Upgrade to Windows 11 Without TPM: In-Place Upgrade Guide (Bypass)

Many PCs don’t meet the official system requirements for Windows 11. Most notably the infamous TPM 2.0 is often missing. Don’t worry: with a small fix, you can perform a Windows 11 in-place upgrade without TPM. In this guide, we’ll show you how to bring your system up to date using a CMD file and the official ISO, no TPM required.

Requirements

• A PC running Windows 10 or an older Windows 11 version

• The latest Windows 11 ISO (download from Microsoft)

• The file InPlace_fix.cmd (see below)

• Administrator rights

Step-by-Step Guide

1) Prepare the CMD Fix

Create a new file named:

InPlace_fix.cmd

File contents:

File contents:

@echo off
echo Windows 11 Upgrade Bypass get activated...
echo Adminrights needed!

:: Checks if the skript got executed as an admin.
net session >nul 2>&1
if %errorLevel% neq 0 (
    echo Please execute as admin!
    pause
    exit /b
)

:: Regedit for AppCompatFlags\HwReqChk
reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\HwReqChk" /f /v HwReqChkVars /t REG_MULTI_SZ /s , /d "SQ_SecureBootCapable=TRUE,SQ_SecureBootEnabled=TRUE,SQ_TpmVersion=2,SQ_RamMB=8192,"

:: Regedit for MoSetup - Bypasses not supported CPUs/TPM
reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup" /f /v AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU /t REG_DWORD /d 1

echo Success
echo Pleasse reboot system, before advancing.
pause
exit

Instructions:

1. Open Notepad.

2. Paste the content above.

3. Save the file as InPlace_fix.cmd (ensure the .cmd extension).

Important: Run the file as an administrator.
Right-click → Run as administrator

This CMD file sets specific registry keys that bypass the hardware checks during setup.

2) Start the Windows 11 Setup

1. Mount/open the downloaded Windows 11 ISO.

2. Launch setup.exe.

3. Click through the setup.

Important: Choose Keep personal files and apps to preserve your data.

3) Complete the Update

After the restart, your system should be updated to the latest Windows 11 version even without TPM.

Verify the version with the command:

winver

Just type it into the Start menu and run it.

4) Common Issues

Some users encountered the following issue: during the upgrade process, Windows wanted to install updates. If you select this option, the upgrade freezes and won’t complete.

Solution: Uncheck that option.

Note: This option doesn’t appear for everyone.

Bootable USB Stick

If you still have problems, you can create a bootable USB stick. With this you can also bypass the Windows 11 requirements. Here’s a brief outline for creating the stick:

• After you click Start, you can tick the checkbox to remove all requirements.

• Important: If you boot from this stick and proceed through the setup there, everything will be erased.

If you’re unsure, feel free to request a consultation.

Conclusion

Windows 11 officially requires TPM 2.0—but with a simple registry hack via the InPlace_fix.cmd file, you can elegantly work around this limitation on virtual machines or older PCs. This way you keep your system current without having to change your existing infrastructure.
