It is possible to force entry into the Canary, Dev, Beta or Release Preview channel of the Insider Preview program even on a PC that does not meet the minimum requirements of Windows 11 due to the TPM, Secure Boot or processor – here’s what you have to do.
MARCH 7, 2023 | Updated guide to force entry into the new Insider Preview Canary channel launched yesterday by Microsoft – find more details on the news in this other article.
Enter the Insider Preview Program with no requirements.
Windows 11 introduced new minimum specifications required for the operating system to run – very restrictive. Microsoft has decided to apply the same restrictions of the stable version also to access the Windows Insider preview program, and in particular to the Dev channel where the builds of the new development branch of Windows 11 are currently tested. Therefore your PC may have been kicked out of the preview or it may show the message “Your PC does not meet the minimum recommended hardware requirements for Windows 11“. With this guide we explain how circumvent the new limitations imposed by Microsoft on the presence of the TPM chip, Secure Boot and on the generation of the processor to be able to enter or re-enter the preview of Windows 11.
NOTE 1 | If you only wanted to install the stable version of Windows 11 but your PC does not support the minimum requirements, this guide may not be needed. Therefore, we refer you to the guide to installing Windows 11 without requirements.
NOTE 2 | In some cases, it is possible that your PC is equipped with TPM and Secure Boot, and it is only necessary to enable them in the BIOS. Therefore, this guide may not be necessary. Please refer to this guide for more information on what TPM and Secure Boot are and how to check if they are enabled on your computer.
NOTE 3 | This guide allows you to bypass blocks due to the TPM module and Secure Boot by forcing registration in the Insider channels from Windows 10 or Windows 11. Windows 11 also requires the minimum requirements of a 64-Bit system, 4 GB of RAM memory, and a dual-core CPU of 1 GHz essential for functioning. The processor generation is not essential for forcing entry. More information on the minimum requirements for Windows can be found at this article.
