In Symenu
WhyNotWin11 Will give info on what Win11 does not like about your PC
(Ventoy 1.0.86: bypass Windows 11 hardware and online account requirement enabled by default)
If you want to bypass by yourself . . .
* This may be the easiest way.
*** Be sure to have Windows Activation Key ***
cmd = wmic path softwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
(even though I forgot to get the key on a self built and activated PC and deleted I all the partitions during setup, Win11 install picked up the activation)
1. Download standard Win11 ISO
2. On Ventoy (or other) bootable USB paste the Win ISO
3. Also paste this into bypass.reg and place file on root of USB
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig] "BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001 "BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001 "BypassRAMCheck"=dword:00000001 "BypassStorageCheck"=dword:00000001 "BypassCPUCheck"=dword:00000001
5. At Windows Setup screen, press Shift + F10 for command prompt
6. Type "regedit"
7. Import the bypass.reg file - or whatever name you gave it.
(you may need to change directories ie cd .. a few times to find it)
8. PC name can not be same as user name so Remember Name-PC
9. Bypass MS account use email no@thankyou.com and any password
Check activation in cmd slmgr /xpr
(Additional options below)
Install on unsupported PC
Rufus to make Windows install USB
(Rufus has this built in now)
Place bypass.reg in root
Start install
At "does not qualify" screen Shift +F10
Command Prompt loads
type notepad.exe
go to file>open change from txt to all files
on the bypass.reg right click and select merge

Seems to me you may need only Win11.iso on drive for this to work.
Ventoy has built in bypass of all with this json file.
Change 0 to 1 in "VTOY_WIN11_BYPASS_CHECK"
{
"control": [
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "0" },
{ "VTOY_TREE_VIEW_MENU_STYLE": "0" },
{ "VTOY_FILT_DOT_UNDERSCORE_FILE": "1" },
{ "VTOY_SORT_CASE_SENSITIVE": "0" },
{ "VTOY_MAX_SEARCH_LEVEL": "max" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/ISO" },
{ "VTOY_MENU_TIMEOUT": "10" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_IMAGE": "/ISO/debian_netinstall.iso" },
{ "VTOY_FILE_FLT_EFI": "1" },
{ "VTOY_DEFAULT_KBD_LAYOUT": "QWERTY_USA" },
{ "VTOY_WIN11_BYPASS_CHECK": "1" }
]
}
Local Account Setup
At sign in setup page
1. Disconnect internet
2. Press shift + F10 for command prompt
taskkill /F /IM oobenetworkconnectionflow.exe
or
F10
ipconfig /release
or
F10
oobe\bypassnro
or
select "I don't have internet"
or
Use the email address no@thankyou.com.
Type any password on the next screen.
Windows will display "Oops, something went wrong" on the next screen.
Clicking Next opens a screen that allows you to create a local account.
If you want to just upgrade 10 to 11 . . .
Or you could download a Win11 ISO, mount it and run setup. It will say your machine is not compatible but a new folder will be created in the registry.
Edit the registry and run setup again.
