您可能听说过Windows 11的苛刻系统要求。您不能将它安装在不受支持的计算机上——没有TPM 2.0、安全启动(Secure Boot)或足够RAM的计算机。这个清单在外面留下了很多，理论上无法安装Windows 11。然而，好消息是有办法克服这个问题并在不受支持的硬件上安装Windows 11 。同样，VMware Workstation Player Free等免费虚拟机应用程序默认不会让您轻松安装Windows 11 。但您也可以绕过Windows 11检查。做过(Did)我们设法让您感兴趣？以下是在不受支持的计算机和虚拟机上安装Windows 11的几种方法：
如何在任何 PC 上安装Windows 11，即使它不符合系统要求
在安装Windows 11之前，请检查您的 PC 是否与此操作系统兼容。要查看它是否选中所有框，请阅读所有最低 Windows 11 系统要求(minimum Windows 11 system requirements)。如果是，则无需绕过TPM、Secure Boot和RAM检查。相反，请遵循我们在本指南中提供的所有说明：如何从 USB、DVD 或 ISO 安装 Windows 11(How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO)。
但是，如果您的 PC 不符合Windows 11要求，请按照以下两种方法之一中的步骤通过绕过强制性Windows 11检查将其安装到任何计算机上。
方法 1(Method 1)。使用命令在任何 PC 上安装(Install)Windows 11 以绕过TPM、安全启动(Secure Boot)和RAM检查
首先，使用 Microsoft 的媒体创建工具(Media Creation Tool)(Media Creation Tool)准备一个Windows 11(Windows 11)可启动USB记忆棒，或将 Windows 11 ISO 文件刻录到 DVD 上(burn a Windows 11 ISO file onto a DVD)。然后，使用Windows 11安装光盘或U(USB)盘启动您的 PC 。等待(Wait)一两秒钟，您的计算机或设备应该会短暂显示一条消息，要求您“按任意键从 CD 或 DVD 启动”。(“Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.” )这样做并等待Windows 11安装向导加载。
按(Press)任意键从 CD 或 DVD 启动
Windows 11安装向导首先要求您选择语言、时间和货币格式，然后选择您想要使用的键盘或输入法。暂时忽略这个。相反，同时按下键盘上的Shift + F10键以打开Command Prompt。
Press Shift + F10打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)
这一步很重要，因为如果您继续正常安装过程，它最终会告诉您“这台电脑无法运行 Windows 11”(“This PC can’t run Windows 11”)，因为“这台电脑不符合安装此版本的最低要求”视窗。”(“This PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to install this version of Windows.”)
这台电脑无法运行 Windows 11
如果您的 PC 满足所有Windows 11系统要求，例如TPM和Secure Boot，则不会有任何问题。但是，由于您没有安装Windows 11，因此您需要绕过操作系统的检查。如果需要，这包括TPM、Secure Boot和RAM 。以下是如何做到这一点：
按Shift + F10后，Windows 11安装过程将启动Command Prompt。在其窗口中，根据您的需要，依次键入并执行以下命令：
第一个禁用TPM检查，第二个禁用安全启动(Secure Boot)检查，最后第三个禁用RAM验证。所有命令都应以消息结尾，告诉您“操作已成功完成”。(“The operation completed successfully.”)运行所有三个后，关闭命令提示符(Command Prompt)。
绕过 Windows 11 的TPM、SecureBoot和RAM检查的命令
现在您已经配置了Windows 11设置以绕过可怕的TPM、Secure Boot和RAM检查，您应该可以在任何计算机上安装它。从这里开始，您可以像往常一样继续安装。如果您需要帮助，我们已经详细介绍了本专用指南中的所有后续步骤：如何从 USB、DVD 或 ISO 安装 Windows 11(How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO)。安装完成后，您可以开始测试Windows 11并查看您的喜好。🙂
在不受支持的硬件上运行的 Windows 11
方法二(Method 2)。使用Rufus(Rufus)在任何 PC 上安装Windows 11(Install)
Rufus是一种工具，它提供了另一种在任何计算机上安装Windows 11的方法，无论它是否满足系统要求。首先(First)，您需要下载 Windows 11 ISO 文件(download a Windows 11 ISO file)和Rufus。确保您获得此应用程序的最新版本，并记住您也可以将Rufus作为便携式应用程序。如果您这样做，您可以在下载后简单地运行可执行文件，而无需在您的计算机上安装任何东西。
下载并运行 Rufus
拥有Rufus和Windows 11 ISO文件后，将USB驱动器（例如便携式SSD或USB记忆棒）连接到您的计算机。请注意使用足够大的驱动器以容纳Windows 11安装文件。建议使用 8GB 或更多。然后，将其插入 PC 后，从Rufus窗口的设备(Device)列表中选择它。
连接(Connect)并选择适用于Windows 11的(Windows 11)USB驱动器
然后，单击或点击启动选择(Boot selection)，选择“磁盘或 ISO 映像”(“Disk or ISO image,”)，然后按旁边的选择。(Select)在显示的新窗口中，导航并选择您之前在 PC 上下载的Windows 11或ISO文件。
选择 Windows 11 ISO 文件
接下来，您需要配置Rufus以创建一个不检查Windows 11系统要求的可启动驱动器。为此，在Rufus 的(Rufus’)窗口中，单击或点击图像选项(Image option)列表，然后选择“Extended Windows 11 Installation (no TPM / no Secure Boot).”
