Windows 10: Ventoy 1.0.55: bypass Windows 11 requirements check during installation

The latest version of the open source tool Ventoy supports an option to bypass the Windows 11 requirements check during installation of the operating system.

Ventoy 1.0.55 is available already for download. The program can be used to created bootable USB media from a variety of image formats, including ISO, WIM, IMG and VHD. What sets Ventoy apart from most solutions, including Rufus and Universal MediaCreationTool , is that it places image files directly on the USB media, without extraction, and that multiple image files may be added to boot different systems.

Microsoft's PC Health Check app is still the first option to find out if a system is compatible with Windows 11. Microsoft itself does not point customers in the right direction if a device does not meet the minimum system requirements of Windows 11, but there are options to install Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 and other requirements.

Ventoy 1.0.55: bypass Windows 11 requirements check




First thing you need to do is download the latest version of Ventoy from the project's GitHub website. It is available for Windows and Linux. The Windows version is supplied as a zip file, which you need to extract after the download.

Configuration of the bypass is less straightforward as it is when using other solutions.

Here is what you need to do:

Tip: you can download a sample json file that has the correct configuration setting here: ventoy

1. Open the ventoy subdirectory of the extracted zip archive.
2. Create a new text document and name it ventoy.json. Make sure there is no hidden .txt extension.
3. Add the following content to the file and save it.

{
"control": [
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "0" },
{ "VTOY_TREE_VIEW_MENU_STYLE": "0" },
{ "VTOY_FILT_DOT_UNDERSCORE_FILE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_SORT_CASE_SENSITIVE": "0" },
{ "VTOY_MAX_SEARCH_LEVEL": "max" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/ISO" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_TIMEOUT": "10" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_IMAGE": "/ISO/debian_netinstall.iso" },
{ "VTOY_FILE_FLT_EFI": "1" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_KBD_LAYOUT": "QWERTY_USA" },
{ "VTOY_WIN11_BYPASS_CHECK": "1" }
]
}
​

The last parameter, "VTOY_WIN11_BYPASS_CHECK": "1", will create certain Registry keys that will bypass RAM, TMP, Secure Boot, CPU and Storage checks on the machine.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassRAMCheck
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassTPMCheck
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassSecureBootCheck
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassCPUCheck
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassStorageCheck
​

You need to place the file inside the ventoy folder on the first partition of the USB media. Also, add the Windows 11 image that you want to use to upgrade a device or newly install it to the same partition. You can use subfolders for images to keep things organized, as Ventoy will scan all folders on the partition for images.

Closing Words


Ventoy is now another option when it comes to installing Windows 11 on incompatible devices. The installation is not as straightforward, but Ventoy offers options that other tools don't support. You could add multiple Windows 11 images, e.g. a release Windows 11 ISO and the latest Windows Insider ISO, to the USB device and install any of those.

Still, if all you want is to upgrade a device to Windows 11, it may be easier to use Rufus or the Universal MediaCreationTool to do just that.

Now You: have you upgraded devices to Windows 11 yet?

Windows 11 install script bypasses TPM, system requirements

here you are guys

A new script allows you to install Windows 11 on devices with incompatible hardware, such as missing TPM 2.0, incompatible CPUs, or the lack of Secure Boot. Even better, the script also works on virtual machines, allowing you to upgrade to the latest Windows Insider build.

When Windows 11 was first announced, Microsoft released the operating system's new system requirements, which included a TPM 2.0 security processor, Secure Boot, newer CPUs, and at least 64 GB of hard drive space.

As Microsoft realized that many people, especially those in the enterprise, would be testing Windows 11 preview builds on virtual machines, they exempted them from the system requirements.

However, Microsoft is now requiring compatible hardware even on virtual machines and taking a firm stance on its system requirement, going as far as to say that people who install Windows 11 on incompatible hardware may not get security updates.

For those willing to risk running Windows 11 on incompatible hardware, a script has been released that allows new installations and upgrades to bypass the operating system's system requirements.

Script bypasses Windows 11 system requirements
This new script was released as part of the extremely useful Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper, a batch file that allows you to create an ISO for any version of Windows 10, with Windows 11 support added last week.

While the main script of this open-source project is the 'MediaCreationTool.bat' used to create Windows ISOs, it also includes a script named 'Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd,' which configures the device to bypass compatible hardware checks.

When executed on a Windows 10 or Windows 11 device, the Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd script will perform a variety of tasks, including:

Create the 'AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU' value under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup Registry key and set it to 1.
Registers a WMI event subscription named 'Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update' that deletes the 'C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\appraiserres.dll' file when the vdsldr.exe executable is launched during Windows 11 setup.
It should be noted that the created WMI event subscription will remain in effect until you run the Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd script again, which will cause the event subscriptions to be deleted. You can do this after installing or upgrading Windows 11.

Ways to bypass the login theme and signin do not work

Tried setting netplwiz in option 1 step 4 which shows no check in users must enter ..... no bypass of login

Tried step 4 in option 5 below to disable require sign-on on wakeup via policy via registry but still no change on wakeup still getting the screen picture that requires hitting Esc to move to the sign in window which shows a silhouette image, my user name and a sign in button in order to access my desktop screen. Guess I will have to live with the extra steps.

Again thanks for your interest and suggestions.
