running windows 11 on any intel macbook

If you are here asking the same question i can help you with it. For starters no mac has a tpm(trusted platform module) in any machine so installing windows 11 seems impossible. The current best way to make a windows 11 installer usb is to either install parallels and use the native windows installer app or use another pc to use the app and make the installer. After that you will need to use bootcamp assistant to download the support software for your laptop then use disk utility to manually partition your drive and format it with a guid partition scheme with the other option being set to exfat, after that make sure to drag the windows support software onto the USB drive after it has been created. After you have completed all of that the solution is to open cmd inside the installer menu for windows by pressing shift f10 to open cmd. With cmd open type regedit and hit enter which will open the regestry for the installer where we will add in 1-3 files so that the installer doesnt check for tpm, cpu age and ram capacity if needed. All 3 are recommended for all retina macbook pros and only tpm is needed for the 2016-2019 macbook pros. Once you are in the regestry you will need to navigate to this folder Hkey_local_machine/system/setup . On this folder you will need to right click and click new key and name it LabConfig. After you make the folder click on it and select new dword 32bit. After that name the new files as followed BypassTPMCheck

BypassCPUCheck

BypassRAMCheck

BypassSecureBootCheck. Not all 4 are needed for every machine only tpm and secure boot are needed for 2016-2019 macbook pros but anything older needs all 3. After the files are made that your machine needs you will have to double click each one and set the vaule to 1. Congratulations you have successfully changed the installer to work with your macbook so you can now close all the windows and click which version of win11 you want and the installer will work as intended as if you had a fully supported laptop.
