quite well, quick to understand. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! I built a $3,500 computer for music production and animation late 2020. I had no idea then that there would be special requirements for the next Window OS so when I tried to upgrade to Win 11 a few months ago and it rejected my system, I couldn't believe it! Now I can upgrade!!!
Why would you continue to use an OS from a company that does this? People are funny. There are other options, especially in 2022. It may take some time and effort to get used to another OS but what's the worth of being free to use your $20k system without being enslaved to Microsoft (and MacOS for those that out up with that monstrosity? To each their own I guess.
You're da man!! I'm a linux user for over 15 years, but still have to work on winblows computers. This worked great on an old dell pc that my neighbor gave me without a hard drive. I had a spare 120 gb samsung ssd, and after following your video, installed flawlessly.
I thought your procedure was well thought out, delivered clearly and relatively concisely, and most importantly - it worked! Thanks for taking the time and making the effort.
I tried to replace the original dll with the dot old, Windows 10 would not let me Try to insert the new want to download it it was not let me do that either any ideas Tried to use the rename command was not available Tried to insert the downloaded dll file this is not enough space available
Brilliant my friend, thank you so muck. Worked 100% - 1st time around with absolutely no issues at all. Great instruction and step by step guidance. I put this on a 7 year old Toshiba Satelite L55W running a 2-core i5 processor. Windows 11 runs great on it; as good or better than Windows 10.
Excellent video. I manually modified the file removing anything with "TPM". There was one line with "TPN" indicating "state" with a "0" on the next line and a "1" on the next line after that; I deleted all 3 lines. It worked.
After waiting a couple of years, decided to try this workaround of yours. Windows indicated my I-7 5-year-old Intel processor wasn't up to snuff for this upgrade, plus my Dell motherboard wouldn't allow me to swap out the processor, so I came back to this video and deleted all the TPM lines, which opened up the install. So far, things are running smoothly, like with Windows 10. This restrictive hardware scheme was nothing but a scam by PC makers to squeeze more money out of consumers.
Awesome content. I have amazing specs on both my laptops and Desktops. However, for some strange reason they failed the Microsoft compatibility test. Now because of your videos, I can run Win 11 Pro with no problem. Thank you for that and you have yourself a new Subscriber. Keep the good content coming.
Thank you for posting, I went ahead and made a bootable USB installation media but followed your DLL modification tutorial and was easily able to install Windows 11 home on an HP Prodesk 600 G1 on it's original 4th gen i3 processor, and it works great, and even better after upgrading to 16 GB ram and an i7 4770. I also upgraded a 12 year old Elitebook, and my 2017 Kaby Lake (4K Netflix specific) build, which is my primary desktop.. The prodesk is going to be my Living room HTPC. I even plan on digging out my old Lattepanda V1 board and seeing if I can install it to that as well although I may need a larger memory card for storage ;)
I just want to say that I followed your instructions on my older laptop/notebook Toshiba that had Windows 10 and ...... Yes!! it worked! I now have Windows 11 on it. I want to say a big thank you for that. I really appreciate having followed you step by step. Again, Thank You!
Worked for me. Brilliant. Thank you. I found and removed all the TPM (bracketed sometimes) and only the code that was directly below them. I am sure that there are shorter ways but this was one of those not so frequent how to TH-cam videos that was easy to follow and right on the money.
Super thanks for your great work! I would add only one note here. Back when I installed 10 over 7 on my laptop I wound up with a trashed laptop. I had to start the process over, but I lost some important data. What happened was the darn laptop went to sleep in mid install. So to be on the safe side before any major install I'd be sure to go into those personalized screen settings and make sure that everything stays on...nothing takes a snooze. That's all.
I was lucky, I have a I5 eight gen, and was able to turn on TPM (PTT) in my bios. Then downloaded ISO and installed bootable with Rufus onto USB. Disabled (Ultra Fast Boot) in bios and made USB first boot option. Installed Win 11 from USB boot (deleted all partitions). After using the (I don't have a win11 key) installed and booted up to Win11 activated.Then did all latest Updates including GPU all went quick. What I really really like about win11 is the added security from the hardware TPM chip(Intel 8th Gen and up). Overall happy with win11 speed as good if not better than win10. Only negative so far is the one extra click (willing to put up with it). Recommend win11 for 8th gen and up cpu.
Thanks - got it working by taking out TPlatform and UEFI boot lines from the config script. And about 20 reboots later it works. Note: After OS installation, Win11 seems to need an internet connection before it will even boot!
Thank You so much it works on my lenovo 4th gen laptop. Windows is automatically activated using the digital license and I’m also getting updates. Windows is running smoothly too 👍🏻
Microsoft hasn't released a new version of Windows anytime in the last 25 years without it being absolutely riddled with more bugs than an ant hill. Why the hell would anybody be in any kind of rush to jump to this untried, untested, bug riddled hot mess from Microsoft?
1. Open PowerShell by using Administrator rights 2. Copy and paste Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage to the PowerShell window and press enter 3. Close the PowerShell and retry Turn on App and Browser - to remove the triagle showing
Yes this works. I used Notepad to remove lines that had TMP. Then I selected no update check on installer and no checkmark on "make installation easy". I am able to proceed. IMPORTANT: prior to this workaround, if you had edited (added) new entries to registry, remove them. I hope this helps. Thank you GCM.
