 If you cannot enable vTPM, bypass the check during installation:

  1. When you see the error, press SHIFT + F10 to open the Command Prompt.
  2. Type regedit and press Enter.
  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup.
  4. Right-click Setup, select New > Key, and name it LabConfig.
  5. Inside LabConfig, create three DWORD (32-bit) values:
    • BypassTPMCheck -> Set to 1
    • BypassSecureBootCheck -> Set to 1
    • BypassCPUCheck -> Set to 1.
  6. Close the editor and Command Prompt, then proceed with installation.