选择扩展 Windows 11(Choose Extended Windows 11) 安装(Installation)（无TPM / 无安全启动(Secure Boot)）
接下来，选择Partition scheme和Target system。如果您打算在具有UEFI的现代计算机上安装(UEFI)Windows 11，请选择GPT分区方案(Partition scheme)和UEFI（非 CSM）(UEFI (non-CSM))目标系统(Target system)。否则，如果您想在仍使用BIOS的旧计算机上安装(BIOS)Windows 11，请选择MBR 分区方案(MBR Partition scheme)和BIOS（或 UEFI-CSM）(BIOS (or UEFI-CSM))目标系统(Target system)。
(Choose)在GPT（UEFI，非CSM）和MBR（BIOS，UEFI-CSM）之间进行选择
您可以保留其他设置。要开始构建Windows 11 USB驱动器，请按底部的开始按钮。(Start)
开始(Start)创建Windows 11安装驱动器
Rufus会警告您，它将擦除USB驱动器上的所有分区。这意味着在此过程中将删除其上的所有数据。确保USB驱动器上没有您可能仍需要的任何内容，然后按OK继续。
Rufus警告您U(USB)盘上的数据将会丢失
等待Rufus创建可启动的Windows 11 USB驱动器：如果需要，您可以通过查看进度条来检查该过程的进展情况。
Rufus创建Windows 11 USB驱动器
完成后，关闭Rufus(Close)应用(Rufus)程序。然后，您可以使用USB驱动器在您喜欢的任何计算机上启动和安装Windows 11，即使它不符合系统要求。有关后续步骤的指导，请阅读本文：如何从 USB、DVD 或 ISO 安装 Windows 11(How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO)。
如何在虚拟机上安装Windows 11 （ VMware Workstation Player 免费(VMware Workstation Player Free)）
在不让您的计算机面临风险的情况下测试新操作系统的最佳方法是在虚拟机上安装并试用它。微软全新的操作系统Windows 11也是如此，它虽然漂亮而闪亮，但也有很多变化，也有一些错误。不幸的是，正如您已经知道的那样，它有一些苛刻的系统要求，例如安全启动(Secure Boot)和需要安装TPM 2.0芯片，这还不是免费的虚拟机播放器可以处理的。付费的通常比免费的虚拟机应用程序更容易配置并且有更多的选择，但它们要花很多钱。对于大多数家庭用户来说，仅仅为了测试Windows 11而付出的代价并不值得(Windows 11). 好消息是，有一种方法可以使用VMware 的 Workstation Player(VMware’s Workstation Player)在虚拟机上安装Windows 11，免费供个人使用。您将需要绕过Windows 11的(Windows 11)TPM和CPU检查，但正如您在本指南的第一章中已经看到的那样，这并不像听起来那么难。事不宜迟，以下是使用VMware Workstation Player（免费）(VMware Workstation Player (Free))在虚拟机中安装Windows 11的方法：
在虚拟机上安装Windows 11(Windows 11)的第一步是获取正确的工具。再次使用您的网络浏览器下载 Windows 11(download Windows 11)。然后，您将需要一个好的 VM 应用程序。目前，与Windows 11兼容的最佳 VM 应用程序是 VMware 的虚拟化解决方案。我们在本指南中重点介绍的是免费供个人使用的(free for personal use)VMware Workstation Player应用程序。因此，请再次使用 Web 浏览器下载(download VMware Workstation Player)VMware Workstation Player。然后，将其安装在您的计算机上。

选择 Microsoft Windows(Choose Microsoft Windows)和Windows 10 x64
输入Windows 11虚拟机的名称，然后选择计算机上要保存其文件的文件夹位置。然后，按下一步(Next)。
输入虚拟机的名称和位置
VMware Workstation Player Free现在要求您为Windows 11虚拟机指定磁盘容量。(Specify Disk Capacity)输入 64GB(Enter 64GB)或更多，但不能更少，因为这是Microsoft对Windows 11所需的最小可用磁盘空间。然后，选择是要“将虚拟磁盘存储为单个文件”(“Store virtual disk as a single file”)还是“将虚拟磁盘拆分为多个文件”(“Split virtual disk into multiple files,”)，然后按下一步(Next)。
将(Set)虚拟机驱动器的大小设置为至少 64GB
在Windows 11(Windows 11)虚拟机配置向导的下一步中，您可能想按完成(Finish)以为您已完成。但是不要这样做，因为您仍然需要调整一些设置：
当VMware Workstation Player Free显示“已准备好创建虚拟机”时，(“Ready to Create Virtual Machine,”)单击或点击Customize Hardware，而不是Finish。
单击或点击自定义硬件
