Vjerojatno ste čuli za visoke zahtjeve sustava Windows 11 . Ne možete ga instalirati na nepodržano računalo – ono koje nema TPM 2.0 , Secure Boot ili dovoljno RAM-a^(RAM) . Ovaj kontrolni popis mnoge ostavlja izvana, teoretski ne mogu instalirati Windows 11 . Međutim, dobra vijest je da postoje načini za prevladavanje ovog problema i instaliranje Windows 11 na nepodržani hardver. Slično, besplatne aplikacije za virtualne strojeve kao što je VMware Workstation Player Free ne dopuštaju vam da jednostavno instalirate Windows 11 prema zadanim postavkama. Ali možete zaobići i provjere sustava Windows 11 u njima. ^{(Windows 11)}Jesam^(Did)uspijevamo li vas zainteresirati? Evo nekoliko načina za instaliranje Windows 11 na nepodržana računala i na virtualne strojeve:

Kako instalirati Windows 11 na bilo koje računalo, čak i ako ne ispunjava zahtjeve sustava

Prije instaliranja Windows 11 provjerite je li vaše računalo kompatibilno s ovim operativnim sustavom. Da biste vidjeli je li označio sve okvire, pročitajte sve minimalne zahtjeve sustava Windows 11^{(minimum Windows 11 system requirements)} . Ako je tako, nema potrebe da zaobilazite provjere TPM -a , Secure Boot i RAM-a . ^(RAM)Umjesto toga, slijedite sve upute koje smo predstavili u ovom vodiču: Kako instalirati Windows 11 s USB-a, DVD-a ili ISO-a^{(How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO)} .

Međutim, ako vaše računalo ne ispunjava zahtjeve sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} , slijedite korake iz jedne od sljedeća dva načina da biste ga instalirali na bilo koje računalo zaobilazeći obavezne provjere sustava Windows 11 .^{(Windows 11)}

Metoda 1^{(Method 1)} . Instalirajte^(Install) Windows 11 na bilo koje računalo koristeći naredbe za zaobilaženje provjere TPM -a , Secure Boot i RAM-a^(RAM)

Najprije pripremite USB memorijski stick za pokretanje sustava Windows 11 pomoću Microsoftovog alata za kreiranje medija^{(Media Creation Tool)(Media Creation Tool)} ili snimite Windows 11 ISO datoteku na DVD^{(burn a Windows 11 ISO file onto a DVD)} . Zatim pokrenite računalo pomoću instalacijskog diska za Windows 11 ili ^{(Windows 11)}USB sticka. Pričekajte^(Wait) sekundu ili dvije, a vaše računalo ili uređaj bi nakratko trebali prikazati poruku u kojoj se od vas traži da “Pritisnite bilo koju tipku za pokretanje s CD-a ili DVD-a”. ^{(“Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.” )}Učinite to i pričekajte da se učita čarobnjak za instalaciju sustava Windows 11 .^{(Windows 11)}

Pritisnite^(Press) bilo koju tipku za pokretanje s CD-a ili DVD-a

Čarobnjak za instalaciju sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} počinje tako što od vas traži da odaberete jezik, vrijeme i format valute, a zatim tipkovnicu ili način unosa koji želite koristiti. Zanemari ovo za trenutak. Umjesto toga, istovremeno pritisnite tipke Shift + F10 na tipkovnici da otvorite naredbeni redak^{(Command Prompt)} .

Press Shift + F10 da otvorite naredbeni redak^{(Command Prompt)}

Ovaj korak je važan, jer da biste normalno nastavili s postupkom postavljanja, na kraju bi vam rekao da “Ovo računalo ne može pokrenuti Windows 11”^{(“This PC can’t run Windows 11”)} jer “Ovo računalo ne ispunjava minimalne zahtjeve za instalaciju ove verzije Windows.”^{(“This PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to install this version of Windows.”)}

Ovo računalo ne može pokrenuti Windows 11

Da bi vaše računalo zadovoljilo sve zahtjeve sustava Windows 11 , kao što su ^{(Windows 11)}TPM i Secure Boot , ne bi bilo problema. Međutim, budući da vaš to ne čini, da biste mogli instalirati Windows 11 , morate zaobići provjere operacijskog sustava. To uključuje TPM , Secure Boot i RAM ako je potrebno. Evo kako to učiniti:

