Windows 7 Installation Without Cd Or Usb

[Jkobe Peoples]

Iam trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11 as Microsoft asks me to do that from time to time. I downloaded the Windows 11 Installation Assistance but it tells me that this PC can't run this version of Windows 11.

Later, I downloaded the PC Heather Check app and it says my PC is missing TPM. I'm really eager to upgrade, but I'm stuck at this roadblock and not sure how to proceed. Has anyone successfully installed Windows 11 without TPM?

If so, could you please share the steps or any workarounds you used? I would greatly appreciate any suggestion on how to bypass this requirement. I'm open to trying different methods or tools to make this upgrade possible.

It is now 2024 and there are dozens of ways to help you install Windows 11 without TPM and Secure Boot, even for very old PCs. I managed to install Windows 11 on a 10-year old ThinkPad laptop (No TPM & Secure Boot) with the help of this step-by-step guide: -windows-11-without-tpm

However, there are some unofficial ways to install Windows 11 without TPM, but this involves modifying the installation media, which can be risky. For example, future Windows updates may detect this bypass and may cause compatibility or security issues. If you are willing to try, I can provide a rough guide of the steps, but please be aware that doing so may violate Microsoft's terms of use and may have an impact on the security of your system.

Step 2. Modify the ISO file: Using some tools (such as Rufus or other third-party software), you can disable the TPM check when creating the installation USB. Tools such as Rufus provide an option to bypass the TPM check when creating the boot disk.

Again, this method may bring risks, including system stability and security issues. If your PC is mission-critical or data-sensitive, it is recommended to consider upgrading the hardware or using a device that meets the official Windows 11 requirements.

I remember one time, I had a friend who wanted to install windows 11 without tpm 2.0 and secure boot. His situation was similar to yours, his computer did not have TPM 2.0, and he also received an upgrade push from Microsoft.

He first tried to find out if he could enable TPM in the BIOS, but had no luck. Then he considered replacing the hardware, but felt that the cost was a bit high and not worth it. Finally, he decided to use a tool like Win-BootMateto try to create an installation media that bypassed TPM check. The process was a bit complicated, and he was a little worried about what problems he might encounter, such as future updates might be affected.

In the end, he decided to take a risk and followed the online tutorial step by step, and finally installed it successfully. Although the system ran smoothly, he was a little nervous every time he updated, worried that it would be incompatible one day. He later told me that if it was really necessary to upgrade the hardware, or considering long-term stability and security, he might choose to buy a new computer, or at least upgrade the motherboard.

I can tell you about a time I helped a user set up a virtual machine to install windows 11 without tpm 2.0 and secure boot. This user was in a similar situation to you, his computer also failed the TPM 2.0 check, but he was eager to try out the new features of Windows 11. He decided to use a virtual machine to bypass TPM check.

First, we chose VMware Workstation and VirtualBox, both of which are very popular virtual machine software that support most operating systems. To ensure everything goes smoothly, we downloaded the official ISO file of Windows 11.

During the installation process, Windows 11 installed smoothly in the virtual environment because the virtual machine itself simulates the required hardware environment, including TPM. After the installation is completed, the user can start exploring Windows 11, and all new features can be used, just like running in a real environment.

Although the system response speed may not be as fast as on a physical machine, especially when running some resource-intensive applications, but overall, the experience was successful. The user was very satisfied with it because he did not need to change any hardware to experience Windows 11.

@KimberlyFords Just tried your solution and it worked perfectly, I would just add since Windows will require a restart after that part is done, to boot on the second start from the hard drive, not the bootable device, got a bit stuck in a loop here for some minutes until I figured it out

To fix this do a custom install without GeForce Experience and drivers, I have 3 Windows 10 machines with various OS releases on them (general and developer releases) and it works on each one of them.

I had newer or equivalent versions of these at the time of installation, so I did not include them in the installation. I felt that I should include this information just in case it does actually matter and help someone.

I have disabled-

GeForce Experience Software (had already installed newer version)

GeForce Drivers (had already installed newer version)

PhysX (had already installed newer version)

Visual Studio Integration.