这将打开VMware Workstation Player 的硬件(VMware Workstation Player’s Hardware)窗口。在其中，选择左侧的内存(Memory)并将分配给Windows 11虚拟机的(Windows 11)RAM量增加到至少 4096MB。
(Allocate)为虚拟机分配至少 4GB 的RAM
如果您拥有强大的处理器，您可能还希望增加分配给Windows 11虚拟机的CPU内核数。(CPU)但是，这不是强制性的，因为VMware Workstation Player Free默认为其提供了两个内核，这是Windows 11所需的最低要求。
设置虚拟机可用的(Set)CPU内核数（至少 2 个）
接下来，选择硬件(Hardware)窗口左侧的CD/DVD (SATA)然后，在其右侧，选择“使用 ISO 映像文件”(“Use ISO image file”)并浏览(Browse)或键入您在本指南的方法二中下载的Windows 11 ISO文件的位置。(ISO)

How to install Windows 11 on any (unsupported) PC or virtual machine
You’ve probably heard of the steep system requiremеnts of Windows 11. Υou can’t install it on an unsupported computer - one that doesn’t have TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, оr enough RAM. Thіs checklist leaves many on the outside, theoretically unable to install Windows 11. However, the good newѕ is that there are wаys to overcome this issue and install Windows 11 on unsupported hardwаre. Similarly, free virtual machine applications like VMware Workstation Player Free don’t let you install Windows 11 easily by default. But you can bypass the Windows 11 checks in them too. Did we manage to make you interested? Here are a few ways to install Windows 11 on unsupported computers and on virtual machines:
How to install Windows 11 on any PC, even if it doesn’t meet the system requirements
Before installing Windows 11, check whether your PC is compatible with this operating system. To see if it checks all the boxes, read all the minimum Windows 11 system requirements. If it does, there’s no need for you to bypass the TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks. Instead, follow all the instructions we presented in this guide: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO.
However, if your PC doesn’t meet the Windows 11 requirements, follow the steps from one of the following two methods to install it on any computer by bypassing the mandatory Windows 11 checks.
Method 1. Install Windows 11 on any PC using commands to bypass the TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks
First, prepare a Windows 11 bootable USB memory stick using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool, or burn a Windows 11 ISO file onto a DVD. Then, boot your PC using the Windows 11 installation disc or USB stick. Wait for a second or two, and your computer or device should briefly display a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.” Do so and wait for the Windows 11 installation wizard to load.
