I've just enabled fTPM on my (AMD) motherboard and now get the "This PC can run Windows 11" message.

UEFI with secure boot was already setup.

I use a HPE ML110 Gen 10 server as a desktop and might need to invest on a TPM chip then...

I wonder whether MS warned the hardware manufacturers that there's likely to be a sudden demand for TPM addons, or whether we're going to run into supply issues.

So much for windows 10 being the last version. Also seems to be a bit like going back in time, with Aero type of glass effect and widgets. Is there a cost to upgrade an windows 10 machine? I have seen conflicting info on this. Is this going to be another ME / Vista / Win 8 version, as every alternate version of windows seems to be a bad version? eg (Win XP, 7, and 10 are considered to be good versions)

Third paragraph of my OP: "Windows 11 will be available on new PCs and through a free upgrade for eligible Windows 10 PCs beginning this holiday."

Ruphus:

I've seen a reference to 'drivers being bundled with the Windows OS' a couple of times now. It's important to call out that the drivers included with the Windows OS provide basic/core functionality to get the OS running. Windows devices bought from HP/Acer/Dell etc, include drivers sourced from the OEM hardware suppliers and are installed with whatever bundled software into the OS by the manufacturer.

I'm not sure I understand the purpose of your post.

@tanivula you will need to change to the Dev channel to get the very early releases. They are likely to be a tad shaky.

Looks like my faithful AthlonII X2 260 won't cut the mustard. Time to start saving to buy a new PC in a few years time.

Flabbergasted!

The brand new PC I bought September last year doesn't pass the Win11 test.

1 x ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-I GAMING, Intel Z390, Dual M.2, Aura Sync, Wi-Fi, ITX Gaming Motherboard
1 x Intel Core i7 9700 Processor
1 x Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
1 x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD
1 x ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 Super TUF GAMING Graphics Card (1 x DVI, 1 x Display Port, 1 x HDMI)

Which of these things is the likely culprit?

And my olde HP Probook 430 G3 doesn't cut the mustard either.

But at least I can see that its i5-6200U processor is not on the list.
