Some of you, like myself, may have a laptop or desktop that has a few years on it and does not have the TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) it may have only 1.0 or 1.1 - Windows 11 requires 2.0 and above so this means you will not be able to install Windows 11 do to this requirement, but no worries there is a way around this - While this is not an option that will be available to the average user, it is possible to edit the registry to make it possible to install Windows 11 on a computer that does not have TPM 2.0. Mostly for computers made prior to 2017

Use the following steps to install Windows 11 on an "incompatible" system:
- Start the installation of Windows 11, wait for a "This PC can't run Windows 11" message to appear and then pressing Shift + F10
- At the command prompt, type regedit and press Enter
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ Setup and create a new key called LabConfig
- Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value called BypassTPMCheck and set its value to 1
- Create another new DWORD (32-bit) value called BypassRAMCheck and set its value to 1
- Create a third new DWORD (32-bit) value called BypassSecureBootCheck and set its value to 1
- Close the Registry Editor, type exit and hit Enter
- When you are returned to the Windows Setup screen, click the back arrow and then restart the installation process.
- You should find that you are able to install Windows 11
