bastl Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I guess most of you who tried to test the final Windows 11 build might allready noticed, the installer checks for the presence of a TPM module and enabled SecureBoot. If one of them is not present, the installer will halt with the following error directly after the edition selection With shift+F10 open a commandline Enter "regedit" into the cmd and press enter. The registry editor should open up. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup" create a new key called "LabConfig" on the left side bei right clicking on "Setup" and select new > key ad the following 3 DWORD (32-Bit) entries inside LabConfig on the right. BypassTPMCheck BypassSecureBootCheck BypassRAMCheck Double click each entry and change the hex entry from 0 to 1 After that close the registry editor and the commandline and go one step back to the edition selection screen, select the version you wanna install, press next et voila, Windows 11 should install fine. Doing all this straight after the installer has started on the language selection menue also works. No need to go to the edition selection first. For this to work I used the default Win10 template with a 70G vdisk 4G RAM and 8cores. Nothing else on the template or in the xml has changed. Keep in mind this is only a solution if you want to try the new Windows version. No one at this point can guarantee how long this will work and if a future update will break something. We all know MS is randomly "breaking" things with every update. Some reports say updates might not even possible with this reg tweak in the future, therefore my warning for all those can't await the next Unraid version which propably will come with a fix and an emulated TPM module. only use this for testing Windows 11! Happy testing folks 2 Quote Link to comment
ghost82 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Thank you, I want to add that this can be the solution if one doesn't wan't to mess with installing swtpm in unraid, ovmf with sb and tpm and xml template. Once unraid will be released that registry hacks can be reverted and windows updates will work. 1 Quote Link to comment
