Bypass TPM, Secure Boot and RAM Checks in Windows 11 Setup

13 May 2024

On the first screen of Windows 11 setup, press Shift + F10 to open a command prompt.

Run regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup. Create a new key named LabConfig and inside it these DWORD (32-bit) values:

BypassTPMCheck = 1
BypassSecureBootCheck = 1
BypassRAMCheck = 1
BypassCPUCheck = 1 (optional)

Or do it in one go from the same command prompt:

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 BypassRAMCheck /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Close the prompt and continue the installation.

Tip: Rufus can apply these bypasses automatically when it creates the USB installer.

Note: Microsoft does not support Windows 11 on hardware that fails these checks, so updates are not guaranteed.
