Trying to install Windows 11, but not meeting requirements?

The error that prevents the computer from running Windows 11 is due to not meeting the minimum system requirements.
You can refer to the following table:
Processor | 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC). |
TPM | Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. Check here for instructions on how your PC might be enabled to meet this requirement. |
Storage | 64 GB or larger storage device Note: See below under “More information on storage space to keep Windows 11 up-to-date” for more details. |

If you are trying to run Windows 11 on Hyper-v the default Generation 2 Virtual Machines does NOT meet the requirement.
You will need to modify the following configuration for Processor and TPM to accommodate the required configuration.
Processor | 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC). |
TPM | Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. Check here for instructions on how your PC might be enabled to meet this requirement. |