Just wanted to say Thank You for this Video I followed your instructions edited the code by hand with notepad and now i have windows 11 running on my AMD FX 8370 machine with no issues at all. 🙂
I had upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10 home. After about 1 1/2 months it killed my SSD hard drive and made it unrecognizable within my pc in the bios. I would not recommend using windows 11 unless you have the equipment up to par. When I say up to par I mean all your components from motherboard, gpu, cpu, etc. Windows 11 is a great layout and I enjoyed the accessibility it had especially being able to have multiple windows in different orientations or layouts and the update of the start menu being centered and having all the most frequently used apps quickly accessible. Keep in mind I have a gaming pc. It’s not super expensive but it handles games well such as Diablo 2 resurrection, MW 2.0 , and Elden ring. Motherboard: Tuf gaming B450m plus Gtx 1650 512 SSD Ryzen 5 And it still messed up my SSD. My point is have better components before you move forward
As a computer tech of over 30 years and having beta tested and used the final release of every Windows OS since Windows 3.1, I can tell everyone that Windows 11 is the same gimmick as always. Everyone trying to use Windows 11 is just like when everyone rushed to get Windows ME, Windows Vista and Windows 8/8.1. After about a year everyone realized how junky those OS's were. It's history repeated. Whether the OS runs stable or not, it is a garbage concept. The most solid Windows OS's are: Windows 95/98 Windows XP Windows 7 Windows 10 (Non NT based Windows listed)
That what people said when windows 10 was released and Especially Vista. Give Windows 11 a try it doesn't hurt to give a chance. Stop fucking whining and crying.
The situation now is different they already put new hardware called TPM.. sooner or later windows 10 will be obsolete so if we can do upgrade to our old laptop to windows 11 even without TPM just do it .So far this tutorial is the simplest one an work perfectly.. just login you're Microsoft account n upgrade you're current windows to latest updates before upgrading to windows 11.. the updates is still supported
One thing I am wondering, when Microsoft say that if you choose to upgrade it when the processor isn't supported, they also say that you can't install any further updates and as such, it won't be protected. It will be interesting to see what happens to all the computers/laptops that are upgraded this way. :)
you're trying to get 'non-compliant' PCs to accept windows 11, while i'm trying my best to prevent microsoft from updating my windows 10 to 11. bizarre.
Editing a DLL with Notepad, love it Frequently freaked out new CS grads opening any file in Notepad. With a pure Windows / Click based background it's such a surprise to them
I have to comment. I looked at both your video and the other one you talked about. Following that other video I was not able to complete it, he did a lot of mount and unmount, very confusing. I followed your way, it worked fine, modifying a DLL and saving was fine with your method, thank you for posting. Your a good teacher
Microsoft released a work around itself that involves a change to the registry. I downloaded 11 and made a usb installer. However, I am going to stick with 10 for the moment.
Windows 11 can be install easily using Rufus, a tool which let you make bootable USB drives. It has the option to download, remove the requirement stuff and make the usb all without having to deal with anything else. That I feel is much faster and easier for normal users.
I decided to just back everything up (drivers through command line), and do a fresh install with Rufus on a 32GB HP laptop. My device is painfully slow with Windows 11, but legit. Make sure to copy your Activation Key. I also did the same with an Dell Inspiron N5010, and my Windows 7 Activation Key worked to my surprise.
Here is yet another method. This even works on my i9 27" iMac to create an external Windows 11 Boot. 1. Make both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 Install USB using the Win 10 and Win 11 Media Creators. 2. Drag the install.esd file from the sources folder on the Win10 Install USB out of the folder or renamewith .bak. 3. Copy the install.esd file from the Win 11 Install USB from its sources folder into the sources folder on the Win10 USB install USB 4. Prepare a volume for installation if not using the existing boot volume by initializing as NTFS. 5. Boot to the modified Win10 Install USB and proceed as normal. Remember you will need to select Delete on the blank NTFS volume at the selection of volume window before installation will be allowed. Be careful to select the correct volume! If no product key simply select 'No Product Key' and you may install a trial mode version of any version, Pro, Home etc. It took longer to type this that to actually do most of this.
No, its a CURSE. Which is what you will be doing in 6 months after the first update cripples your computer and arbitrarily deletes any unlicensed and unMicroshaft software. Here, I'll say it now. I TOLD YOU SO!
From reading the comments below, I think I must have been exceptionally lucky. For starters I am a relative novice but followed the instructions as provided in video on my 4 year old non Intel (AMD Ryzen 7 2700U) Dell. All went smoothly (I had fully backed up incase of disasters) and the box migrated to Win 11. I was expecting not to receive updates but have been receiving regular Win 11 updates (at least 1 or more a week). The only problem I have is adjusting to the Win 11 settings and locations of Setup functions. The box has been ticking over for the past few weeks and although I only use for short bursts, it is my primary box (have also an old Toshiba i5 Win 10 and a UBUNTU Linux box) but to date (fingers crossed) have experience no unexplained issues.
thanks so much for this I was wondering how I was going to get around the TPM issue, I turned on TH-cam to look at some other info and low and behold your Video popped up, I followed the instruction and I am happy to say I now have Windows 11 Pro on my computer, thanks again for this amazing tutorial
Microsoft may have shot themselves in the foot with this one, we run many sites with expensive hardware, they are around 4-5 years old and we paid a fortune for these 12-16 cores / 128GB RAM machines, and because they only support TPM 1.2 so while they can run everything, Windows 11 is not fully supported, we can use this method to bypass the restriction but have no faith in Microsoft not to move the goal post even further, so between now and 2025 we are starting to migrate them to Ubuntu or others, their wet dreams with TPM may be a valid reason but it should be an option other than forced.
The crazy thing is that I have the most current generation motherboard, CPU, video card, and 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM, but my PC is not able to upgrade to windows 11. I know it's a missing TPM module issue, but still, it's ridiculous that a computer less than a year old can't run the latest Windows OS as is.
