You can use registry hacks and modified ISO files to bypass Windows 11's TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements. However, you should use Rufus instead. Here's why!
Why is Rufus the tool for this job?
Rufus version 3.2 and above allows you to create tweaked Windows 11 boot media. While creating a bootable USB, you can remove 4GB of RAM, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and Microsoft account login requirements.
In addition to these two tweaks, Rufus can also speed up the installation process by skipping setup pages to monitors, disabling BitLocker encryption, and setting up the same language and region options as your current PC. . So you can prepare a Windows 11 boot drive that takes less time to install and set up on the new system.
How to create a USB boot that bypasses Windows 11 requirements using Rufus
First, you need to download the latest version of Rufus from the Microsoft Store, GitHub, or the official website. You should download the Rufus portable version to avoid the installation process altogether.
Additionally, download the latest version of the Windows 11 ISO image file from Microsoft's official site.
After downloading the Rufus portable version, follow these steps:
- Go to the download folder and double-click Rufus to run the tool.
- UAC will appear. Click the button Yes to continue.

Benefits of using Rufus to create custom Windows 11 installation media
Rufus helps you avoid the lengthy route that the Windows 11 setup process forces you to take during the installation process. Confusing privacy and tracking settings take up an entire page, and you have to deal with pop-ups like Microsoft 365 and Xbox GamePass. You need to disable six to eight switches to opt out.
But you can avoid all of this by using the many options in Rufus. If you want to keep the PC name and region settings on the target system the same as your primary system, you can select the check box Set regional options to the same values as this user's and Create a local account with username.
However, you'll need to set up a new PIN if you plan to inherit the same username and region preferences as your primary Windows computer. Otherwise, you won't be able to log in.
Rufus remains one of the best ways to install Windows 11 and bypass Microsoft's security requirements. Once you try it, you'll probably never want to go back to using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool again.
