Windows 11 introduced several new features and improvements, including enhanced backup capabilities, better tools like the updated Snipping Tool with OCR, and a more reliable system experience with the 2023 updates. Alongside these enhancements, Microsoft eased some hardware restrictions based on user feedback, but your computer still needs to meet the minimum requirements to run Windows 11.
One critical component is the motherboard, which houses key parts like the CPU, RAM, graphics card, and storage. If your computer doesn’t support TPM 2.0—a requirement for Windows 11—you may need to replace the motherboard.

How to meet or bypass Windows 11 requirements?
To upgrade to Windows 11, your motherboard must support certain hardware requirements, including TPM 2.0 and UEFI firmware with Secure Boot. What should you do if your device can't meet the Windows 11 requirements? AOMEI Partition Assistant offers various solutions.
Solution 1. Meet Windows 11 upgrading requirements
Since UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a key requirement for upgrading to Windows 11, you need to ensure that your motherboard supports it. UEFI works with the GPT partition scheme, while BIOS uses MBR. If your system disk is currently using MBR, you’ll need to convert it to GPT.
Windows tools like Diskpart and Disk Management can help with this conversion, but they require you to delete all partitions on the disk first, as they only work with empty disks. This might seem inconvenient, but there’s an easier solution. With AOMEI Partition Assistant, you can convert your system or data disk from MBR to GPT without deleting any partitions or reinstalling the operating system. It’s quick and hassle-free.

Step 3. Click on "Apply" to commit the pending operation.
After converting MBR to GPT successfully, don't forget to change BIOS to UEFI to ensure the Windows 11 can run normally and smoothly.
Solution 2. Bypass Windows 11 requirements
To ensure system compatibility and avoid the issues that come with disabling TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, upgrading to AOMEI Partition Assistant is a practical solution. Its "Windows To Go Creator" feature lets you bypass all Windows 11 requirements by creating a bootable USB. This allows you to use and enjoy Windows 11 without upgrading your hardware, even if your device shows the message, "This PC doesn't meet requirements for Windows 11."
