The installation is not as straightforward, but Ventoy offers options that other tools don't support. Ventoy is now another option when it comes to installing Windows 11 on incompatible devices. You can use subfolders for images to keep things organized, as Ventoy will scan all folders on the partition for images. Also, add the Windows 11 image that you want to use to upgrade a device or newly install it to the same partition. You need to place the file inside the ventoy folder on the first partition of the USB media.

Microsoft itself does not point customers in the right direction if a device does not meet the minimum system requirements of Windows 11, but there are options to install Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 and other requirements. Microsoft's PC Health Check app is still the first option to find out if a system is compatible with Windows 11. What sets Ventoy apart from most solutions, including Rufus and Universal MediaCreationTool, is that it places image files directly on the USB media, without extraction, and that multiple image files may be added to boot different systems. The program can be used to created bootable USB media from a variety of image formats, including ISO, WIM, IMG and VHD. Ventoy 1.0.55 is available already for download. The latest version of the open source tool Ventoy supports an option to bypass the Windows 11 requirements check during installation of the operating system.
