In this guide, I&#8217;ll show you the steps to make it possible.<\/p>\n<p>On devices running <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\">Windows 10<\/a> or older versions that don&#8217;t meet the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-25h2-system-requirements\/\">official requirements for Windows 11 25H2 (2025 Update)<\/a>, Rufus allows you to create custom installation media that bypasses most hardware checks. The utility also includes options to skip the internet requirement during setup, allowing you to complete the installation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/install-windows-11-without-microsoft-account\/\">local account instead of a Microsoft account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ventoy works differently. Instead of creating a single bootable USB per ISO, it turns your flash drive into a multi-boot tool where you can simply copy ISO files and boot from them directly. When using a Windows 11 25H2 ISO, Ventoy automatically applies the workarounds to bypass the hardware restrictions, saving you extra steps.<\/p>\n<section class=\"custom-related-posts-wrapper\"><span class=\"custom-related-posts-heading\">Related<\/span><div class=\"custom-related-posts-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/upgrade-unsupported-pc-windows-11-25h2-without-reinstall-tools\/\" class=\"custom-related-post-item\" data-umami-event=\"related_inpost_clicked\" data-umami-event-name=\"Upgrade unsupported (24H2) PCs to Windows 11 25H2 without reinstall or extra tools\"><div class=\"custom-related-post-thumbnail\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/windows-11-25h2-ekb-upgrade-unsupported-pc-hero.webp?fit=300%2C188&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Upgrade unsupported (24H2) PCs to Windows 11 25H2 without reinstall or extra tools\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><span class=\"custom-related-post-title\">Upgrade unsupported (24H2) PCs to Windows 11 25H2 without reinstall or extra tools<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/download-windows-11-25h2-iso\/\" class=\"custom-related-post-item\" data-umami-event=\"related_inpost_clicked\" data-umami-event-name=\"How to download Windows 11 25H2 ISO file\"><div class=\"custom-related-post-thumbnail\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/windows-11-25h2-iso-download-hero.webp?fit=300%2C188&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to download Windows 11 25H2 ISO file\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><span class=\"custom-related-post-title\">How to download Windows 11 25H2 ISO file<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/create-bootable-windows-11-25h2-usb\/\" class=\"custom-related-post-item\" data-umami-event=\"related_inpost_clicked\" data-umami-event-name=\"How to create bootable Windows 11 25H2 USB install media\"><div class=\"custom-related-post-thumbnail\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/windows-11-25h2-usb-bootable-hero.webp?fit=300%2C188&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to create bootable Windows 11 25H2 USB install media\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><span class=\"custom-related-post-title\">How to create bootable Windows 11 25H2 USB install media<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/rufus-create-bootable-windows-11-25h2-usb\/\" class=\"custom-related-post-item\" data-umami-event=\"related_inpost_clicked\" data-umami-event-name=\"How to use Rufus to create bootable Windows 11 25H2 USB\"><div class=\"custom-related-post-thumbnail\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/rufus-usb-windows-11-25h2_hero.webp?fit=300%2C188&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"How to use Rufus to create bootable Windows 11 25H2 USB\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><span class=\"custom-related-post-title\">How to use Rufus to create bootable Windows 11 25H2 USB<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/section>\n<p>Keep in mind that you&#8217;ll still need a computer with at least <strong>TPM 1.2<\/strong> support and a processor that includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-24h2-fail-boot-unsupported-cpus\/\">&#8220;POPCNT&#8221; (Population Count) instruction<\/a>.
