Windows 11 checks several hardware components of a PC during installation. The goal is to ensure that the computer meets its minimum system requirements. According to Microsoft this process and its requirements are necessary to improve the security and functionality of Windows 11.
However, not everyone agrees with this discourse because millions of PCs running Windows 10 are not supported. They cannot therefore “migrate” to this new environment and their life expectancy in the “Microsoft” universe is limited. Windows 10 will be discontinued in 2025. Reviewers claim that Windows 11 works fine on systems that don’t meet the minimum requirements.
Installing Windows 11, how to bypass its hardware compatibility checks?
This controversy quickly gave rise to solutions to “bypass” the verification of the system requirements in order to install Windows 11. Tools like Rufus are available to achieve this.
Rufus allows you to install Windows 11 on all PCs, even those not eligible
There are also manual options to tackle for example the “TPM” requirement and unsupported processors. These different ways make it possible to upgrade almost any device compatible with Windows 10 to Windows 11. Note that while Windows 11 may seem to work well, some of its features may not activate due to hardware incompatibility.
Faced with this “rebellion” Microsoft has put in place a disclaimer to try to dissuade users. The giant indicates that there is no guarantee that the devices “incompatibles » on Windows 11 will receive updates in the future, including security updates. In addition, the damage due to lack of compatibility are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty ».
In the meantime, the search for ever simpler solutions continues. This week on X, a user reveals a new trick to bypass the system requirements check when installing Windows 11. The operation is very simple. It boils down to launching the installation with the /product server parameter.
To achieve this simply open a command prompt window, switch to the Windows installation media drive and run the following line
Setup /product server
Although this setting suggests installing a server edition, this is not the case. This is probably the easiest method to bypass Windows 11 hardware compatibility checks during installation.
