If you need to install Windows 11 on a PC with unsupported hardware, you can bypass the system requirements. In this post, MiniTool shows a Windows 11 LTSC bypass requirements trick to make the installation on an unsupported PC a breeze.

Several Options to Bypass Windows 11 Requirements

Since the release of Windows 11, its system requirements have been a bone of contention. Although Intel’s 7th gen (Kaby Lake) and AMD’s first-gen Ryzen (1000 series) are powerful enough to run Windows 11, these chips and older don’t have certain security features that are vital to run TPM 2.0 (that is mandatory). Then, Microsoft excludes them.

At all events, some users try to use some workarounds to install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs. Quite interestingly, Microsoft has officially offered a registry method to bypass Windows 11 requirements, albeit with warnings about potential risks. In addition, Rufus and Ventoy are also useful to bypass system checks to create bootable USB.

Windows 11 LTSC Bypass Requirements Trick

This is a one-click trick to prevent going through the system requirements checks during Windows 11 Setup. You only need to choose Windows 11 loT Enterprise LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel), a specialized version designed for specific devices. Then, the installation phase will completely skip the check for hardware compatibility. Windows loT Enterprise LTSC releases about every three years and receives a 10-year support lifecycle.

According to Bob Pony in X (previously Twitter), if you choose Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC in the Windows Setup interface, it checks for the system requirements just like regular Windows 11 does.

Soon afterwards, Bob Pony says the same bypass method also applies to the regular Windows 11 loT Enterprise (non-LTSC) that is the superior edition of Windows 11. This only works for Windows 11 Version 24H2. If you use 23H2 and older, you will also get the message “This PC can’t run Windows 11” during Windows Setup.
