So, you need to go to the registry and go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetupMoSetup branch. Then you need to create a DWORD value named AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU and assign it the value 1.

This bypasses the security that requires the PC to have a TPM 2.0. True, the TPM 1.2 module is still needed. The method is also suitable for installing Windows 11 on officially incompatible processors.

Of course, Microsoft warns that it does not recommend installing a new OS on an incompatible PC. At the same time, specifically on this page of the Microsoft website, there is no mention of the fact that with such an installation, Windows 11 will not receive updates.

Recall that Microsoft not only requires a TPM 2.0 module for Windows 11, which is not even available on many fairly modern PCs, but also significantly limited the list of supported processors. In particular, it lacks even the first generation Ryzen and Intel Core Skylake CPU.
