Hi everyone, I’m checking out the links you shared—JXKCnt i7-4790K and H97-Plus look promising. I’m trying to run Windows 11 but ran into some hiccups. The CPU warning disappeared when I installed from the ISO, but the TPM alert still stays because my motherboard doesn’t have a TPM chip. I’ve tried regedit and updating the BIOS, and there are TPM modules listed in the board specs, though I’m not sure if that fixes things. I also searched for compatible boards, but most LGA1150 models from that era don’t support TPM. In short, I’m leaning toward needing a new motherboard and CPU to make Windows 11 work reliably. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Download the newest Windows 11 ISO file and employ Rufus to generate a bootable USB drive. It will prompt you about which features you wish to turn off. Spoiler: it’s all in your hands.

You can generate a bootable USB using various tools like Rufus or Etcher while bypassing certain restrictions. Other methods exist, but be aware this setup is not widely supported. Expect potential problems with Windows updates and limited official assistance. Proceed only if you understand the risks.
