Bypass Windows 11 Upgrade Assistant / PC Health Check / TPM and CPU Settings

To bypass the Windows 11 Upgrade Assistant and avoid the TPM and CPU requirement checks, you can modify specific registry values to trick the system into thinking your computer meets the necessary requirements. This method addresses common error messages, such as:

  • This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements.
  • TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled on this PC.
  • The processor isn't currently supported for Windows 11.

The Upgrade Assistant checks the following registry key to determine eligibility:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\PCHC
    • Set the UpgradeEligibility value (DWORD) to 1.

This alone will allow the Upgrade Assistant to proceed, but to complete the upgrade process on systems with unsupported TPM or CPU, you must also modify this registry key:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
    • Set the AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU value (DWORD) to 1.

Once both values are configured, you can upgrade to Windows 11 by running the 4 MB Upgrade Assistant file rather than using the full Windows 11 ISO. This method allows you to bypass hardware compatibility checks while minimizing the hassle of downloading the entire ISO file.

How to Use

Simply save the reg file and run it then hit Yes to apply the tweaks to the system. No scripts or excessive modifications required.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\PCHC]
"UpgradeEligibility"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup]
"AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001

Thanks @PhoebeBaxter , worked with your suggestion. I was able to upgrade using Windows 11 Installation Assistant.
