Has selected two methods that work fine on all computers used for the testing, and seemed the easiest and safest to use. Although the first method is not an official one, it still lets you upgrade to Windows 11 even if your computer is not compatible, as long as you use the officially provided tool – Windows 11 installation assistant. So, here is how you do it. Run Windows 11 installation assistant in compatibility mode for Windows 7. To do that, right-click on the installation assistant file. Select Properties – Compatibility. Check the box for the option Run this program in compatibility mode 4. And select Windows 7, from the list of available operating systems. Click Apply – OK. After that, Windows 11 installation assistant will run without checking hardware compatibility of your computer. However, it doesn't mean that you are safe from any issues and additional check-ups at some later time. The most amusing thing here is that we are actually using an official Microsoft tool. With all that, we remember that the company has declined all responsibility for any problems in trying to install Windows 11 to incompatible computers. For the second method, you will need a third-party software tool which makes it absolutely unofficial. You are going to perform all these actions on your own responsibility. Nevertheless, it worked fine on all the computers involved in this test. To upgrade the operating system, you need to download Universal Media Creation tool. With this utility, you will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 without checking the computer for compatibility. To download Universal Media Creation tool, visit the corresponding page on GitHub. Check the link below this video. Click Code and choose Download ZIP. Extract the archive to any folder and run the file mediacreationtool.bat. As a result, you may see the system warning from a smart screen. If it happened, click More Info and then Run Anyway. The PowerShell window appears with a list of Windows 10 versions, which can also be downloaded by using Universal Media Creation tool. In the MCT version window, choose the item 11, which stands for Windows 11. Another menu with a list of actions appears. To perform an automatic upgrade to Windows 11, choose the line Auto Setup. It will start Media Creation tool and begin upgrading your operating system to Windows 11. The whole process is automatic, so in the meantime, you can do whatever you need. The computer will restart several times while working on the updates. When the updates are complete, you can enjoy the freshly installed Windows 11. This was the method for upgrading to Windows 11 automatically with Universal Media Creation tool. However, in the folder containing this tool, there is a file that can disable checking your computer for compatibility with Windows 11. It removes another file with the name appraiseries.dll and creates a registry branch that allows to install Windows 11 without TPM version 2. Open the folder MCT and select a file with the name skip TPM check on dynamicupdate version 1.cmd. Click on it and choose Run as administrator. After that, start Windows 11 installation system. It will upgrade the operating system and do it without checking your computer for compatibility.