Press any key to boot from CD or DVD
The Windows 11 install wizard begins by asking you to choose the language, time, and currency format, and then the keyboard or input method you’d like to use. Ignore this for the moment. Instead, simultaneously press the Shift + F10 keys on your keyboard to open Command Prompt.
Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt
This step is important, because if you would’ve continued the setup process normally, it would have eventually told you that “This PC can’t run Windows 11” because “This PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to install this version of Windows.”
This PC can't run Windows 11
If your PC would have met all the Windows 11 system requirements, like TPM and Secure Boot, there wouldn’t have been any problem. However, because yours doesn’t, to be able to install Windows 11, you need to bypass the operating system’s checks. That includes TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM if you need to. Here’s how to do that:
After pressing Shift + F10, the Windows 11 setup process launches Command Prompt. In its window, type and execute the following commands one after the other, according to your needs:
The first one disables the TPM check, the second one the Secure Boot check, and finally, the third disables the RAM verification. All the commands should end with messages telling you “The operation completed successfully.” After you run all three of them, close the Command Prompt.
The commands that bypass Windows 11's TPM, SecureBoot, and RAM checks
Now you’ve configured the Windows 11 setup to bypass the dreaded TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks, you should be able to install it on any computer. From here on, you can continue the installation as you normally would. If you need help with it, we’ve detailed all the next steps in this dedicated guide: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO. After you finish installing it, you can start testing Windows 11 and see how you like it. 🙂
Windows 11 running on unsupported hardware
Method 2. Install Windows 11 on any PC using Rufus
Rufus is a tool that offers yet another method to install Windows 11 on any computer, regardless of whether it meets the system requirements. First, you’ll need to download a Windows 11 ISO file and also Rufus. Ensure that you get the latest edition of this app, and keep in mind that you can also get Rufus as a portable app. If you do that, you can simply run the executable file after you download it, without having to install anything on your computer.
Download and run Rufus
Once you have both Rufus and the Windows 11 ISO file, connect a USB drive such as a portable SSD or USB memory stick to your computer. Be careful to use a drive large enough to fit the Windows 11 setup files. 8GB or more is what’s recommended. Then, after you plug it into your PC, select it in the Device list from Rufus’ window.
Connect and select the USB drive for Windows 11
Then, click or tap on Boot selection, choose “Disk or ISO image,” and press Select next to it. In the new window that shows up, navigate and select the Windows 11 or ISO file that you downloaded earlier on your PC.
Select the Windows 11 ISO file
Next, you need to configure Rufus to create a bootable drive that doesn’t check for Windows 11’s system requirements. To do so, in Rufus’ window, click or tap on the Image option list and select “Extended Windows 11 Installation (no TPM / no Secure Boot).”
Choose Extended Windows 11 Installation (no TPM / no Secure Boot)
Next, select the Partition scheme and Target system. If you intend to install Windows 11 on a modern computer with UEFI, select the GPT Partition scheme and UEFI (non-CSM) Target system. Otherwise, if you want to install Windows 11 on an older computer that still uses BIOS, choose the MBR Partition scheme and BIOS (or UEFI-CSM) Target system.
Choose between GPT (UEFI, non CSM) and MBR (BIOS, UEFI-CSM)
You can leave the other settings as they are. To start building the Windows 11 USB drive, press the Start button at the bottom.
Start creating the Windows 11 installation drive
Rufus will warn you that it will erase all the partitions on the USB drive. That means that all the data on it is being deleted during the process. Ensure you don’t have anything on the USB drive that you might still need and press OK to continue.
Rufus warns you that the data on the USB drive will be lost
Wait for Rufus to create the bootable Windows 11 USB drive: if you want, you can check how the process is going by looking at the progress bar.
Rufus creates the Windows 11 USB drive
When done, Close the Rufus application. Then, you can use the USB drive to boot and install Windows 11 on any computer you like, even if it doesn’t meet the system requirements. For guidance on the next steps, read this article: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO.
