Windows 11 OS will only be compatible with a TPM 2.0 chip system, only on the mentioned CPUs, and only with a GPU that supports DirectX 12. For reference, the processor lists are (1) Intel: From the eighth generation onwards (MBEC support) (2) AMD: Some 2nd Gen (2000) Ryzen are supported, some are not (3) Qualcomm: All chipsets used so far in Windows on Arm systems except the very first, the Snapdragon 835.
However, it is possible to force the installation of Windows 11 even on PCs whose minimum requirements are not met due to the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.

Here, we will explain how to get around the new limitations imposed by Microsoft on the presence of the TPM 2.0 chip and Secure Boot in order to install Windows 11.