Didn’t Microsoft say that unsupported machines running win 11 won’t get windows updates. Thats kind of a deal breaker for me. Otherwise I’d have updated on my unsupported computer.
Me too. I tried to install Windows 11 with the registry hack and the same warning popped up. No updates will occur if I continued to install. Windows 10 is fine though.
The problem is, many of the people I've heard from who've upgraded to 11 now wish they hadn't. There's apparently significant functionally that was removed from Win11 that people actually used and miss after upgrading. That's a huge faux pas on Microsoft's part.
Thank you! I tried the shorter winded work arounds and it didn’t work around. I came back to this work around and now I’m on my way to installing Windows 11 on my older but good work computer!
Dont use windows 11...cant drop file in other tabs...so hard to do work without that feature...now either i use alt + tab or get another screen to do it or minimize app to drag drop file...
Not really my field of expertise but have watched this and appreciated it. It seems to me that having done the compatibility test Windows could have gone ahead and used an alternate file like the one you created on incompatible ones. I can only imagine that they didn't because they have future updates planned that will fail in the absence of the gizmo being tested for. It's less pain to annoy people now by not letting them install the new version, rather than have them baying for blood after a future update turned into a disaster for millions.
I think all of you who will try to do this are missing the point. It is not about "can you install it" it is about how user experience will be, especially with future updates. I would not bother at all, and would not install windows on PCs officially not supported by Windows 11. Who cares anyway and most of us will buy some kind of newer PC in next 5 years. worthless effort in my opinion, though thx for effort to make this video, appreciated the sharing and thumbs up, though not happy with mind set "look I have windows 11 on crap PC" I do not see the point in that.
Great info but as one other blogger pointed out this is a conspiracy between MS and the major hardware makers such as Dell to get you to buy new laptops and desktops every few years when a 7 year old device works just fine with win 10 or 7. If MS was honest they would create a version for older devices without the TPM and other support. I am also sick of MS trying to force it's users to do everything their way. They have become like Apple in recent times.
This is some of the worst advice I've seen in a long time. 1:06 #3 is wrong. You only need the product key, not a Microsoft account since it really won't matter if you're installing windows that has no interrent. There are many apps you can use (and commands you can use in the command line) to see what your product key is. Other than that you can buy a new product key for under $20. 3:27 So you get a CPU compatibility message, but you edit a .DLL file (which is an executable) and only remove the checks for TPM, and that somehow allows the installer to ignore the CPU check? You know there's easier ways to get around all of these bogus restrictions Microsoft put into Windows 11, without editing anything. 10:19 A Product key is entirely unnecessary to install windows, as you CAN skip it when it prompts you for it, and again you don't need to be signed into your MS account to do an upgrade. It's entirely safe and LEGAL to install windows unactivated and use it. Besides it will automatically activate it self, since it's a laptop. All OEM motherboards are ALREADY registered and linked to a product key at Microsoft even if you do a clean "nuclear option" install. Assuming the key isn't for a really old version of Windows (like Vista). Soon Windows 7 and 8 product keys will no longer upgrade to Windows 11. 10:52 The proper "nuclear option" is to reboot the PC to the USB drive, delete all partitions of the primary drive, and then install Windows. I'm not even sure why you bothered to make the USB/media creation tool when you never booted to that USB drive. You can do everything you just did by running the installer from the media creation tool app without it creating the USB drive, the ENTIRE POINT of making that USB drive is so you can boot to it. If you had ran the installer from your downloads folder it would install A LOT faster than it would installing it from a slow USB 2.0 drive.
Thank you for your perfect explanation for installing Windows 11, pro in my case. I did it with the Media Creation Tool, changing the TPM. After normaly logging in on my PC using that the Microsoft account. Thank you very much. Greetings from Belgium
Saved. However, I am sceptical about Windows Upgrades. I was quite happy with XP TBH. Subsequent "improvement"s seem to involve processor-heavy frills that Joe Average like me doesn't need for just email, googling, Yousomething, playing music and emailing. It's different maybe if you are actually using your computer AS a COMPUTER, doing processor-heavy stuff, crunching bulk numbers, but who needs infinite interoperability between all windows applications, annoying software that is always panting to "help" intrusive requests for access to your mother's underwear drawer and all your friends' details?
The question is: Why do you want Windows 11? There is nothing in it that I need. Not one single thing. I only have 10 because 7 is not supported anymore.
@@alnothere The same reason I don't use 7 anymore. Although technically I do, just on a computer that isn't connected to the internet. If getting every game working on Linux weren't such a chore I'd probably ditch Windows completely.
I followed your instructions for my 10 year old Lenovo Thinkpad. Worked great. I use Google Chrome, Edge, Microsoft Word and Excel. So, as a non-power user I don't find any additional functions in Windows 11 any benefit to me. But, thanks for the great video.
For some reason it didn't ask me about any options to install it just went straight and started installing. Let's see how it goes. Well is working perfectly thanks God. I'm not computer illiterate, but this tutorials are super helpful. This tutorial was the easiest. I did that tpm erasing manually and they were less than 10 so problem.
I tried this it works thankyou I got it installed on my cq56 Compaq Presario it runs great I install windows 10 to do this then downloaded windows 11 then edit the file it works
Yes, you can certainly install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware but you will not get security updates at all. It's too buggy to "upgrade" until you absolutely have to do so. I'll stick to Win 10 until it's no longer supported.
worked great, used the dll file from tips2fix , with one exeception, had to turn off internet connection, so that win 11 updates did not overide the local media installation, had i not done that, the tpm/processor/secure boot check would have continued
As of 12-18-2021, replacing or changing that .DLL file no longer works. Get "TPM 2.0 unsupported" error when attempting the upgrade. Even tried making the modified version READ-ONLY. Still won't work.