Nakon što pritisnete Shift + F10 , proces postavljanja sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} pokreće naredbeni redak^{(Command Prompt)(Command Prompt)} . U njegovom prozoru upišite i izvršite sljedeće naredbe jednu za drugom, prema vašim potrebama:

Prvi onemogućuje TPM provjeru, drugi provjeru Secure Boot i na kraju, treći onemogućuje provjeru RAM-a . ^(RAM)Sve bi naredbe trebale završiti s porukama koje vam govore "Operacija je uspješno dovršena." ^{(“The operation completed successfully.”)}Nakon što pokrenete sva tri, zatvorite naredbeni redak^{(Command Prompt)} .

Naredbe koje zaobilaze TPM , SecureBoot i RAM provjere sustava Windows 11

Sada kada ste konfigurirali postavku sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} da zaobiđe strašne provjere TPM -a , Secure Boot i RAM-a^(RAM) , trebali biste ga moći instalirati na bilo koje računalo. Odavde možete nastaviti instalaciju kao i inače. Ako vam je potrebna pomoć oko toga, detaljno smo opisali sve sljedeće korake u ovom namjenskom vodiču: Kako instalirati Windows 11 s USB-a, DVD-a ili ISO-a^{(How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO)} . Nakon što završite s instalacijom, možete početi testirati Windows 11 i vidjeti kako vam se sviđa. 🙂

Windows 11 radi na nepodržanom hardveru

Metoda 2^{(Method 2)} . Instalirajte^(Install) Windows 11 na bilo koje računalo koristeći Rufus

Rufus je alat koji nudi još jednu metodu za instalaciju sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} na bilo koje računalo, bez obzira ispunjava li zahtjeve sustava. Prvo^(First) ćete morati preuzeti Windows 11 ISO datoteku^{(download a Windows 11 ISO file)} i Rufus . Provjerite jeste li nabavili najnovije izdanje ove aplikacije i imajte na umu da Rufus također možete dobiti kao prijenosnu aplikaciju. Ako to učinite, možete jednostavno pokrenuti izvršnu datoteku nakon što je preuzmete, a da ne morate ništa instalirati na svoje računalo.

Preuzmite i pokrenite Rufus

Nakon što imate i Rufus i Windows 11 ISO datoteku, spojite USB pogon kao što je prijenosni SSD ili USB memorijski stick na svoje računalo. Pazite da koristite pogon dovoljno velik da stane u datoteke za postavljanje sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} . 8 GB ili više je ono što se preporučuje. Zatim, nakon što ga priključite na svoje računalo, odaberite ga na popisu uređaja^(Device) iz Rufusovog^(Rufus’) prozora.

Povežite^(Connect) i odaberite USB pogon za Windows 11

Zatim kliknite ili dodirnite Odabir pokretanja^{(Boot selection)} , odaberite "Disk ili ISO slika"^{(“Disk or ISO image,”)} i pritisnite Odaberi^(Select) pokraj njega. U novom prozoru koji se pojavi, navigirajte i odaberite Windows 11 ili ISO datoteku koju ste ranije preuzeli na svoje računalo.

Odaberite Windows 11 ISO datoteku

Zatim morate konfigurirati Rufus da stvori pogon za podizanje sustava koji ne provjerava zahtjeve sustava Windows 11 . Da biste to učinili, u Rufusovom^(Rufus’) prozoru kliknite ili dodirnite popis opcija slike^{(Image option)} i odaberite “Extended Windows 11 Installation (no TPM / no Secure Boot).”

Odaberite proširenu ^{(Choose Extended Windows 11)} instalaciju^{(Installation)} sustava Windows 11 (bez TPM -a / bez sigurnog pokretanja^{(Secure Boot)} )

Zatim odaberite Particionu shemu^{(Partition scheme)} i Ciljni sustav^{(Target system)} . Ako namjeravate instalirati Windows 11 na moderno računalo s UEFI , odaberite GPT particijsku shemu^{(Partition scheme)} i UEFI (ne-CSM) ^{(UEFI (non-CSM))} ciljni sustav^{(Target system)} . Inače, ako želite instalirati Windows 11 na starije računalo koje još uvijek koristi BIOS , odaberite MBR particijsku shemu^{(MBR Partition scheme)} i BIOS (ili UEFI-CSM) ^{(BIOS (or UEFI-CSM))} ciljni sustav^{(Target system)} .

