Hallo,

I wanted to upgrade my system to Windows 11, but unfortunately, my graphics card doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. I've heard there are ways to bypass these limitations and install Windows 11 anyway. Has anyone tried these methods and could share their experience? Thanks in advance for any tips!

What will happen if you do load Windows 11 and your graphics card does not meet minimum requirements, Windows will place a "watermark" on the screen. There are 2 ways to remove this watermark via registry changes.

1.
* Press Windows key + R to open the Run box.
* In the Run box, type “regedit” and press Enter to open Registry Editor.
* Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelUnsupportedHardwareNotificationCache.
* In the right pane, right-click on the SV2 DWORD and choose modify. Then, set the Value data to 0 and click the OK button.
* Restart the PC and the watermark should be gone.

2.
* Type command “regedit” to open Registry Editor.
* Go to ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMSetup.
* Right-click the Setup key and select New > Key. Name the key LabConfig.
* Right-click on the LabConfig key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. ...
* Double-click on the new value and set its value data to 1. Click "OK" to close the window.
* Exit Registry Editor and Command Prompt.

Finally you can take the OEM Windows 11 ISO you can download from Microsoft (so you know it's clean)
Create a bootable USB stick using Rufus
A good guide can be found here: Bypass Windows 11 Hardware Requirements

So you see you have many ways to deal with your request.
It's almost that the stringent hardware requirements are unofficially being eased by Microsoft. They are not trying to circumvent the many work-arounds that folks have devised.

-> Always back up your registry before you make registry changes.

Use Rufus to prepare a bootable flashdrive. In Rufus there are choices to bypass the requirements.
The same thing can be done using Ventoy but it has to be configured.
With Ventoy you can have many ISO's though.