Something must have changed. Did you try any of the methods from the newer video we made with two more methods? th-cam.com/video/c83anQsMqjA/w-d-xo.html
Easiest way would be to download the iso file Mount it And make a folder anywhere where you can copy the contents Then simply go to sources folder and delete the file he's talking about. After that simply run the set-up and you'll be good to go
Good tutorial. You have nice, easy instructions. You have a calming, pleasing voice with nice, gentle background music. I did dual boot to compare the two Windows versions.
Until windows 10 stops working altogether, I see no reason to upgrade. I have a new win11 laptop and an older win10 laptop. For my everyday uses I can't see what the win11 upgrade does for me except move everything around and confuse me.
I have to ask, why would anyone subject themselves to the torture that is Windows 11, especially if their hardware is artificially not supported? WHY? Is Windows 10 not enough for you guys? What compels one to en-devour into ad driven scam like mess that is latest MS development?
The question remains: Will you keep getting Windows 11 updates in the future. If not, you're screwed... hopefully a downgrade to Windows 10 will still work then.

@@goshdamnitross3370 That's the spirit! If one person is inspired, making this video was worth it. Now, to your questions, if you upgrade a system from Win 10 to 11, that original key is retired and becomes a Win 11 key for one system. So, that key, cannot be used for another system again. Hopefully we interpreted that correctly 🙂

Watched this video last year, applied the instructions and got win11 running on my Asus mini notebook from 2017. Works like a charm!!
Thank you for the tutorial, it really works well!!
Great to hear!
Thanks. It worked perfectly. I have upgraded to Windows 11 on one machine that had been called "Not Compatible" i9-9900k , Gigabyte z390 mobo.
I had my doubts but it worked like a charm! It saved me from buying a whole new computer. And I'm getting updates! Thank you!
Just want to add another comment that I have used the video to successfully to upgrade a non-supported machine from Win 10 Pro to Win 11 Pro with no difficulties. I did not find the 1st video to be long winded as another person wrote, but appreciated the very thorough and clear explanation of what to expect and options to consider. I did appreciate the comment from someone to check out the 2nd video before proceeding, as it contained great time saving comments, which I did incorporate. I have used many TH-cam instructional videos over the years but find this to be two of the best! Thank you again for your help.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Hey! Is it Safe? Im tempted to do this but idk about how safe this is.
@@pigeonman7355 I can only tell you that I did this on April 5, 2022, on a 2018 hp Spectre Pro X360 G2 13 Laptop with an Intel Core i7-6600U processor, and it came out great with no issues as of this day. I did a clean reinstall and did not attempt to save anything. I had to download a number of hardware drivers from hp support (for Windows 10 as no Windows 11 drivers were identified for my machine), include a bios update, before everything was working. I then reinstalled my programs and copied my data back from a back-up. The laptop is great and functions as well as another laptop that I purchased with Windows 11 pre-installed. I am very pleased with the result as it is like having a new machine.
Not sure why so many "wise" comments about potentiality of not having access to system updates. If you are afraid just don't upgrade to 11. Anyway in 3 years, Microsoft will stop updating win 10.
This guy just showed what is available, be polite and thank him for the effort.
This worked for me, download both windows 10 and windows 11 ISOs. Extract both using 7zip into their respective folders. Copy the install.esd from the windows 11, sources folder into the windows 10, sources folder by overwriting the version there. Run the setup from the windows 10 folder. Your install would be at full speed (no USB drive needed) and completes faster. This upgrades the existing version from 10 to 11.
I've yet to try the method outlined so I can't yet comment on the technical accuracy of the method outlined. I can however say that I wish that more Internet experts could speak and plan what they were about to say with the clarity and logical simplicity as this speaker. No "Ummm"'s, no repeating the same topics, no "Er"'s, no jumping around as though this was the very first time that the speaker was ever discussing the topic. He knew what he wanted to say and in what order; it was a thouroughly professional discourse. Also (and speaking as a non-American) it contained no trans-Atlantic slang, acronyms, terms or references ... dear God but they can be such a bore; if you plan to do something similar try to realise that not everyone in the world is familiar with the nightly vocabulary of what passes for entertainment on US TV or in US high scools. This presentation was well worth the listen.
Agreed, although this video was probably scripted and took several takes to make, all that extra behind-the-scenes work made for an overall enjoyable and easy-to-follow experience.
The method you show in this video is actually the SAME method as deleting the file. The reason is because you cannot edit a DLL with notepad. When you make these changes and save it, you corrupt the DLL so it can no longer be loaded correctly by the kernel. This results in exactly the same effect as deleting it.
Good to know! One has to wonder if future updates will scan for the existence of the file and less so the contents. As with any workaround, we go in knowing what we're getting into. Hopefully :)
That's scary...makes you wonder what these guys don't know... I code with C# as a hobby for close to twenty years and did not know that a DLL cannot be edited by Notepad (never had any reason to change a library file, but I didn't know that).
Yes, there are many ways how to edit a .dll, by using a usermode debugger like olly or xdbg, even hex workshop with raw hex editing is way way better than notepad 🤦♂️ of course u need to know assembly language 😉
@@ntallocatevirtualmemory8488 That's one thing I never studied, assembly language, though I'd like to.
@@ntallocatevirtualmemory8488 Yes, however in this case the dll is digitally signed so any editing at all will render it unloadable.
