The steps necessary to remove the "Secure Boot" and "TPM 2.0" requirements error when attempting to install Windows 11 Consumer Preview 1. Obtain the newest available Windows 10 ISO from Micro$0ft; 2. Already have made your Windows 11 USB Installer using Rufus; 3. Mount Windows 10 ISO; 4. Find and locate the folder named Sources on the mounted ISO; 5. Copy all of the files in the Sources folder of the mounted ISO except for install.wim/install.esd; 6. Navigate to the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer that you have previously created in your File Manager; 7. Open the Sources folder on the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer; 8. Paste the previously copied contents/files from the Sources folder on the mounted Win 10 ISO to the Sources folder of the Windows 11 bootable USB Installer, and make sure to replace the files present in the Windows 11 USB Installer Sources folder; 9. Boot from Windows 11 USB Installer; 10. Profit from not having the requirements of Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 being enabled in place.

Still running Win 7 Pro in the vain hope that Microsoft will eventually follow through with no more endless updates.

[@googlewolly]

@@pilotavery Not necessarily. If they force you to have TPM 2.0, for example, it won't let Windows 11 install without it. There is virtually always a workaround with respect to computers, but that's not the point.

[@pilotavery]

@@googlewolly they've changed the requirements to TPM 1.2, which means just about every computer since 2005...

[@googlewolly]

@@pilotavery Firstly, no, they didn't. They actually did the opposite and removed the "soft" requirement of 1.2. I just checked, and 2.0 is a requirement. Secondly, I used "not necessarily" because my main point was with reference to if 2.0 remains a requirement.

[@pilotavery]

@@googlewolly 2.0 is a hard requirement, but it will work on 1.2. The thing people need to understand is when they get a list of processors, those are the list of processors that is guaranteed to work on it. Because they have TPM built in. Unsupported processors, like 5th gen intel, definitely still work, it's just they can't guarantee that you didn't buy the crappiest of motherboards or that you didn't get a cheap knockoff brand Chinese laptop that does not integrate any of these. I have a Dell from 2007 with a TPM chip, at that point Dell only included them on about 40% of their laptops and all of their low-end consumer just omitted it but they still have a connector on the laptop motherboard for it. In 2012, dell started putting them on all of their laptops and in 2013 HP did as well. It's pretty difficult to find a computer without it, and frankly, it doesn't deserve to run Windows, especially if the OS requires secure boot. Windows does not need to be backwards compatible forever. Windows XP did not run on a 16-bit processor and Windows 7 did not run on 128 megabytes of ram. If everybody complained that everyone made their computer obsolete by requiring Windows XP to have a 32-bit processor and not run on 16-bit, I would just laugh my ass off because of course it's going to require that, it's a new technology that's been around for long enough. TPM has been around since before 2008, and they've become pretty much ubiquitous since 2014. Even Android since Android 7, requires a TPM chip on every single phone. Even the crappiest of phones, are required to include a TPM chip in order to be certified for Google Play services. There are some exceptions, but those exceptions are in China that don't have access to Google Play store.

If your computer was made after 2014 it should be fine. Literally AMD has put a TPM chip embedded in every single one of their CPUs since 2014.

Until motherboards cost so much more because they force the consumer to pay for all of these bills and whistles separately. You might have to disable CSM and enable UEFI in BIOS and convert your partition to GPT if you want the TPM chip to work, many people who have installed Windows themselves did not do it properly and therefore won't have access to tpm.

You can avoid the TPM requirement all together. You need to use dism to copy an install.wim to a partition and it will skip the TPM requirement completely.

[@LevenLappi]

Chances are they'll lower the recommendations back down upon official release, likely the same as it is for Windows 10. And if Secure Boot/UEFI is needed, there will be ways to bypass that anyways, since all processors that are 2+ cores will still be supported in later operating systems as per the "minimum requirements."

This is honestly one of the dumbest requirements for windows 11. You can pretty much have a super powerful pc but not that chip and you can't run windows 11. Microsoft is making it difficult for customers for no reason.

In the middle of a global chip shortage Microsoft with tpm and AMD removing support for mid range gpu's are making it extremely hard work for us average users. I'll just keep on using my antique A6 6400k APU / R7 370 4GB GPU / 8 GB DDR3 Ram running windows 10 pro until it drops dead from exhaustion. Tbf 99% of the time it runs games at 30fps+ at high settings (1080p) so I'm at least getting console quality gaming. Yeh, yeh, yeh I know, I should upgrade but I won't because I'm stubborn 😛 *Side note We're watching you Nvidia..............🤣

[@Ender275]

Your specs sound like agony. Also console quality isn’t 1080p its 4K 60fps.

[@VirtualTrucker74]

@@Ender275 True, there's a ton of games out there for the newer PS4 pro's which run 4k games at higher than 1080p. Some sacrifice frame rate for resolution and run at 30fps, others sacrifice resolution for 60fps by making use of something called DRS Dynamic Resolution Scaling. Either way you look at it something takes a hit. PS5's are a different story, much better and faster hardware makes things a lot better, 60+ fps 4k gaming will be easier for those consoles. Problem being, not many people can find them due to chip shortages. The reason I referenced console gaming to be around 30fps 1080p was that a lot of people will have to be settling for slightly older PS4 consoles, (not the Pro ones) those mainly output 720 to 1080p with an average of 30fps for the games (not sure if it was able to stream stuff at 4k though).
