Windows 11 22H2<\/a> adds even more installation requirements, including an internet connection and a Microsoft account to complete the initial setup. However, you can now use the Rufus application to create a USB bootable media to bypass these and other restrictions.<\/p>\n

In the original release, Windows 11 (version 21H2) introduced higher installation requirements<\/a>, including modern processors, Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage, and on the Windows 11 2022 Update, the company has increased the restrictions even further, requiring an internet connection and the use of a Microsoft account to set up the installation.<\/p>\n

Although these requirements make installation even more complicated, you can use workarounds and tools like Rufus to upgrade on unsupported hardware<\/a> or install Windows 11<\/a> with a local account.<\/p>\n

This guide<\/a> will teach you the steps to create a USB bootable media to install Windows 11 22H2 on virtually any hardware.<\/p>\n