7 yr old Acer laptop that had windows 7 then upgraded to 8.1 then 10 and now is at 20% of installing windows 11. I will reserve final judgement until it is totally installed and a couple weeks of use. Your video nailed it so far and was easy to follow. New sub here and thanks for the helpful video.
I brought my old i7 third generation laptop back to life, everything is working perfectly. I like Windows 11 quite well, quick to understand. Thank you.
If you have an unsupported PC just stay with Windows 10 and be happy that the update will not be forced on you.
Thank you so much for this! I built a $3,500 computer for music production and animation late 2020. I had no idea then that there would be special requirements for the next Window OS so when I tried to upgrade to Win 11 a few months ago and it rejected my system, I couldn't believe it! Now I can upgrade!!!
Why would you continue to use an OS from a company that does this? People are funny. There are other options, especially in 2022. It may take some time and effort to get used to another OS but what's the worth of being free to use your $20k system without being enslaved to Microsoft (and MacOS for those that out up with that monstrosity? To each their own I guess.
@@deandownsouth that's just how marketing works, comes and goes
Were you able to receive security updates after installing Windows 11 on your unsupported PC?
@@finegamingconnoisseur i can get all the updates
It worked perfectly for me. Using it right now and all my apps are present. Many thanks sir!
Followed your instructions and I installed Win11 on 4790k PC with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Thank you!
You're da man!! I'm a linux user for over 15 years, but still have to work on winblows computers. This worked great on an old dell pc that my neighbor gave me without a hard drive. I had a spare 120 gb samsung ssd, and after following your video, installed flawlessly.
Great to hear!
nothing like working on winblows computers am i right?
I thought your procedure was well thought out, delivered clearly and relatively concisely, and most importantly - it worked! Thanks for taking the time and making the effort.
You're very welcome!
I tried to replace the original dll with the dot old, Windows 10 would not let me
Try to insert the new want to download it it was not let me do that either any ideas
Tried to use the rename command was not available
Tried to insert the downloaded dll file this is not enough space available
Brilliant my friend, thank you so muck. Worked 100% - 1st time around with absolutely no issues at all. Great instruction and step by step guidance. I put this on a 7 year old Toshiba Satelite L55W running a 2-core i5 processor. Windows 11 runs great on it; as good or better than Windows 10.
All I can say is THANK YOU for this information now I have window 11 on my AMD FX 8350 gaming PC that was unsupported by Microsoft
I wanted to let you know that I followed you steps and I have completed a NEW install of Windows 11!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You're welcome!
Is your installation activated? Does MS Updates Work?
Excellent video. I manually modified the file removing anything with "TPM". There was one line with "TPN" indicating "state" with a "0" on the next line and a "1" on the next line after that; I deleted all 3 lines. It worked.
After waiting a couple of years, decided to try this workaround of yours. Windows indicated my I-7 5-year-old Intel processor wasn't up to snuff for this upgrade, plus my Dell motherboard wouldn't allow me to swap out the processor, so I came back to this video and deleted all the TPM lines, which opened up the install. So far, things are running smoothly, like with Windows 10. This restrictive hardware scheme was nothing but a scam by PC makers to squeeze more money out of consumers.
Awesome content. I have amazing specs on both my laptops and Desktops. However, for some strange reason they failed the Microsoft compatibility test. Now because of your videos, I can run Win 11 Pro with no problem. Thank you for that and you have yourself a new Subscriber. Keep the good content coming.
Thank you for posting, I went ahead and made a bootable USB installation media but followed your DLL modification tutorial and was easily able to install Windows 11 home on an HP Prodesk 600 G1 on it's original 4th gen i3 processor, and it works great, and even better after upgrading to 16 GB ram and an i7 4770. I also upgraded a 12 year old Elitebook, and my 2017 Kaby Lake (4K Netflix specific) build, which is my primary desktop.. The prodesk is going to be my Living room HTPC. I even plan on digging out my old Lattepanda V1 board and seeing if I can install it to that as well although I may need a larger memory card for storage ;)
I just want to say that I followed your instructions on my older laptop/notebook Toshiba that had Windows 10 and ...... Yes!! it worked! I now have Windows 11 on it. I want to say a big thank you for that. I really appreciate having followed you step by step. Again, Thank You!
Are you getting updates
@@AKHILESHKUMAR-fg7gw No, so far since installation, no updates. And that after 2 months.
@@FriesianKiwi66 I will not bypass
But upgrade my pc👍🏻👍🏻
Worked for me. Brilliant. Thank you. I found and removed all the TPM (bracketed sometimes) and only the code that was directly below them. I am sure that there are shorter ways but this was one of those not so frequent how to TH-cam videos that was easy to follow and right on the money.
Here's my workaround:
Step 1: Install Linux.
And done!
Super thanks for your great work! I would add only one note here. Back when I installed 10 over 7 on my laptop I wound up with a trashed laptop. I had to start the process over, but I lost some important data. What happened was the darn laptop went to sleep in mid install. So to be on the safe side before any major install I'd be sure to go into those personalized screen settings and make sure that everything stays on...nothing takes a snooze. That's all.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I was lucky, I have a I5 eight gen, and was able to turn on TPM (PTT) in my bios. Then downloaded ISO and installed bootable with Rufus onto USB. Disabled (Ultra Fast Boot) in bios and made USB first boot option. Installed Win 11 from USB boot (deleted all partitions). After using the (I don't have a win11 key) installed and booted up to Win11 activated.Then did all latest Updates including GPU all went quick. What I really really like about win11 is the added security from the hardware TPM chip(Intel 8th Gen and up). Overall happy with win11 speed as good if not better than win10. Only negative so far is the one extra click (willing to put up with it). Recommend win11 for 8th gen and up cpu.