Birajte^(Choose) između GPT ( UEFI , ne CSM ) i MBR ( BIOS , UEFI-CSM )

Ostale postavke možete ostaviti onakvima kakve jesu. Za početak izrade Windows 11 USB pogona, pritisnite gumb Start na dnu.

Počnite^(Start) stvarati instalacijski pogon sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)}

Rufus će vas upozoriti da će izbrisati sve particije na USB disku. To znači da se svi podaci na njemu brišu tijekom procesa. Provjerite da na USB^(USB) pogonu nemate ništa što bi vam još moglo trebati i pritisnite OK za nastavak.

Rufus vas upozorava da će podaci na USB disku biti izgubljeni

Pričekajte da Rufus stvori USB disk za ^(USB)Windows 11 za pokretanje: ako želite, možete provjeriti kako se proces odvija gledajući traku napretka.

Rufus stvara Windows 11 USB disk

Kada završite, zatvorite^(Close) aplikaciju Rufus . Zatim možete koristiti USB pogon za pokretanje i instalaciju sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} na bilo koje računalo koje želite, čak i ako ne ispunjava zahtjeve sustava. Za smjernice o sljedećim koracima pročitajte ovaj članak: Kako instalirati Windows 11 s USB-a, DVD-a ili ISO-a^{(How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO)} .

Kako instalirati Windows 11 na virtualni stroj ( VMware Workstation Player Free )

Najbolji način za testiranje novog operativnog sustava bez ugrožavanja računala jest instaliranje i isprobavanje na virtualnom stroju. To vrijedi i za Windows 11 , Microsoftov potpuno novi operativni sustav, koji, iako je lijep i sjajan, dolazi s mnogo izmjena i također ima svoj dio grešaka. Nažalost, kao što već znate, ima neke strme zahtjeve sustava, kao što je Secure Boot i potreba za instaliranjem TPM 2.0 čipa, što još uvijek nije nešto što igrači besplatnih virtualnih strojeva mogu podnijeti. One koje se plaćaju obično su lakše konfigurirati i imaju više opcija od besplatnih aplikacija za virtualne strojeve, ali koštaju dosta novca. Za većinu kućnih korisnika to nije nešto vrijedno plaćanja samo za testiranje Windows 11. Dobra vijest je da postoji način da se Windows 11 instalira na virtualni stroj pomoću VMware Workstation Playera^{(VMware’s Workstation Player)} , koji je besplatan za osobnu upotrebu. Morat ćete zaobići TPM i CPU provjere sustava Windows 11 , ali kao što ste već vidjeli u prvom poglavlju ovog vodiča, to nije tako teško kao što može zvučati. Bez daljnjega, evo kako instalirati Windows 11 na virtualni stroj pomoću VMware Workstation Playera (besplatno)^{(VMware Workstation Player (Free))} :

Prvi korak za instalaciju sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} na virtualni stroj je nabavka pravih alata. Ponovno upotrijebite web-preglednik za preuzimanje sustava Windows 11^{(download Windows 11)} . Zatim će vam trebati dobra VM aplikacija. Za sada, najbolje VM aplikacije koje dobro rade sa Windows 11 su VMwareova rješenja za virtualizaciju. A ona na koju se fokusiramo u ovom vodiču je aplikacija VMware Workstation Player koja je besplatna za osobnu upotrebu^{(free for personal use)} . Dakle, ponovno upotrijebite svoj web preglednik za preuzimanje VMware Workstation Playera^{(VMware Workstation Player)(download VMware Workstation Player)} . Zatim ga instalirajte na svoje računalo.

