Yeah, that registry tweak is the way to go. Just be sure to back up anything important first, since bypassing the checks can be a little unpredictable.

Yeah, You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to bypass some of the installer checks. Another option is checking if your motherboard has a TPM setting you need to enable in the BIOS.

This. You could also look into using a registry edit to bypass the CPU and TPM checks, but that's not officially supported. Hope that helps.

You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to do a clean install instead of the upgrade path.

Yeah, that clean install route is usually smoother. Just make sure to back up anything important first.

This. Agreed, backing up is key. Also, double-check your BIOS settings for TPM and Secure Boot before you try again.
