For those who built their PC around 5 years ago or so, did you all enable TPM 2.0 in BIOS for W11 upgrade? Or just enroll in the extended security update first?

Can you remove the requirement using rufus and clean install.

Try not to do inplace upgrade.

Note that this is a "by left" method, so long term effect is unknown.

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassSecureBootCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassCPUCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup /v AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

run this 4 cmd at cmd

then download windows 11 iso, open and run setup.exe.

you will end up with win 11 + your existing program.

Just use this. Create your own minimum bloat Windows 11 ISO and install away. All taken care of. Not sure how to do it, just follow Chris Titus' tutorial video below. His GitHub repo is the "GO-TO" for the minimum crap version of Windows Install Utility. No need by left or by right.

You know what is another better way? Switch away from Windows and onboard Linux! :LOL:

His GitHub repo can be found here: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

Also you can use Flybyoobe to install Win11 without hardware requirements.
Works well and you have the option to upgrade (so can keep all the installed data and software) which makes it easy without clean install.

If PC is older than Intel 8th gen or AMD Ryzen 3000 series.
Just extend the Windows security feature I already done so for
some of my PCs.

I don't like Windows 11 it can lag quite badly especially on older hardware.
Mainly due to it's security features.

For those unsupported and more than 5 years old, can switch to IoT LTSC version.
  • Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 (21H2): Supported until January 12, 2027
  • Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (21H2): Supported until January 13, 2032
Windows 10 support has ended – LTSC 2021 and IoT LTSC 2021 still supported - Pureinfotech https://share.google/4iXBSMAaX6dKLsWcb