How to install Windows 11 on a virtual machine (VMware Workstation Player Free)
The best way to test a new operating system without putting your computers at risk is to install and try it on a virtual machine. That’s also true when it comes to Windows 11, Microsoft’s brand new operating system, which, although nice and shiny, comes with plenty of changes and also has its share of bugs. Unfortunately, as you already know, it has some steep system requirements, like Secure Boot and the need for a TPM 2.0 chip being installed, which is not something free virtual machine players can handle yet. Paid ones are usually easier to configure and have more options than free virtual machine apps, but they cost quite a lot of money. For most home users, that’s not something worth paying just to test Windows 11. The good news is that there is a way to install Windows 11 on a virtual machine using VMware’s Workstation Player, which is free for personal use. You will need to bypass the TPM and CPU checks of Windows 11, but as you’ve already seen in the first chapter of this guide, it is not as hard as it may sound. Without further ado, here’s how to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine using VMware Workstation Player (Free):
The first step to installing Windows 11 on a virtual machine is to get the right tools. Use your web browser again to download Windows 11. Then, you’ll need a good VM application. For now, the best VM apps that work well with Windows 11 are VMware’s virtualization solutions. And the one that we focus on in this guide is the VMware Workstation Player app that’s free for personal use. So, use your web browser again to download VMware Workstation Player. Then, install it on your computer.
Install VMware Workstation Player 16 Free
You now have both tools required to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine: VMware Workstation Player (Free) and the Windows 11 ISO file. Next, let’s see how to actually install Windows 11 in VMware’s free Player:
Fire up VMware Workstation Player Free on your computer. In its window, click or tap on “Create a New Virtual Machine.”
Create a new virtual machine in VMware Workstation Player Free
Choose “I will install the operating system later” in the “New Virtual Machine Wizard” window, and then click or tap on Next.
I will install the operating system later
Select Microsoft Windows under “Guest operating system,” choose Windows 10 x64 in the Version list, and press Next.
Choose Microsoft Windows and Windows 10 x64
Enter a name for the Windows 11 virtual machine and choose the folder location on your computer where you want to save its files. Then, press Next.
Enter a name and a location for the virtual machine
VMware Workstation Player Free now asks you to Specify Disk Capacity for the Windows 11 virtual machine. Enter 64GB or more, but not less, as this is the minimum free disk space required by Microsoft for Windows 11. Then, choose whether you want to “Store virtual disk as a single file” or “Split virtual disk into multiple files,” and press Next.
Set the size of the virtual machine drive to at least 64GB
On the next step of the Windows 11 virtual machine configuration wizard, you might be tempted to press Finish thinking you’re done. But don’t do that yet, as you still need to adjust a few settings:
When VMware Workstation Player Free says that it’s “Ready to Create Virtual Machine,” click or tap on Customize Hardware, not on Finish.
Click or tap on Customize Hardware
This opens VMware Workstation Player’s Hardware window. In it, select Memory on the left and increase the amount of RAM allocated to the Windows 11 virtual machine to at least 4096MB.
Allocate at least 4GB of RAM for the virtual machine
If you have a powerful processor, you might also want to increase the number of CPU cores allocated to the Windows 11 virtual machine. However, that’s not mandatory, as VMware Workstation Player Free gives it two cores by default, which is the minimum required by Windows 11.
Set the number of CPU cores available to the virtual machine (at least 2)
Next, select CD/DVD (SATA) on the left of the Hardware window. Then, on its right side, select “Use ISO image file” and Browse or type the location of the Windows 11 ISO file you downloaded on method two of this guide.
Specify the location of the Windows 11 ISO file
You can leave the other settings as they are or customize them to your liking. Once you’re done, click or tap the Close button from the bottom-right corner of the Hardware window and then the Finish button from the “Ready to Create Virtual Machine” window.
Back on the dashboard of VMware Workstation Player Free, the Windows 11 virtual machine is now created and listed on the left side of the window. To start it, double-click on its name on the left, or select it first and then click/tap on “Play virtual machine” on the right.
Start the virtual machine
Then, the virtual machine starts from the ISO file and loads the Windows 11 installation wizard. The next steps are exactly the same ones we’ve shown you in the first method from the first chapter of this guide. Follow the instructions exactly, and you’ll be able to bypass the TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks in no time. In short, when the Windows 11 wizard launches, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt and run these commands:
The commands that bypasses Windows 11's TPM, SecureBoot, and RAM checks
Then, you can continue to install Windows 11, as you won’t be bothered by any other issues regarding unsupported hardware anymore.
