Microsoft have released registry edit allowupgradeswithunsupportedtpmorcpu as a workaround for the TPM 2.0 check and CPU checks. In contrast to their earlier firmness about the need for systems running Windows 11 to adhere to the system requirements, Microsoft has provided an official way to get around these checks, although the procedure is not without some risk. Additionally, TMP 1.2 is still required.
It seems as if Mircosoft has acknowledged that people were finding a way around the TMP 2.0 check anyway, so decided to at least tell people how to do it in the most risk-free way possible, rather than using third-party methods which could do more harm than good. Read below to find out more.

Risks with allowupgradeswithunsupportedtpmorcpu workaround
Firstly, changing anything in the official Windows 11 registry using the Registry Editor has the potential to corrupt the filesystem, leading to the operating system not being able to boot – and you do so at your own risk.
Secondly, bypassing TMP 2.0 means your system will be without some of the advanced security systems that Microsoft have brought with the new operating system, making your system more vulnerable.
It’s always advisable to use a TPM 2.0 compatible system where possible, but if not then this workaround could be for you!