Thanks - got it working by taking out TPlatform and UEFI boot lines from the config script. And about 20 reboots later it works. Note: After OS installation, Win11 seems to need an internet connection before it will even boot!
Thanks for sharing! What kind of system did you run it on? The info might help someone else down the road.

Wow.... thats a great news..
I have i7 4770k, will it take big performance hit? I upgraded on my Laptop with Ryzen 4500u and it is laggy now …
Yes this works. I used Notepad to remove lines that had TMP. Then I selected no update check on installer and no checkmark on "make installation easy". I am able to proceed. IMPORTANT: prior to this workaround, if you had edited (added) new entries to registry, remove them. I hope this helps. Thank you GCM.
Just wanted to say Thank You for this Video I followed your instructions edited the code by hand with notepad and now i have windows 11 running on my AMD FX 8370 machine with no issues at all. 🙂
Glad it helped!
I had upgraded to windows 11 from windows 10 home. After about 1 1/2 months it killed my SSD hard drive and made it unrecognizable within my pc in the bios. I would not recommend using windows 11 unless you have the equipment up to par. When I say up to par I mean all your components from motherboard, gpu, cpu, etc.
Windows 11 is a great layout and I enjoyed the accessibility it had especially being able to have multiple windows in different orientations or layouts and the update of the start menu being centered and having all the most frequently used apps quickly accessible.
Keep in mind I have a gaming pc. It’s not super expensive but it handles games well such as Diablo 2 resurrection, MW 2.0 , and Elden ring.
Motherboard: Tuf gaming B450m plus
Gtx 1650
512 SSD

And it still messed up my SSD. My point is have better components before you move forward

Big faaaaat LIE
Windows 10 is great and stable why upgrade ?
As a computer tech of over 30 years and having beta tested and used the final release of every Windows OS since Windows 3.1, I can tell everyone that Windows 11 is the same gimmick as always.
Everyone trying to use Windows 11 is just like when everyone rushed to get Windows ME, Windows Vista and Windows 8/8.1.
After about a year everyone realized how junky those OS's were. It's history repeated. Whether the OS runs stable or not, it is a garbage concept. The most solid Windows OS's are:
Windows 95/98
Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows 10
(Non NT based Windows listed)
That what people said when windows 10 was released and Especially Vista. Give Windows 11 a try it doesn't hurt to give a chance. Stop fucking whining and crying.
The situation now is different they already put new hardware called TPM.. sooner or later windows 10 will be obsolete so if we can do upgrade to our old laptop to windows 11 even without TPM just do it .So far this tutorial is the simplest one an work perfectly.. just login you're Microsoft account n upgrade you're current windows to latest updates before upgrading to windows 11.. the updates is still supported
I couldn't agree more. every good windows always skipped a version
@@jgriff3004 Let's call it an acceptable windows because there never was a good windows.
This is the best clearest simplest tutorial on TH-cam
I've been trying for months to get Windows 11 on my old Dell Latitude and nothing worked but your method worked like a charm. Thank you.
One thing I am wondering, when Microsoft say that if you choose to upgrade it when the processor isn't supported, they also say that you can't install any further updates and as such, it won't be protected.
It will be interesting to see what happens to all the computers/laptops that are upgraded this way. :)
Does it get windows 11 updates going forward? If not, better to stick with windows 10 for another 3 years.
you're trying to get 'non-compliant' PCs to accept windows 11, while i'm trying my best to prevent microsoft from updating my windows 10 to 11.
bizarre.
Editing a DLL with Notepad, love it
Frequently freaked out new CS grads opening any file in Notepad. With a pure Windows / Click based background it's such a surprise to them
I have to comment. I looked at both your video and the other one you talked about. Following that other video I was not able to complete it, he did a lot of mount and unmount, very confusing. I followed your way, it worked fine, modifying a DLL and saving was fine with your method, thank you for posting. Your a good teacher
You know, just because you can, doesn't mean you should :)
Microsoft released a work around itself that involves a change to the registry. I downloaded 11 and made a usb installer. However, I am going to stick with 10 for the moment.
Windows 11 can be install easily using Rufus, a tool which let you make bootable USB drives. It has the option to download, remove the requirement stuff and make the usb all without having to deal with anything else. That I feel is much faster and easier for normal users.
We've been hearing the Rufus install is pretty streamlined. Might have to give that a try at some point.
Worked like a champ.. Win 11 was installing within minutes. Thank you..
I decided to just back everything up (drivers through command line), and do a fresh install with Rufus on a 32GB HP laptop. My device is painfully slow with Windows 11, but legit. Make sure to copy your Activation Key.
I also did the same with an Dell Inspiron N5010, and my Windows 7 Activation Key worked to my surprise.
How to remove ads in the windows explorer I never imagined it would come to this day
Here is yet another method. This even works on my i9 27" iMac to create an external Windows 11 Boot.
1. Make both a Windows 10 and Windows 11 Install USB using the Win 10 and Win 11 Media Creators.
2. Drag the install.esd file from the sources folder on the Win10 Install USB out of the folder or renamewith .bak.
3. Copy the install.esd file from the Win 11 Install USB from its sources folder into the sources folder on the Win10 USB install USB
4. Prepare a volume for installation if not using the existing boot volume by initializing as NTFS.
5. Boot to the modified Win10 Install USB and proceed as normal.
Remember you will need to select Delete on the blank NTFS volume at the selection of volume window before installation will be allowed. Be careful to select the correct volume!
If no product key simply select 'No Product Key' and you may install a trial mode version of any version, Pro, Home etc.