I had a problem installing CUDA 11 with similar symptoms. (Also, nvidia-smi showed Cuda v10, and deviceQuery failed.) I needed to update Windows 10, update VisualStudio to 2019 then repeatedly uninstall all Nvidia programs. An older DLL NVCUDA64.dll (from an earlier CUDA v10 install) was particularly stubborn, but finally was able to remove it, reboot, then installing CUDA v11 worked ok.

I want to install Ubuntu on my laptop that doesn't have a CD-ROM drive and I have no spare USB disk. I've tried Wubi, but that doesn't seem to work (since it prompts me to have the CD in the drive, which I don't have).

Note that bootmgr is entered as such; that's not a notation for a variable. Also, change refind_x64.efi to refind_ia32.efi on systems with 32-bit EFIs. Such computers are rare, and most of them are tablets. Check your Windows bit depth to determine which binary you should use.

Instead of using WUBI, you can create an additional partition, or use an additional hard drive to write the liveCD image to, using unetbootin.Then you boot from this partition and continue the same way you would as if you'd be booting from a USB or CD.

You can use UNetbootin to install Ubuntu 15.04 from Windows 7 into a dual boot system without the use of a cd/dvd or a USB drive. I am writing this from a fresh Ubuntu 15.04 install using the method below.

Create Unallocated Unformatted free space on the C drive[Control Panel> Administrative Tools>Computer Management>Disk Manager>right click the C drive>Shrink Volume]I believe the suggested space for a full Ubuntu install is 16 Gig, I made 41,000 MB about 40 Gig. Just type the size into the already selected box. The wording MS uses is confusing be assured typing 41000 will make 40Gig free space. click next if it asks to format DON'T Also Do Not assign a letter to the newly made volume.

Run UNetbootin [choose disk image radio button and select the Ubuntu ISO image you downloaded. Make sure that Type: Hard Disk is selected in the drop down. Make sure Drive: C:\ drive is selected in the drop down. Click OK] The program will run through 4 steps and then ask to reboot now...Comply

After you look around a bit you will notice an Install Ubuntu 15.04 shortcut on the desktop [start the install, I think the 4th step of the install shows the main volume with Windows and the free space you created using Disk Manager. [Make sure you click the free space and set it for "/", click continue install] Takes a few minutes then it will reboot automatically. If you don't press any keys it will default to the Ubuntu OS. Let it boot. setup your WiFi look around a bit then reboot when you are ready. Upon reboot arrow to Windows and it will boot Windows 7 boot loader where you will see the UNetbootin is still a choice. Windows will be the default there and allow to boot.

As I stated before I am typing this from Chromium running on Ubuntu 15.04. I wrote all this so you wouldn't be worried about using other partition software such as Gparted or Parted Magic. No need to purchase anything Windows already has a good tool> Disk Manager

You need to turn of fast boot in Windows. You need to turn of TPM and Secure boot in UEFI ( what some people still but incorrectly call BIOS ) to install Ubuntu. You can install Ubuntu ( or another .iso ) if you install e.g. Grub2Win and make it your primairy bootloader. You need to add the option to boot from .iso in the bootmenu.

Then when booting choose the .iso.

Delete all the partitions where you'll install linux. On Windows 7 / 8 do it from "Computer Management". (some partitions are protected, and windows won't allow VMWare to access the disk if they're not removed first).

This answer will explain how to use Windows CMD to boot from the Ubuntu ISO file in the C partition without needing a USB flash drive or creating another partition.

This step is optional. if you don't want to install sudo, you can open cmd as administrator, delete sudo word from any command in this guide, and go to step 2.To install sudo for Windows, open Windows cmd and apply this command:

"gsudo is a sudo equivalent for Windows, with a similaruser-experience as the original Unix/Linux sudo. Allows you to run acommand (or re-launch your current shell) with elevated permissions,in the current console window or a new one."

Save and exit notepad. make sure that is C partition the first partition in your hard disk. if it is the second partition, replace set root='hd0,msdos1' by set root='hd0,msdos2' in the second menu entry.

I need to modify my development environment, a virtual image using Windows 2003 SP2, to install the SMTP service under IIS (6.0). The virtual image is a corporate build, and I do not have access to the installation disc (and going through the corporate channels, this may take several days). Is there any way I can add the SMTP service without the install disc?
