Why “This PC can’t run Windows 11” check with Checkit tool?

Before Windows 11 announcement by Microsoft, many Windows PC users by not aware of the Secure Boot and TPM module. Now, most Windows users know what Secure Boot and TPM chip is? Now, apart from the processor, RAM, and hardware, to install Windows 11, Microsoft has made Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 mandatory. That means if your computer or laptop does not support Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, you can’t install Windows 11. However, Microsoft is providing a free upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. That means if you purchase a valid product key or you have purchased your PC preinstalled Windows 10 without paying extra money, you can enjoy the latest Windows 11 on your computer or laptop. In other words, genuine Windows 10 users will get a free update to Windows 11.

After a few days of the announcement of Windows 11, hackers have got access to bypass TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to Install Windows 11. That means you can install Windows 11 without the TPM 2.0 chip and Secure Boot. However, Windows 11 is still to arrive in the public domain, which means Microsoft may patch the loophole, and in the future, you will be unable to install them on your PC.