It took longer to type this that to actually do most of this.
Being unable to upgrade to Windows 11 is a blessing.
No, its a CURSE. Which is what you will be doing in 6 months after the first update cripples your computer and arbitrarily deletes any unlicensed and unMicroshaft software. Here, I'll say it now. I TOLD YOU SO!
Yo he said UNABLE
I can't update to Windows 11. It says my Surface Book 2 is compatible, but Windows 11 is not available yet. :/

From reading the comments below, I think I must have been exceptionally lucky. For starters I am a relative novice but followed the instructions as provided in video on my 4 year old non Intel (AMD Ryzen 7 2700U) Dell. All went smoothly (I had fully backed up incase of disasters) and the box migrated to Win 11. I was expecting not to receive updates but have been receiving regular Win 11 updates (at least 1 or more a week). The only problem I have is adjusting to the Win 11 settings and locations of Setup functions. The box has been ticking over for the past few weeks and although I only use for short bursts, it is my primary box (have also an old Toshiba i5 Win 10 and a UBUNTU Linux box) but to date (fingers crossed) have experience no unexplained issues.
thanks so much for this I was wondering how I was going to get around the TPM issue, I turned on TH-cam to look at some other info and low and behold your Video popped up, I followed the instruction and I am happy to say I now have Windows 11 Pro on my computer, thanks again for this amazing tutorial
Oh my goodness, thank you soo much. I tried all day yesterday and researched. Your video saved me soo much time.
Glad it helped!
Microsoft may have shot themselves in the foot with this one, we run many sites with expensive hardware, they are around 4-5 years old and we paid a fortune for these 12-16 cores / 128GB RAM machines, and because they only support TPM 1.2 so while they can run everything, Windows 11 is not fully supported, we can use this method to bypass the restriction but have no faith in Microsoft not to move the goal post even further, so between now and 2025 we are starting to migrate them to Ubuntu or others, their wet dreams with TPM may be a valid reason but it should be an option other than forced.
OK, the install worked. What happens when you try to do updates?
Wow! Working for me on a Pentium T4200 - (64 bit) Dated 2009. Earned my subscription and 👍. Thank You!
Thanks for the sub!
This actually worked for me!
I've tried a couple of videos but this is the only one that worked.
Thanks man.
The crazy thing is that I have the most current generation motherboard, CPU, video card, and 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM, but my PC is not able to upgrade to windows 11. I know it's a missing TPM module issue, but still, it's ridiculous that a computer less than a year old can't run the latest Windows OS as is.
If you have a current generation motherboard you can just enable tpm in windows.
Didn’t Microsoft say that unsupported machines running win 11 won’t get windows updates. Thats kind of a deal breaker for me. Otherwise I’d have updated on my unsupported computer.
Me too. I tried to install Windows 11 with the registry hack and the same warning popped up. No updates will occur if I continued to install. Windows 10 is fine though.
The problem is, many of the people I've heard from who've upgraded to 11 now wish they hadn't. There's apparently significant functionally that was removed from Win11 that people actually used and miss after upgrading. That's a huge faux pas on Microsoft's part.
Thank you! I tried the shorter winded work arounds and it didn’t work around. I came back to this work around and now I’m on my way to installing Windows 11 on my older but good work computer!
I have tried multiple work arounds , but yours was the first that worked. Thanks very much!
I am staying on Windows 10 until windows 12 by then I will just buy a new computer.
Word of warning, Outlook 2013 will stop working, it’s not compatible. Not sure about the rest of the Office apps.
Dont use windows 11...cant drop file in other tabs...so hard to do work without that feature...now either i use alt + tab or get another screen to do it or minimize app to drag drop file...
My desktop computer was custom built to a high spec but wont run windows 11 so im quite happy to stick with 10 thank you.
Not really my field of expertise but have watched this and appreciated it. It seems to me that having done the compatibility test Windows could have gone ahead and used an alternate file like the one you created on incompatible ones. I can only imagine that they didn't because they have future updates planned that will fail in the absence of the gizmo being tested for. It's less pain to annoy people now by not letting them install the new version, rather than have them baying for blood after a future update turned into a disaster for millions.
I think all of you who will try to do this are missing the point. It is not about "can you install it" it is about how user experience will be, especially with future updates. I would not bother at all, and would not install windows on PCs officially not supported by Windows 11. Who cares anyway and most of us will buy some kind of newer PC in next 5 years. worthless effort in my opinion, though thx for effort to make this video, appreciated the sharing and thumbs up, though not happy with mind set "look I have windows 11 on crap PC" I do not see the point in that.
That and Windows 11 is pointless crap, certainly at the moment anyway.
Great info but as one other blogger pointed out this is a conspiracy between MS and the major hardware makers such as Dell to get you to buy new laptops and desktops every few years when a 7 year old device works just fine with win 10 or 7. If MS was honest they would create a version for older devices without the TPM and other support. I am also sick of MS trying to force it's users to do everything their way. They have become like Apple in recent times.
No, when a five year old device works just fine with Win 10 🤨
This is some of the worst advice I've seen in a long time.
1:06 #3 is wrong. You only need the product key, not a Microsoft account since it really won't matter if you're installing windows that has no interrent. There are many apps you can use (and commands you can use in the command line) to see what your product key is. Other than that you can buy a new product key for under $20.
3:27 So you get a CPU compatibility message, but you edit a .DLL file (which is an executable) and only remove the checks for TPM, and that somehow allows the installer to ignore the CPU check? You know there's easier ways to get around all of these bogus restrictions Microsoft put into Windows 11, without editing anything.