Instalirajte VMware Workstation Player 16 ^{(Install VMware Workstation Player 16)} besplatno^(Free)

Sada imate oba alata potrebna za instalaciju sustava Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} u virtualni stroj: VMware Workstation Player (besplatno)^{(VMware Workstation Player (Free))} i Windows 11 ISO datoteku. Dalje, pogledajmo kako zapravo instalirati Windows 11 u VMwareov besplatni Player :

Pokrenite VMware Workstation Player Free na svom računalu. U njegovom prozoru kliknite ili dodirnite "Stvori novi virtualni stroj".^{(“Create a New Virtual Machine.”)}

Napravite novi virtualni stroj u VMware Workstation Player Free

Odaberite "Instalirat ću operativni sustav kasnije"^{(“I will install the operating system later”)} u prozoru "Čarobnjak za novi virtualni stroj"^{(“New Virtual Machine Wizard”)} , a zatim kliknite ili dodirnite Sljedeće^(Next) .

Kasnije ću instalirati operativni sustav

Odaberite Microsoft Windows pod "Operacijski sustav za goste",^{(“Guest operating system,”)} odaberite Windows 10 x64 na popisu verzija^(Version) i pritisnite Sljedeće^(Next) .

Odaberite Microsoft Windows^{(Choose Microsoft Windows)} i Windows 10 x64

Unesite naziv za Windows 11 virtualni stroj i odaberite mjesto mape na računalu gdje želite spremiti njegove datoteke. Zatim pritisnite Sljedeće^(Next) .

Unesite naziv i mjesto za virtualni stroj

VMware Workstation Player Free sada traži od vas da navedete kapacitet diska^{(Specify Disk Capacity)} za Windows 11 virtualni stroj. Unesite 64 GB^{(Enter 64GB)} ili više, ali ne manje, jer je to minimalni slobodan prostor na disku koji Microsoft zahtijeva za Windows 11 . Zatim odaberite želite li "Spremiti virtualni disk kao jednu datoteku"^{(“Store virtual disk as a single file”)} ili "Podijeliti virtualni disk na više datoteka"^{(“Split virtual disk into multiple files,”)} i pritisnite Sljedeće^(Next) .

Postavite^(Set) veličinu pogona virtualnog stroja na najmanje 64 GB

U sljedećem koraku čarobnjaka za konfiguraciju virtualnog stroja u sustavu Windows 11^{(Windows 11)} , možda ćete biti u iskušenju pritisnuti Završi^(Finish) misleći da ste gotovi. Ali nemojte to još činiti jer još uvijek trebate prilagoditi nekoliko postavki:

Kada VMware Workstation Player Free kaže da je "Spreman za stvaranje virtualnog stroja",^{(“Ready to Create Virtual Machine,”)} kliknite ili dodirnite Prilagodi hardver^{(Customize Hardware)} , a ne Završi^(Finish) .

Kliknite ili dodirnite Prilagodi hardver

Ovo otvara prozor hardvera VMware Workstation Playera . ^{(VMware Workstation Player’s Hardware)}U njemu odaberite Memorija^(Memory) s lijeve strane i povećajte količinu RAM-a^(RAM) dodijeljene virtualnom stroju Windows 11 na najmanje 4096 MB.

Dodijelite^(Allocate) najmanje 4 GB RAM-a^(RAM) za virtualni stroj

Ako imate moćan procesor, možda biste željeli povećati i broj CPU jezgri dodijeljenih virtualnom stroju Windows 11 . Međutim, to nije obvezno, budući da mu VMware Workstation Player Free prema zadanim postavkama daje dvije jezgre, što je minimum potreban za Windows 11 .

Postavite^(Set) broj CPU jezgri dostupnih virtualnom stroju (najmanje 2)

Zatim odaberite CD/DVD (SATA) na lijevoj strani prozora Hardver . ^(Hardware)Zatim na desnoj strani odaberite "Upotrijebi ISO datoteku slike"^{(“Use ISO image file”)} i Pregledajte^(Browse) ili upišite lokaciju Windows 11 ISO datoteke koju ste preuzeli na drugu metodu ovog vodiča.

Odredite lokaciju Windows 11 ISO datoteke

Ostale postavke možete ostaviti onakve kakve jesu ili ih prilagoditi svojim željama. Kada završite, kliknite ili dodirnite gumb Zatvori^(Close) u donjem desnom kutu prozora Hardver^{(Hardware )} , a zatim gumb Završi u prozoru ^(Finish)"Spremno za stvaranje virtualnog stroja"^{(“Ready to Create Virtual Machine”)} .

