Windows 11, like previous versions, will run on pretty much anything—it’s just more resource intensive, so older or unsupported hardware might take a performance hit. It’ll generally work just fine even on systems without TPM or with unsupported CPUs like the Ryzen 5 2400G.

Microsoft didn’t validate first-gen Ryzen chips (like the 2400G) for Windows 11 mainly because those CPUs don’t include native TPM 2.0 support. While many motherboards do include firmware-based TPM 2.0—as in your case—that technically satisfies the Windows 11 requirement, Microsoft focused validation on newer CPUs (Zen+ and beyond) that offer TPM 2.0 natively as part of the platform.

Unless this machine is mission-critical and requires official support, bypassing the CPU check should be fine, and Windows 11 will likely run without issue.
