How to Bypass TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on Windows 11 ISO?

How do I Bypass TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on Windows 11 ISO? Windows 11 may finally arrive this year in November, and most users have started installing it on their PC. Among the different minimum system requirements of Windows 11, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 is compulsory. However, there are ways to bypass Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 on Windows 11’s installation. It is even possible to bypass Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 during the installation of Windows 11 by just deleting a single file, appraiserres.dll. That means if you delete the appraiserres.dll from Windows 11 installation folder, you can easily install Windows 11 on any PC that does not have Secure Boot or TPM 2.0 chip on BIOS/UEFI. Those users who want to install Windows 11 from a USB flash drive can make a bootable USB flash drive using the Rufus utility.

In this gearupwindows article, we will guide you on modifying the Windows 11 ISO so that you can mount the ISO file and install Windows 11 on a VirtualBox. Oracle VM VirtualBox does not support Secure Boot and TPM modules, so with the default Windows 11 ISO, you can not install Windows 11 on a virtual machine. Once you bypass the Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, you can install Windows 11 on a VirtualBox without any error.

  1. Hello,

    I was able to install windows 11 on virtualbox
    But, now the updates are failing and they are giving the exact same reasons mentioned above.
    Could you tell how can we bypass the errors during the updates?

    Thank you so much

  2. Dear Hemant,

    As of now, Windows 11 updates are available for only those users who have installed it on a computer where TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot exist. Till now, VirtualBox does not support this feature; however, they are working on this. Till the update, we need to wait. If you want to keep updated your virtual machine, you need to download the latest OS from the Microsoft server and then reinstall it.

    If your computer supports Hyper-V technology, then you can install Windows 11 on your PC, and then you can update your PC as usual. For procedures, refer https://gearupwindows.com/how-to-install-windows-11-using-hyper-v-in-windows-10/

    Thanks.

  3. Worked very well on a 2008 laptop so tried with the latest version 22H2 but not working on that version – maybe Microsoft has added another file to this version