Natrag na nadzornoj ploči VMware Workstation Player Free , virtualni stroj Windows 11 sada je kreiran i naveden na lijevoj strani prozora. Da biste ga pokrenuli, dvaput kliknite na njegovo ime s lijeve strane ili ga najprije odaberite, a zatim kliknite/dotaknite "Igraj virtualni stroj"^{(“Play virtual machine”)} s desne strane.

Pokrenite virtualni stroj

Zatim se virtualni stroj pokreće iz ISO datoteke i učitava čarobnjak za instalaciju sustava Windows 11 . ^{(Windows 11)}Sljedeći koraci su potpuno isti oni koje smo vam pokazali u prvoj metodi iz prvog poglavlja ovog vodiča. Točno slijedite upute i moći ćete zaobići TPM , Secure Boot i RAM provjere u trenu. Ukratko, kada se pokrene čarobnjak za Windows 11 , pritisnite ^{(Windows 11)}Shift + F10 da otvorite naredbeni redak^{(Command Prompt)} i pokrenite ove naredbe:

Naredbe koje zaobilaze TPM , SecureBoot i RAM provjere sustava Windows 11

Zatim možete nastaviti instalirati Windows 11 jer vas više neće mučiti nikakvi drugi problemi u vezi s nepodržanim hardverom.

Jeste^(Did) li instalirali Windows 11 na virtualni stroj?

Sada znate kako instalirati Windows 11 na bilo koje računalo i u bilo koju aplikaciju virtualnog stroja. Sve što preostaje je isprobati Windows 11 i odlučiti želite li ga zadržati. 🙂 Javite^(Let) nam kako vam je sve ispalo i jeste li naišli na bilo kakve probleme pri instalaciji Windows 11 na nepodržano računalo ili u virtualni stroj.

How to install Windows 11 on any (unsupported) PC or virtual machine

You’ve probablу heard of the steep system rеquirements of Windows 11. Yоu can’t install it on an unsupported cоmputer - one that doеsn’t have TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, or enough RAM. This checklist leaves many on the outside, theoretically unable to install Windows 11. However, the goоd news is that there are waуs to overcome this issue and install Windows 11 on unsυpрorted hardware. Similarlу, free virtυal machine applications like VMware Workstation Player Free don’t let you install Windows 11 easily by default. But you can bypass the Windows 11 checks in them too. Did we manage to make you interested? Here are a few ways to install Windows 11 on unsupported computers and on virtual machines:

How to install Windows 11 on any PC, even if it doesn’t meet the system requirements

Before installing Windows 11, check whether your PC is compatible with this operating system. To see if it checks all the boxes, read all the minimum Windows 11 system requirements. If it does, there’s no need for you to bypass the TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks. Instead, follow all the instructions we presented in this guide: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO.

However, if your PC doesn’t meet the Windows 11 requirements, follow the steps from one of the following two methods to install it on any computer by bypassing the mandatory Windows 11 checks.

Method 1. Install Windows 11 on any PC using commands to bypass the TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks

First, prepare a Windows 11 bootable USB memory stick using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool, or burn a Windows 11 ISO file onto a DVD. Then, boot your PC using the Windows 11 installation disc or USB stick. Wait for a second or two, and your computer or device should briefly display a message asking you to “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.” Do so and wait for the Windows 11 installation wizard to load.

Press any key to boot from CD or DVD

The Windows 11 install wizard begins by asking you to choose the language, time, and currency format, and then the keyboard or input method you’d like to use. Ignore this for the moment. Instead, simultaneously press the Shift + F10 keys on your keyboard to open Command Prompt.

Press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt

This step is important, because if you would’ve continued the setup process normally, it would have eventually told you that “This PC can’t run Windows 11” because “This PC doesn’t meet the minimum requirements to install this version of Windows.”

