Remove Hardware error for Windows 11
You will encounter an error in the hardware check step. But don't worry you can bypass the hardware checks through the command prompts.
Type regedit in the command prompt and press enter.
navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\SETUP, right-click on the Setup key and select New > Key.
Name it LabConfig and press enter.
Now right-click on the LabConfig key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) value and create a value named BypassSecureBootCheck, and set its data to 00000001. Now create BypassTPMCheck and the same data value of 00000001.
Once you configure those values under the LabConfig key, close the Registry Editor, and then close the Command Prompt window and proceed with the installation.
