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."

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.




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

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.

Here is a video with some UI elements (and the start sound):

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.

@kiwifidget does it have a TPM chip?

I don't know. How do I check for one?

@kiwifidget

 

This document C152wXbGr+S.pdf (ssl-images-amazon.com) item 3.6.6 (PDF) seems to say there's a TPM configuration in the BIOS. Have you checked it?

@freitasm I've never gone into the BIOS on this PC. 

 

I'll have to have a squidgy round in there after breakfast.

 

But my chances look good right?
