Installing Win11 now...

My Parallels VM that has Win 11 doesn't have TPM or secure boot, yet Win 11 installed without a hitch.
 
Im'a skip out...
But maybe....cuz i heard they'll provide free upgrade to 11...

cuz you know....

Win 98 > Win Me > Win XP
Win XP > Win Vista > Win 7
Win7 > Win 8 > win 8.1
Win8.1 > 9 (yes i know it doesnt exist) > Win10
win10 > win11 > win12?

See the pattern? (except the 8.1 > 9 > 10. The cycle doesnt break going straight from 8 to 10...8.1 is still 8...although the good version of 8)
 
The TPM doesn't have to be built into the CPU. It was usually built into the mobo's before Intel and AMD started integrating it. Which just means buying the TPM module and plugging it into the mobo's header for it.

Example of Gigbytes

These used to be SUPER cheap. But now the prices have gone absolutely bonkers because of Win11's requirement announcement.
 
I just tried entering tpm.msc in the "run" prompt and it specified I have 2.0!!!!!

Does that mean I'll be able to run Win11 with my 6700k when it is released???

It means you won't have an issue with the TPM check. So your probably good to go :up:

p.s. People are already starting to write guides on how to bypass the TPM bit. So no worries for those of us without a TPM module or a CPU without it integrated.
 
That would be really cool if that's true. Other than it being older than the 8th gen CPU it literally meets ALL other requirements on their list!

Please note - I did not add any TPM module to my MSI motherboard...
 
Checking update regularly but they are still blocking me on cpu alone. Its the only thing keeping me from trying it out...

*shrug* no idea. Could have just worked in error. Software is still in testing after all.
 
i wonder why Win11 installed on my VM (Parallels on a Macbook Pro M1) when the VM doesn't have TPM and the processor isn't identified as being Intel.
 
I've been having annoying issues on my notebook as of late with Windows 11 after using for the last week.

Nothing serious though, just annoying.

1.) Windows Security Center has to be manually started on startup. Pisses me off, everytime I restart or turn my notebook on I get a notification that the protection is disbaled. And I have to manually enable it.

2.) Entering safemode if a chore. On Windows 10 you just shift click + restart and you are presented with an options screen. Windows 11 you shift click + restart, the PC resets and then goes to an option screen. Then it resests again once you choose your option.

3.) Entering safemode causes Explorer.EXE to crash. Was updating my GPU driver to the 471.22 Hotfix. Got in to safemode only to constantly get an Explorer.exe has crashed errors constantly over and over and over again. Took me a bit to get beyond that point but just left the erorr window open while I ran DDU.

4.) Right clicking to use Nvidia Control Panel or 7Zip does not appear in the tab window. Instead you need to go to MORE OPTIONS to get those options.

Probably more than you ever want to know about installing Win11 on old machines, all the way back to Core2Duo machines.

Lots of reg edits

Edit: Linus implies that AMD/Intel has their part in the official requirements, something to do with driver supports.

A recent Microsoft blog post has corrected the company's earlier statement that DirectStorage, a tech that boosts storage performance to improve gaming, would only be available in Windows 11. Now Microsoft has clarified that DirectStorage will indeed support both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

DirectStorage is a new storage acceleration API, currently used in Xbox Series consoles, that improves game loading times by allowing game data to be transferred directly from an NVMe SSD to the GPU, thus bypassing the CPU.

To further speed up performance, DirectStorage also includes a new GPU decompression technology that supports higher decompression I/O rates and bandwidth than CPUs. That also makes the GPU a better option to decompress game assets.

The only caveat with Windows 10's implementation of DirectStorage will be its older storage stacks -- a set of drivers that allows applications and Windows to communicate with storage devices. This will lead to reduced system performance, compared to Windows 11, but is still better than having no DirectStorage technology at all.

Really thought they would force us into win11 for this.

Anyone using this as a daily runner yet?

I have been using it as my main PC since post #1 of this thread. No Ragerts.

I think she was going for No Rugrats. :bleh:

I use Win 11 Arm64 in Parellels on my MBP M1 for work. There are several programs required for work that don't have a MacOS version, so I use a VM. Namely Visio and MS Project. Absolutely no problems so far.
 
I would probably have Ragerts about posting a pic of Caitlin Jenner (there’s stubble on the neck :cry: ) but…..

I might try this on my ancient gaming pc for a daily driver. You guys think there would be any security concerns? All things being equal (vpn, anti-virus and all) or should I wait? Any compelling reason to upgrade?

Does your ancient gaming pc meet the requirements, such as TPM and secure boot? If so, go for it. The latest build is beta now, so it's probably stable enough for basic use.
