I've heard some claims about bypassing TPM checks without using TPM 2.0, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make the installer overlook older CPUs. It's a bit puzzling, especially since I'm not entirely clear on how virtual machines function. The PC health tool flagged incompatibility, yet I managed to run the leaked Win 11 build on a VM.
We are already capable of doing that. You can skip (the leaked early version) TPM and secure boot to set it up on almost any toasters. The challenge is we aren't sure if Microsoft will embed these needs in the official release. Just because you can install the leaked version now doesn't guarantee we'll be able to adapt and set up the real version. Whether you decide to test it, you can use Virtual Box without altering the ISO (Virtual Machines already handle that) or follow this guide to install it without a VM https://winaero.com/how-to-install-windo...t-tpm-2-0/
