No Windows 11 for me

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

According to the windows11 PC Health check, none of my current computers (latest, HP only two YO) don't comply to their requirements.
No TMP?? and the Intel processor not accepted!!!

??? What processor do they want you to have?

Make sure you check your bios. Some bioses have a setting to turn on virtual TPM.

Your not missing anything by the looks of it:

[sharkbite]

you ARE able to bypass the TPM requirement....

this comes with a few risks and other downsides though...

Seems my i7 isn't cutting it either. MS is trying to force people into buying new systems - ain't gonna happen here.


I'll keep running 10 on this and 7 on the imaging laptop. We all know the OS doesn't stop working. By 2025 when updates for 10 expire, perhaps I'll have a new system (my Win7 machine is older than my second born child and my Win 10 is 5 years old)


Here's what the check said:

All of my machines are eligible :p

I will be installing it on my Plex server this weekend as a test , then rolling it out to other machines over the space of a few weeks (keeping an eye on updates/bug fixes)

edit: whoops... not all of them! Turns out the AstroNuc isn't.
That's cool, I'll keep that on Windows 10 anyway, and maybe look at an Eagle in the next year. Hopefully they will be updated with W11 and more stable software support.

My I7 is from 2010 and still running Win7. I don't think I'm eligible either.

What is a TPM chip and how does it work?

A TPM (aka trusted platform module chip) is a cryptoprocessor that secures a computer through an integrated cryptographic key. Its main function is to prevent hackers from accessing your computer and leaking your data.
The chip is necessary to run Windows 11, as Microsoft wants to put more focus on safety and keeping its platforms secure.
A TPM is generally either integrated into the motherboard or added manually to the CPU. The likes of AMD and Intel have made sure all their modern processors pack this technology, but it could be absent if you’re using a chip from a few years back.
When you log into your computer, the TPM will supply a unique code called a cryptographic key and if there’s no detected issue, your computer will start up as normal. If your PC’s security is compromised, however, the computer will lock down to prevent hackers gaining access.

So what you are saying is that the slightest little hic up will lock you out, and if that is the case how dose one solved that hic up, when one is actually locked out.

Do you do your banking on your laptop? I wouldn't want to do my banking on a compromised machine.

No of coarse not, I,m sure there is a way, just asking, that's all.

Apparently any processor has to be Gen8, (2017 or later) the latest I7 I have is Gen 6, Microsoft shoots themselves in the foot yet again.... On the plus side when they stop support for Win 10 we’ll at least be free of those pesky unscheduled updates.

Why's that?
On the contrary, this is very good for Microsoft.
Windows 10 will still be there. The fact that they aren't making this mandatory is good. It means they can finally draw a line in the sand on older processor architecture and start supporting modern platforms.

Windows 11 will only be supported on more modern hardware. Likely the older Intel stuff is because of the Meltdown/Spectre issues as much as anything, which was fixed only in the past few years. AMD were susceptible to it as well with Gen 1 Ryzen which is why that family is also excluded.
