How to upgrade to Windows 11 without TPM or Secure Boot

Microsoft support for Windows 10 ended on October 14, 2025, which means ordinary consumer editions stopped receiving regular security and feature updates after that date. If you have a computer running the Windows 10, it’s now the time to upgrade to Windows 11. However, if your PC configuration that doesn’t have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0, you won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11 directly.

1. Download Windows 11 ISO file

Please download Windows 11 from the Microsoft official website :

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

If you need a Windows 11 Key, you can get it at Keyingo.com

2. Create Windows 11 bootable media

1. Open Rufus website.
2. Click the link to download the latest version under the “Download” section.
3. Choose the USB flash drive from the “Device” setting.
4. Double-click the executable to launch the tool.
5. Click the Select button.
6. Select the Windows 11 ISO file.
7. Click the Open button.
8. Continue with the default settings after the download.
9. (Optional) Specify a name for the drive under the “Volume label” setting.
10. Click the Start button.
11. Check the “Remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0” option to install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
12. Click the “OK” button.

Once you complete the steps, Rufus will create the installation media for unsupported hardware.

3.Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11

To upgrade your computer running Windows 10 to 11, connect the USB flash drive with the installation files and use these steps:

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Click on This PC from the left pane.
3. Double-click the USB flash drive with the installation files.
4. Right-click the setup.exe file and choose the Run as administrator option.
5. (Optional) Clear the “I want to help make the installation better” option.
6. Click the Next button.
7. Click the Accept button.
8. Click the Install button.

After you complete the steps, the Windows Setup process will start the upgrade to Windows 11. Since this is an in-place upgrade, you won’t have to complete the out-of-box experience (OOBE), and after a few reboots, the device will install the latest version of the operating system.
