Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 in One Click 🔥 TPM & Requirements Bypass

Check Why the PC Fails the Windows 11 Check

Windows 10 support ended on 14 October 2025, so a PC that stays on Windows 10 without ESU no longer receives security updates. Before bypassing anything, find out exactly which requirement fails. Run Microsoft's PC Health Check app and read the result line by line: TPM, CPU and Secure Boot are three different gates with three different answers, and a PC usually fails only one of them.

Write down which check fails before you change anything. A PC that fails only because TPM is switched off in the BIOS does not need a bypass at all — it needs one BIOS setting, which is the next step.

Try the Official Route First

A large share of PCs from 2016 onwards already have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot built in — they are simply disabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Enter the BIOS setup, switch on the TPM (it is called PTT on Intel systems and fTPM on AMD systems) and enable Secure Boot, then run PC Health Check again.

If the PC now passes, upgrade the fully supported, official way: through Windows Update, or with the Windows 11 Installation Assistant downloaded from Microsoft's official Windows 11 page. The upgrade keeps your files, apps and settings, and the PC stays entitled to every update. This is always the route to prefer — a bypass is only for hardware that genuinely lacks what Windows 11 asks for.

Or Buy Time with Windows 10 ESU

If the PC still fails and you are not ready to accept the bypass risk today, there is a legitimate middle option: the Windows 10 ESU (Extended Security Updates) programme. Enrolling keeps the PC receiving security updates for a while longer while you decide. ESU is a bridge, not a destination — it buys time, it does not make the PC current forever.

Back Up the Whole PC Before Anything Changes

Whichever route you take next, back up first — properly. Take a full disk image of the PC onto an external drive, not just a copy of a few folders. If the drive is BitLocker-encrypted, save the recovery key somewhere off the PC, and note down licence keys and important passwords.

Set the Microsoft-Documented MoSetup Registry Allowance

If the PC still fails the TPM or CPU check after step 2, the route documented by Microsoft itself is a registry value that lets Setup proceed with an in-place upgrade anyway. Press Win + R, type regedit and open the Registry Editor as administrator, then navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup

Inside that key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with exactly this name:

AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU

Double-click the new value and set its Value data to 1, then close Registry Editor. Microsoft publishes this value with warnings attached: the PC still needs at least TPM 1.2, and setting it does not make the PC supported — it only lets Setup continue. The video above demonstrates its own quick one-click route on a real PC; watch it for the exact on-screen method, and use the order and checks on this page around whichever route you choose.

Run the Upgrade and Accept the Disclaimer

Now run the upgrade from inside Windows 10 so it stays an in-place upgrade: use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant, or download the official Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft's website, mount it and run setup.exe. Choose to keep personal files and apps when Setup offers the choice. Use only the official Microsoft download — never an ISO from an unofficial mirror site.

On an unsupported PC, Setup stops and shows you a disclaimer before it continues. Read it before you press Accept — this is Microsoft's position, in the installer's own words:

If you accept that, let the upgrade run to completion. The PC restarts several times; do not interrupt it, and keep a laptop connected to power throughout.

Verify Activation, Updates and the Rollback Window

The upgrade finishing is not the job finishing. In the first hour, check the things that decide whether this was a good idea. Activation: open Settings and confirm Windows 11 shows as activated — an in-place upgrade from a genuine, activated Windows 10 normally carries the digital licence across. Windows Update: run it manually and watch a cumulative update download and install; that is your first real evidence of how this PC will be treated. Devices: open Device Manager and check there are no yellow warnings, and test sound, Wi-Fi, display resolution and sleep once each.