This PC can't run Windows 11

If your PC would have met all the Windows 11 system requirements, like TPM and Secure Boot, there wouldn’t have been any problem. However, because yours doesn’t, to be able to install Windows 11, you need to bypass the operating system’s checks. That includes TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM if you need to. Here’s how to do that:

After pressing Shift + F10, the Windows 11 setup process launches Command Prompt. In its window, type and execute the following commands one after the other, according to your needs:

The first one disables the TPM check, the second one the Secure Boot check, and finally, the third disables the RAM verification. All the commands should end with messages telling you “The operation completed successfully.” After you run all three of them, close the Command Prompt.

The commands that bypass Windows 11's TPM, SecureBoot, and RAM checks

Now you’ve configured the Windows 11 setup to bypass the dreaded TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks, you should be able to install it on any computer. From here on, you can continue the installation as you normally would. If you need help with it, we’ve detailed all the next steps in this dedicated guide: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO. After you finish installing it, you can start testing Windows 11 and see how you like it. 🙂

Windows 11 running on unsupported hardware

Method 2. Install Windows 11 on any PC using Rufus

Rufus is a tool that offers yet another method to install Windows 11 on any computer, regardless of whether it meets the system requirements. First, you’ll need to download a Windows 11 ISO file and also Rufus. Ensure that you get the latest edition of this app, and keep in mind that you can also get Rufus as a portable app. If you do that, you can simply run the executable file after you download it, without having to install anything on your computer.

Download and run Rufus

Once you have both Rufus and the Windows 11 ISO file, connect a USB drive such as a portable SSD or USB memory stick to your computer. Be careful to use a drive large enough to fit the Windows 11 setup files. 8GB or more is what’s recommended. Then, after you plug it into your PC, select it in the Device list from Rufus’ window.

Connect and select the USB drive for Windows 11

Then, click or tap on Boot selection, choose “Disk or ISO image,” and press Select next to it. In the new window that shows up, navigate and select the Windows 11 or ISO file that you downloaded earlier on your PC.

Select the Windows 11 ISO file

Next, you need to configure Rufus to create a bootable drive that doesn’t check for Windows 11’s system requirements. To do so, in Rufus’ window, click or tap on the Image option list and select “Extended Windows 11 Installation (no TPM / no Secure Boot).”

Choose Extended Windows 11 Installation (no TPM / no Secure Boot)

Next, select the Partition scheme and Target system. If you intend to install Windows 11 on a modern computer with UEFI, select the GPT Partition scheme and UEFI (non-CSM) Target system. Otherwise, if you want to install Windows 11 on an older computer that still uses BIOS, choose the MBR Partition scheme and BIOS (or UEFI-CSM) Target system.

Choose between GPT (UEFI, non CSM) and MBR (BIOS, UEFI-CSM)

You can leave the other settings as they are. To start building the Windows 11 USB drive, press the Start button at the bottom.

Start creating the Windows 11 installation drive

Rufus will warn you that it will erase all the partitions on the USB drive. That means that all the data on it is being deleted during the process. Ensure you don’t have anything on the USB drive that you might still need and press OK to continue.

Rufus warns you that the data on the USB drive will be lost

Wait for Rufus to create the bootable Windows 11 USB drive: if you want, you can check how the process is going by looking at the progress bar.

Rufus creates the Windows 11 USB drive

When done, Close the Rufus application. Then, you can use the USB drive to boot and install Windows 11 on any computer you like, even if it doesn’t meet the system requirements. For guidance on the next steps, read this article: How to install Windows 11 from USB, DVD, or ISO.

How to install Windows 11 on a virtual machine (VMware Workstation Player Free)

The best way to test a new operating system without putting your computers at risk is to install and try it on a virtual machine. That’s also true when it comes to Windows 11, Microsoft’s brand new operating system, which, although nice and shiny, comes with plenty of changes and also has its share of bugs. Unfortunately, as you already know, it has some steep system requirements, like Secure Boot and the need for a TPM 2.0 chip being installed, which is not something free virtual machine players can handle yet. Paid ones are usually easier to configure and have more options than free virtual machine apps, but they cost quite a lot of money. For most home users, that’s not something worth paying just to test Windows 11. The good news is that there is a way to install Windows 11 on a virtual machine using VMware’s Workstation Player, which is free for personal use. You will need to bypass the TPM and CPU checks of Windows 11, but as you’ve already seen in the first chapter of this guide, it is not as hard as it may sound. Without further ado, here’s how to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine using VMware Workstation Player (Free):

The first step to installing Windows 11 on a virtual machine is to get the right tools. Use your web browser again to download Windows 11. Then, you’ll need a good VM application. For now, the best VM apps that work well with Windows 11 are VMware’s virtualization solutions. And the one that we focus on in this guide is the VMware Workstation Player app that’s free for personal use. So, use your web browser again to download VMware Workstation Player. Then, install it on your computer.

