Hello everyone, I recently planned to upgrade my old computer to Windows 11, but when installing, a prompt popped up: "This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements", which directly stuck.

I looked it up and found that it mainly does not support TPM 2.0 and the CPU is not in Microsoft's support list (mine is i7-7700K), but the performance of the machine is actually quite good, and there is no problem with daily office work and video editing. I really don't want to change the computer because of this prompt.

I checked online, and some people said that changing the ISO, and some people said that changing the registry can skip the detection, but there are too many opinions, which made me a little confused.

Has anyone successfully solved this problem? I hope someone can give me some advice, thank you very much!
