Windows 11 was launched by Microsoft on 05 October 2021. Most users have started downloading and installing it. To upgrade to Windows 11, you should check the minimum system requirements. TPM 2.0 and secure boot are also mandatory.
However, there are ways to bypass TPM 2.0 and secure boot on Windows 11 installation. You can bypass TPM 2.0 and Secure boot during the installation of Windows 11 by just deleting a single file, appraiserres.dll. That means if you delete the appraiserres.dll from the Windows 11 installation folder, you can easily install Windows 11 on any PC that does not support secure boot or TPM 2.0 chip on BIOS/UEFI.
Those who want to install Windows 11 from a USB flash drive can make a bootable USB flash drive using the Rufus application.

With the default Windows 11 ISO, one can not install Windows 11 on a Virtual machine. After you bypass the secure boot and TPM 2.0, you can easily install Windows 11 on a Virtual machine without any error.
