Can I install Windows 11 without TPM 2.0?
Short answer
Technically yes via a registry bypass during setup, but Microsoft explicitly does not guarantee security updates on unsupported hardware. Most 2018+ PCs have an fTPM in BIOS that just needs enabling — check before bypassing.
The longer explanation
الطريقة المدعومة هي تفعيل TPM المدمج في البرنامج الثابت (Intel PTT أو AMD fTPM) من UEFI — معظم لوحات Ryzen 2000+ وIntel من الجيل الثامن فما فوق تأتي به معطّلاً افتراضيًا. مع Secure Boot يجتاز هذا اختبار عتاد Windows 11 دون الحاجة إلى تعديل في السجل.
على الأجهزة غير المدعومة فعلًا، يقبل الإعداد قيمة السجل AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU أو صورة ISO معدَّلة بأداة Rufus. المقابل: علامة مائية على الشاشة، لا ضمان لتحديثات الأمان التراكمية، ويحق لـ Microsoft حجب الترقيات المستقبلية.
