Microsoft wants to prevent the installation of Windows 11 on non -compatible PCs


After having a tolerated time, Microsoft decided to block the installation of Windows 11 on old PCs and not compatible with third -party tips and software. Bad news before the next end of Windows 10.

Since its release, Windows 11 has required strict hardware prerequisites to be able to be installed on a computer, including the presence of a processor that meets certain characteristics and that of a TPM 2.0 safety module. These requirements have aroused criticism since the arrival of the new operating system, as they prevent many still perfectly functional PCs from migrating to Windows 11.

Several techniques of bypassing these prerequisites have emerged in recent years and allow, until now, to install Windows on non -compatible PCs, without creating notable stability or safety problems. Although not officially authorizing them, Microsoft so far tolerated these practices, and even provided instructions to do this on a dedicated web page, with suitable warnings.

  • Microsoft recommends not installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the minimum configuration required Windows 11. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements and you accept and understand the risks, You can create the following registry key values ​​and get around the verification of TPM 2.0 (TPM 1.2 at least is required) as well as the family and the central unit model.
  • Registry key: hkey_local_machine \ System \ Setup \ Mosetup
  • Nom : AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
  • Type : REG_DWORD
  • Value: 1
  • Note: serious problems can arise if you change the register incorrectly using the register editor or other method. These problems may require resettlement of the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be resolved. Change the register at your own risk.

Windows 11 on non -compatible PCs: Microsoft blocks bypass tools

‘American company, however, has just modified, in all discretion, the page in question to remove the bypass instructions. In addition, Windows Defender now considers certain bypass tools such as Flyby11 as malware. The firm therefore displays a much firmer and perfectly clear message: buy a new compatible PC if you want to go to Windows 11.

Forcing the installation of the operating system on an officially non -compatible PC remains possible with other methods and tools, in particular the creator of the Rufus amorçable USB key. But this screw tightening does not bode well as to the longevity of these bypass techniques, and raises several questions for owners of a computer still under Windows 10.

Will users who installed Windows 11 by bypassing the material requirements will continue to receive updates, especially security, in the future? Will the company go further by blocking more tools and methods as Windows 10 maintenance approached, scheduled for October 2025? The people concerned will have to make a choice, and it is not certain that continuing to hack to go beyond the requirements of Microsoft is a viable strategy in the long term.
