Continuing from the easy workaround you mentioned, you can then add the Registry edits for TPM, RAM and SecureBoot after installation.

This install version bypasses the hardware checks during installation. Of course, you'd need a Windows machine to do it. In your case, you can create an “Extended” version of the W11 install USB using Rufus with a W11 ISO downloaded directly from Microsoft. Apart from one BootCamp driver*, those Macs run W11 smoothly. I believe you can erase any Bootcamp partitions via macOS, then re-partition and start over to install Windows 10 fresh and then go from there.
I have successfully installed 11 on three different machines that all had Windows 10 already installed (including my 16" MB Pro) using this method. This did the bypass and install all in one fell swoop. I think you just need a Windows 10 ISO and then run Bootcamp assistant.Īfter successfully booting into Windows 10, I used the tool MediaCreationTool.bat found on that GitHub link (go under Code and download the zip) Using this method, I ran the MediaCreationTool program while Windows 10 was running and chose the Auto Upgrade feature.

I believe macOS walks you through how to get Windows 10 up and running if I recall correctly. I believe there are ways to do a clean 11 install using Bootcamp, but I preferred to use an upgrade tool once Windows 10 was already installed. It took me a couple tries to get it right, but ultimately I ended up using Bootcamp to install Windows 10 first. Almost wish I had created a larger partition on the Windows side as I never use macOS much anymore these days. I dunno, I really like it and I boot into Windows 11 exclusively. You can get third party bootcamp drivers for your graphics card, but they are hit or miss I hear. You'll have to wait for those updates to be officially released as part of bootcamp driver updates. Also, there's the issue with bootcamp drivers for AMD Radeon software being a few months behind. Others have reported similar issues with a stuttering effect and their wireless headphones using bootcamp, so there's that. The downsides I've noticed is that running on 2.4Ghz wifi causes some interference with Bluetooth headphones. I used a bypass method to get Windows 11 running and so far I haven't had any issues. The UI is clean and is incredibly responsive and even supports advanced gestures using the track pad. Games on Steam and WiiU emulation via Cemu run very well and haven't had any issues in that department. Yeah I'm running a 16" MB Pro with an i9, 32gb RAM and an Radeon Pro 5500m on Windows 11.
