Disable TPM check when creating Windows 11 installation media

Google search term: "disable tpm check windows 11 creation tool"

To disable the TPM check when creating Windows 11 installation media, the most efficient method is using Rufus. This tool automates the process of bypassing TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and RAM requirements during the creation of a bootable USB drive.

Method 1: Using Rufus (Recommended)

This method is best if you are creating a bootable USB from an ISO file.

  1. Download Rufus: Go to the official Rufus website and download the latest version.
  2. Download Windows 11 ISO: Download the Windows 11 ISO from the official Microsoft website.
  3. Run Rufus: Insert your USB drive (at least 8GB) and launch Rufus.
  4. Select Device and ISO: Select your USB drive under "Device" and click "Select" to choose the downloaded Windows 11 ISO file.
  5. Start and Configure: Click Start.
  6. Bypass Options: A dialog box will appear with options. Check the box for "Remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0".
  7. Finalize: Click OK to allow Rufus to create the bootable drive with the bypass applied.
Method 2: During Installation (Registry Hack)

If you already have a standard bootable USB and want to skip the check during installation:

  1. Boot your PC from the Windows 11 USB drive.
  2. On the "This PC can't run Windows 11" screen, press Shift + F10 to open the Command Prompt.
  3. Type regedit and press Enter.
  4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
  5. Right-click on Setup, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig.
  6. Inside LabConfig, create three DWORD (32-bit) values:
    1. BypassTPMCheck (set to 1)
    2. BypassSecureBootCheck (set to 1)
    3. BypassRAMCheck (set to 1).
  7. Close the Registry Editor and Command Prompt, then click the back button to continue the installation.
