Due to forced hardware checks (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, ≥4 GB RAM) and the necessity for a Microsoft account during installation, installing Windows 11 has become less flexible. Let’s move ahead in the blog to get to know how to install Windows 11.
Manual Command-Line Bypass During OOBE
On the ‘choose a country’ screen, press Shift + F10 to get the command prompt.
To enable local account registration once more, launch ms-chx:localonly (newer builds) or run OOBEBYPASSNRO (older builds).
Before going on, use the ipconfig /release command to disconnect from the internet before getting a local account and moving ahead with restricted setup.
Though ‘start ms-chx:localonly’ remains operational for the time being, Microsoft has removed the bypassno command in Insider Preview build 26200+.
Registry solutions for hardware limitations
You may repair the registry for computers without TPM or Secure Boot by following these instructions.
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup, set AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU = 1 together with BypassSecureBootCheck, BypassTPMCheck, and BypassRAMCheck.
This enables users to install Windows 11 on non-supported devices; however, Microsoft could ban access, and updates may not function.
Creating a Jailbroken USB Installer using Rufus
Rufus will allow you to get a personalized Windows 11 USB installer, bypassing all the installation barriers.
Pick the Windows 11 ISO and a USB drive of at least 8 GB.
Under ‘Image Option,&’ choose ‘Extended Windows 11 installation’
Rufus eliminates hardware checks and bypasses the online account screen.
You boot from this USB and install Windows while offline, so Rufus resurrects the venerable limited setup, therefore allowing local accounts to be created.
