🔽 Step 1: Download Ventoy

Go to the official Ventoy website: https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html

• Download the Windows version of Ventoy
• Unzip the archive to a convenient location on your computer

💾 Step 2. Install Ventoy on a USB flash drive

Ventoy does not require ISO burning through third party programs.

The operating principle is as simple as possible:

• you just copy the necessary files to the flash drive
• Ventoy automatically detects them upon boot
• no additional settings required

This allows you to store and use multiple ISO files on one flash drive.

📦 Step 4. Download the TPM Spoofer image

Download the TPM Spoofer image from the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aO1szN18cBXPtQYhFp9DPtlcUgIZSWBC

• File: kiwataka_FereM_spoof_2.iso
• Wait until the download is complete

📁 Step 5. Transfer the image to a USB flash drive

1. Open the USB flash drive with Ventoy installed
2. Just copy or move the kiwataka_FereM_spoof_2.iso file to the USB flash drive

✅ Ready

• No additional actions need to be taken
• Ventoy will automatically prepare the image for use upon boot

🔐 Preparing the TPM before launching the image

This step involves pre-checking and cleaning the TPM. This is necessary for the correct launch of the image and further work.

⚠️ Important: The USB flash drive with the image must already be connected to the computer.

🧾 Step 1. Checking the current TPM hash

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run the command: Get-TpmEndorsementKeyInfo -HashAlgorithm Sha256
3. In the command output, find the parameter: PublicKeyHash (SHA256)
4. Open Notepad
5. Paste the resulting hash and save the file

📌 This hash will be needed later for comparison and change control.

🧹 Step 2: Clean TPM

1. Press Win + R
2. Type: tpm.msc and press Enter
3. In the window that opens, select Clear TPM
4. Confirm cleaning
5. The system will prompt you to restart your computer - agree

⚠️ Cleaning the TPM is a mandatory step and should not be skipped.

🖥️ Step 3: Enter BIOS

After the reboot starts:

• do not disconnect the USB flash drive with the image
• at the moment when the computer turns off and starts to turn on, press the BIOS entry key several times

The most commonly used key is:

• F2
• F11
• F12
• DEL
• ESC

(depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard or laptop)

In BIOS you need:

• Disable Secure Boot

📌 After the spoof is complete, Secure Boot can be returned to its original state, but it must be turned off at the time the spoof is executed.

If the BIOS does not open:

1. Let the system boot completely
2. Repeat the Clear TPM procedure via tpm.msc
3. Restart your computer and try again

🔁 Step 4. Select boot from USB flash drive

While in BIOS:

1. Go to Boot / Boot Options
2. Install the USB flash drive with the image as the first boot device
3. Save changes and exit BIOS (usually: F10 → Yes)

After this, the system will automatically start loading from the flash drive..

3️⃣ TPM Spoof - TPM initialization and spoofing

This step initializes and spoofs the TPM using the prepared image.

⚠️ Important: follow the steps strictly in order, don’t skip anything.

▶️ Step 1: Ventoy Screen

After booting from the USB flash drive, the Ventoy screen will appear.

• Make sure the image you want is highlighted
• Press Enter

⚙️ Step 2: Select Ventoy Boot Mode

The boot mode menu will appear.

• Select Boot in normal mode
• Press Enter

🧩 Step 3: Select System Mode

After a short boot, a screen with startup options will appear.

❗ Be sure to select:

• Compatibility mode

Press Enter

⚠️ Using a different mode may result in incorrect operation.

⏳ Step 4: Load the Environment

The system will begin to boot.

• Don't press anything
• Wait until the download is complete

🌐 Step 5: No Network Screen

A message appears indicating that there is no network.

• This is normal behavior
• Press OK (Enter)

🔄 Step 6. Retry / Scan again

You will be taken to the Retry – Scan again menu.

• Select Yes
• Press Enter

If the transition does not occur:

1. Disconnect Internet (cable/Wi-Fi)
2. Plug it back in
3. Select Yes again

After this, the system will move to the next stage.

🔑 Step 7. Entering the license key

The authentication screen appears.

• Enter your license key
• Select OK

📦 Step 8: Initialize the license

The initialization window will open.

• Select OK
• Press Enter

After this, downloading and configuring packages will begin.

✅Step 9. Completing the operation

Wait for the process to complete.

• A message appears: TPM Setup Successful
• Press OK (Enter)

The system will perform the final boot.

🔁 Step 10: Return to Windows

After the final download, a text message will appear.

1. Press Enter
2. Wait 1-2 seconds
3. Remove the USB flash drive

After this, the system will automatically boot back into Windows.

✅ Checking the result in Windows

At this stage, we make sure that the TPM was successfully spoofed and all changes were applied correctly.

🔍 Step 1: Check TPM Status

1. Press Win + R
2. Type: tpm.msc
3. Press Enter

If the “Prepare TPM” option is available in the TPM window:

• complete it
• wait for the operation to complete

🧾 Step 2. Verify the new TPM hash

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run the command: Get-TpmEndorsementKeyInfo -HashAlgorithm Sha256
3. Find the parameter: PublicKeyHash (SHA256)

🔁 Step 3: Compare Values

• Compare the resulting hash with the one that was saved before the spoof
• If the values ​​are different, the changes were applied correctly

🎯 Result

If PublicKeyHash (SHA256) has changed:

• ✅TPM successfully spoofed
• ✅ All steps of the instructions were completed correctly
• ✅ The system is completely ready for use

🎉 Congratulations

You did everything right. The system is now configured and ready for further work.

You can use the system calmly and confidently 👍
