Sideface:

 

None of them will accept Windows 11 today - "Standard hardware security not supported".

 

 

Standard hardware security not supported

 

This means that your device does not meet at least one of the requirements of standard hardware security.

 

 

Improving hardware security

 

If the security capability of your device isn't what you'd like it to be, you might need to turn on certain hardware features (such as secure boot, if supported) or change the settings in your system's BIOS. Contact your hardware manufacturer to see what features are supported by your hardware and how to activate them.

 

Likely either secure boot (you're booting legacy or not GPT or similar), or TPM not included on those boards.

Can someone try this in Windows 11 - change your system between Light and Dark modes or vice versa and see if the Start menu fails to respond or takes awhile to respond. 
Also, when opening File Explorer, I get a green bar moving slowly to the right in the This PC section. I do have 13 shared drives from across two NAS's, so maybe this is why, but
does anyone else have the slow green bar?

I read the other day about TPM, and possibly other stuff, is very likely turned on by default by OEMs and unlikely to be turned on by build it yourself types.

 

Thats born out by me fiddling round to get TPM and SecureBoot to work yesterday on my DIY Ryzen PC but everything being already set up on our HP laptop.

I quite often get that green line thing in Windows 10 just in general. Also have quite a few disks.

Bit off topic, but do you have any examples?

Might be useful ?

 

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/10/how-to-upgrade-to-windows-11-whether-your-pc-is-supported-or-not/

 

but I'm sure you've seen it already...

 

 

Installed Win 11 back in July on a non supported PC  using those registry changes in the above  article. Ran  as well as Win 10  but then got booted out of the Insider Program.  Downloaded  the release ISO yesterday  and tried to upgrade from within Win 11 .   Popped up with No TPM2 or Secure Boot. The registry changes are still all there. 

 

Will wait until 2025 or  if the PC dies first and then upgrade to a new one. 





Regards,

Anyone had Windows 11 installed naturally through windows update yet? I’ve already used the insider channel to install on another machine but I’m going to take this path rather than a manual install on my main pc just to see how it goes.

I wonder if my O-Navi Earthquake Sensor / QCNLive Software will work under Win11?

 

The project they are from (USGS / US University) have long given up any updates etc.

 

I was pleasantly surprised it worked under Win10.