Install VMware Workstation Player 16 Free

You now have both tools required to install Windows 11 in a virtual machine: VMware Workstation Player (Free) and the Windows 11 ISO file. Next, let’s see how to actually install Windows 11 in VMware’s free Player:

Fire up VMware Workstation Player Free on your computer. In its window, click or tap on “Create a New Virtual Machine.”

Create a new virtual machine in VMware Workstation Player Free

Choose “I will install the operating system later” in the “New Virtual Machine Wizard” window, and then click or tap on Next.

I will install the operating system later

Select Microsoft Windows under “Guest operating system,” choose Windows 10 x64 in the Version list, and press Next.

Choose Microsoft Windows and Windows 10 x64

Enter a name for the Windows 11 virtual machine and choose the folder location on your computer where you want to save its files. Then, press Next.

Enter a name and a location for the virtual machine

VMware Workstation Player Free now asks you to Specify Disk Capacity for the Windows 11 virtual machine. Enter 64GB or more, but not less, as this is the minimum free disk space required by Microsoft for Windows 11. Then, choose whether you want to “Store virtual disk as a single file” or “Split virtual disk into multiple files,” and press Next.

Set the size of the virtual machine drive to at least 64GB

On the next step of the Windows 11 virtual machine configuration wizard, you might be tempted to press Finish thinking you’re done. But don’t do that yet, as you still need to adjust a few settings:

When VMware Workstation Player Free says that it’s “Ready to Create Virtual Machine,” click or tap on Customize Hardware, not on Finish.

Click or tap on Customize Hardware

This opens VMware Workstation Player’s Hardware window. In it, select Memory on the left and increase the amount of RAM allocated to the Windows 11 virtual machine to at least 4096MB.

Allocate at least 4GB of RAM for the virtual machine

If you have a powerful processor, you might also want to increase the number of CPU cores allocated to the Windows 11 virtual machine. However, that’s not mandatory, as VMware Workstation Player Free gives it two cores by default, which is the minimum required by Windows 11.

Set the number of CPU cores available to the virtual machine (at least 2)

Next, select CD/DVD (SATA) on the left of the Hardware window. Then, on its right side, select “Use ISO image file” and Browse or type the location of the Windows 11 ISO file you downloaded on method two of this guide.

Specify the location of the Windows 11 ISO file

You can leave the other settings as they are or customize them to your liking. Once you’re done, click or tap the Close button from the bottom-right corner of the Hardware window and then the Finish button from the “Ready to Create Virtual Machine” window.

Back on the dashboard of VMware Workstation Player Free, the Windows 11 virtual machine is now created and listed on the left side of the window. To start it, double-click on its name on the left, or select it first and then click/tap on “Play virtual machine” on the right.

Start the virtual machine

Then, the virtual machine starts from the ISO file and loads the Windows 11 installation wizard. The next steps are exactly the same ones we’ve shown you in the first method from the first chapter of this guide. Follow the instructions exactly, and you’ll be able to bypass the TPM, Secure Boot, and RAM checks in no time. In short, when the Windows 11 wizard launches, press Shift + F10 to open Command Prompt and run these commands:

The commands that bypasses Windows 11's TPM, SecureBoot, and RAM checks

Then, you can continue to install Windows 11, as you won’t be bothered by any other issues regarding unsupported hardware anymore.

Did you install Windows 11 on a virtual machine?

Now you know how to install Windows 11 on any computer and in any virtual machine application. So all there’s left to do is try Windows 11 and decide whether you want to keep it. 🙂 Let us know how it all worked out for you and whether you encountered any issues installing Windows 11 on an unsupported computer or in a virtual machine.
