Prepare For Windows 11....

Apparently there was a leak at Microsoft about windows 11 coming out soon...

I knew windows 10 could not stay for ever hahahaha oh microsoft more crap to go through oh you.

It’s going to be limiting on whether older PC can install Win 11.
It seems currently it will require Secure boot to be enabled, TPM 2.0 & a very modern processor.
I ran whynotwin11 & it has a question mark on the processor as it is Skylake.

 

You can get the compatibility app HERE. Scroll down to find and download it. Four machines here, they all failed on the CPU. Win 11 also marks the end of the road for MBR systems unless you convert to UEFI/GPT. I did that on one laptop but it still failed.

 

Sounds like they are trying to add more spying tools to windows 11 with all the apps they added.And i bet it will be very difficult to remove these apps.No thanks i think i will stick with windows 10.Tired of trying to understand OS systems.I will not be able to use the touch screen system any way so that is kinda pointless.And it seems they are trying to force you to use the microsoft account option with windows 11.No thanks...

 

In all honesty i think it's a wash all ready.Microsoft is basically shooting them self's in the foot again.I bet they will try and force the update like they did with windows 10.

 

Thanks plodr, I did notice Goddess Bastet had used it but I hadn't tried it as MS provide a list of Win 11 compatible cpus and mine was nowhere near. Sort of end of story. From what little I know atm I wouldn't want to use it anyway - I like tinkering so secure boot is an absolute no no, and I don't want to be tied to using a MS account at startup either. Businesses might like it though.

 

But can you actually do anything on it with 1 core and 1 GB or RAM assigned?

Ran the whynotwin11 script and at least the laptop is fully compatible. My desktop may not be, that's only got an i5 9600k in it.

 

My laptop is only 2 years old has fails because my CPU isn't compatible.

 

Mine can run hehe.. I disable my TPM for reasons.

 

TPM is i think required to run windows 11

 

We start to feel old when they announce these updates.

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one having trouble, I thought I would do some beta testing but my main machine (AMD Ryzen 3 3100) got rejected for it.. Which left me scratching my head because I have a Microsoft Surface 2 and while that came up and said it doesn't support it, it still let me download win11 and that's much older than what I have..

Guess I'll be joining the group of not upgrading unless Microsoft waves the TPM2 chip thing as my machine is custom and it never got installed. I have no interest in searching out if I can add one to my machine. I checked the bios and don't have any sort of option to turn it on so I guess my machine isn't supported.. I find this kinda interesting.

My gut feeling says Microsoft is going to wave that TPM2 chip requirement sooner than later, cause by the looks of things a whole lot of people will be missing out.. But I guess we'll just sit and wait to see what happens.

 

@Philipp - THANK YOU .. I was looking for TPM2 but after you said what you did I jumped to the bios enabled it and ran the WhyNotWin11 and everything is green lit.

 

Hey all, My system is compatible, but I will wait until Windows 10 is no longer supported(2025 October).
Especially since the news in Windows 11 is nothing IMHO.