10:19 A Product key is entirely unnecessary to install windows, as you CAN skip it when it prompts you for it, and again you don't need to be signed into your MS account to do an upgrade. It's entirely safe and LEGAL to install windows unactivated and use it. Besides it will automatically activate it self, since it's a laptop. All OEM motherboards are ALREADY registered and linked to a product key at Microsoft even if you do a clean "nuclear option" install. Assuming the key isn't for a really old version of Windows (like Vista). Soon Windows 7 and 8 product keys will no longer upgrade to Windows 11.
10:52 The proper "nuclear option" is to reboot the PC to the USB drive, delete all partitions of the primary drive, and then install Windows. I'm not even sure why you bothered to make the USB/media creation tool when you never booted to that USB drive. You can do everything you just did by running the installer from the media creation tool app without it creating the USB drive, the ENTIRE POINT of making that USB drive is so you can boot to it. If you had ran the installer from your downloads folder it would install A LOT faster than it would installing it from a slow USB 2.0 drive.
Thanks for the great video. It worked for me and now I’m running W11 on my 2015 iMac. Must say, for all the effort-I am really-really-underwhelmed.
Thank you for your perfect explanation for installing Windows 11, pro in my case. I did it with the Media Creation Tool, changing the TPM. After normaly logging in on my PC using that the Microsoft account. Thank you very much. Greetings from Belgium
You're welcome!
Saved. However, I am sceptical about Windows Upgrades. I was quite happy with XP TBH. Subsequent "improvement"s seem to involve processor-heavy frills that Joe Average like me doesn't need for just email, googling, Yousomething, playing music and emailing. It's different maybe if you are actually using your computer AS a COMPUTER, doing processor-heavy stuff, crunching bulk numbers, but who needs infinite interoperability between all windows applications, annoying software that is always panting to "help" intrusive requests for access to your mother's underwear drawer and all your friends' details?
The question is: Why do you want Windows 11? There is nothing in it that I need. Not one single thing. I only have 10 because 7 is not supported anymore.
why dont you use windows 98, or even 3.1x?
@@alnothere The same reason I don't use 7 anymore. Although technically I do, just on a computer that isn't connected to the internet. If getting every game working on Linux weren't such a chore I'd probably ditch Windows completely.
My pc is only just recovering from Windows 10 install, why on earth would I want Windows 11?
Thank you for this information. Worked brilliantly and windows 11 is running well on my 2013 desktop.
I followed your instructions for my 10 year old Lenovo Thinkpad. Worked great. I use Google Chrome, Edge, Microsoft Word and Excel. So, as a non-power user I don't find any additional functions in Windows 11 any benefit to me. But, thanks for the great video.
Glad it helped!
My PC also failed because of missing safeboot in the compatibility test, but no mention of that here.
Im happy with windows 10 it working fine
But Windows 10 was the last operating system I would ever need. It was a critical point in all of Microsoft’s marketing.
No, it wasn’t so quit lying about it.
It works exactly as seen,now I got win 11 installed,thanks
For some reason it didn't ask me about any options to install it just went straight and started installing. Let's see how it goes. Well is working perfectly thanks God. I'm not computer illiterate, but this tutorials are super helpful. This tutorial was the easiest. I did that tpm erasing manually and they were less than 10 so problem.
A very big if - will this method get all security updates as soon as they are released?
The things is, it may work today but will it also work tomorrow?
Will this upgrade method allow you to receive security and other updates?
I tried this it works thankyou I got it installed on my cq56 Compaq Presario it runs great I install windows 10 to do this then downloaded windows 11 then edit the file it works
Watched both videos in this series!
It was a success for me with an "incompatible" Intel Core i7-6000T series CPU, so thanks!
Yes, you can certainly install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware but you will not get security updates at all.
It's too buggy to "upgrade" until you absolutely have to do so. I'll stick to Win 10 until it's no longer supported.
I run win 11 on unsupported hard ware I get security updates
worked great, used the dll file from tips2fix , with one exeception, had to turn off internet connection, so that win 11 updates did not overide the local media installation, had i not done that, the tpm/processor/secure boot check would have continued
That was not necessary if you delete all the tpm files and then saved the change, because I have done it and it works!
As of 12-18-2021, replacing or changing that .DLL file no longer works. Get "TPM 2.0 unsupported" error when attempting the upgrade. Even tried making the modified version READ-ONLY. Still won't work.
Something must have changed. Did you try any of the methods from the newer video we made with two more methods? th-cam.com/video/c83anQsMqjA/w-d-xo.html
Easiest way would be to download the iso file
Mount it
And make a folder anywhere where you can copy the contents
Then simply go to sources folder and delete the file he's talking about.
After that simply run the set-up and you'll be good to go
Good tutorial. You have nice, easy instructions. You have a calming, pleasing voice with nice, gentle background music. I did dual boot to compare the two Windows versions.
Until windows 10 stops working altogether, I see no reason to upgrade. I have a new win11 laptop and an older win10 laptop. For my everyday uses I can't see what the win11 upgrade does for me except move everything around and confuse me.
Creating confussion is the globalist way! ;)
Totally agree with you.
I have to ask, why would anyone subject themselves to the torture that is Windows 11, especially if their hardware is artificially not supported? WHY? Is Windows 10 not enough for you guys? What compels one to en-devour into ad driven scam like mess that is latest MS development?
i keep win 10 untill i either get a TMP 2.0 chip or the prices falls again so i can build a new PC without buying a minor country worth of hardware

The question remains: Will you keep getting Windows 11 updates in the future. If not, you're screwed... hopefully a downgrade to Windows 10 will still work then.
