Microsoft is doing everything possible to worsen updates to Windows 11. Despite offering an “alternative” to those who do not have compatible hardware, the technology is now punishing users who install the operating system by unofficial methods. Those who venture to use third -party tools will find a malware alert.
According to a report of NEWIN, Microsoft is blocking the Windows 11 facilities through Flyby11. This tool allows system requirements to be skipped, such as TPM or Secureboot, ensuring a successful update in old equipment. Apparently this did not like the Redmond giant, who He decided to catalog her as malware in Microsoft Defender.
A Update in the Flyby11 repository in Github warn about The virus alert in Windows.
“The application is now marked as PUA: Win32/Patchr by Microsoft Defender. You can ignore this in a safe way if you want to continue the update. I will contact Microsoft to check if it is an official classification or a false positive,” said Belim, developer in charge of the tool.
According to The definition of Microsoft Security IntelligencePua: Win32/Patcher is A low reputation application “That can affect the quality of your computer experience.” If you use another antivirus such as Avira, Sophos or Eset, the tool is likely to be identified with another name but has the same description.
Microsoft closes the door to the external tricks to install Windows 11
The strategy of cataloging as malware to third -party tools is not the only change. Microsoft also updated Windows 11 to Eliminate a text that opened the door to install the operating system in non -compatible computers. In this section, the technological one warned about the risks of skipping TPM 2.0, however, offered help by creating registration keys to overcome the check.
“Microsoft recommends not installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the minimum requirements of the Windows 11 system. If you decide to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements and recognizes and understands the risks, you can create the following registration key values and omit the verification of TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2) and the family model are required.
- Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ SETUP \ MOSTUP
- Name: AllowitjunsupportpMorcpu allowitSUPportesUsUPortPort
- Type: Reg_DWord
- Value: 1
Note: Serious problems may occur if you modify the registration incorrectly through the registration editor or by another method. These problems may require the reinstatement of the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify registration at your own risk. “
Although Microsoft’s strategy is questionable, it is worth mentioning that they exist Some unofficial Windows 11 installers that could put your computer at risk. Many recommend Tiny11 or other reduced versions that do not have a website and are downloaded from the Internet Archive. However, no one knows what services or background applications will be installed in the final version.
If you do not want to update by the traditional route, You can always use Rufus.

With those two components and a USB of 16 GB, the most complex part of migration is resolved.
