Official Windows 11 pro BETA installation without TPM


This article brings you the simple steps to install Windows 11 BETA version, with dual boot mode alongside Windows 10, on any 64-bit CPU based computers without TPM. I have successfully installed Win 11 pro on my desktop having AMD A6 6400k CPU, ASUS A68HM-K motherboard, 4GB DDR3 RAM & 240GB SATA SSD.
Windows 11 is working on my desktop very smooth without even a small glitch. Existing Windows 10 is also working as is.

Summary of installation steps to have Windows 11 with Windows 10 in dual boot mode: (Please do it from Windows PC)

1. If you are not already having Win 10 USB bootable, install Windows media creation tool from below & create USB bootable.

2. Sign-in to your Microsoft account & download windows 11 beta ISO from here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso

3. Have a dedicated partition or drive for Windows 11, preferably 30 to 50GB.

4. Ensure to have your WIN 10 USB in NTFS but not FAT32.

5. Copy install.wim from "sources" folder of Win 11 ISO to "sources" folder of WIN 10 USB. Delete install.esd from "sources" folder of WIN 10 USB.

This makes windows to consider installer as windows 10 even though you're having win 11 inside !! So, installation won't check for TPM or CPU.

Warning: Do not double click set-up & proceed within USB while on windows 10. Doing so will overwrite exiting window 10 with windows 11. But our agenda is to have both existing windows 10 & a new 11 in dual boot mode.

6. Boot USB from BIOS and select dedicated drive for Win 11 installations.    Win 11 installation process takes up to 45 mins depending on your system speed.

That's all. Enjoy exploring Windows 11 pro BETA.
