Fine and nifty ... as far as it goes, but this is a report home that reveals what the end user is running, and at the same time does not actually reveal Win11 requirements to the public at large.

ON THE OTHER HAND, it needs to be out there as the current best advisory of what will run what!

@tangor, Look at the notes and you'll see what a system requires for Windows 11. ;)

Geez, I built this PC a couple of months ago and it doesn't meet Windows 11's requirements? That's pretty wild.

I have a machine with an AMD processor which is not compatible, yet it works fine. Looks like it'll remain on Win 10 until EOL.

Turns out AMD does have tFPM, it's just often not toggled on by default. Flipped the switch in the BIOS and that fixed the TPM compatibility issue.

Secure boot is a little trickier, but I think I'll get there in the end.

Clearly Windows 11 won't be seeing the adoption rates of Windows 10.

@robzilla, i'd be interested to know how you got that tFPM.

I suspect MS is expecting people to upgrade hardware over time.

It was a setting in my BIOS, under Advanced > CPU Configuration. Have a look around yours, it should be there somewhere.

In my case the problem was more that fTPM (I misspelled it as tFPM earlier) just wasn't toggled on by default. But this is my own build, it might be different for consumer PCs.

Any idea why it's not on by default?

I am concerned i might break the machine while messing with the bios, especially as I don't really know enough about it.

No idea. If you don't need it, e.g. to upgrade to Windows 11, you don't need to toggle on fTPM either.

But it's unlikely it'll damage anything. If you run into any trouble, just toggle it off again.

It's different with Secure Boot, that may require a conversion of your main partition from MBR to GPT. Definitely backing up before trying that.

Now running Windows 11, but ended up doing a clean install as I couldn't get the partition converted. Had to switch off CSM (this allows for Legacy boot, which my Windows 10 install needed), toggle on Secure Boot and then boot from Windows 11 install media (USB). A bit of a mess, but it's nice to start over sometimes (if a bit of a hassle getting everything installed again).

Interesting.

I'm still on the fence at the moment.

Perhaps you could start a new thread on your Win 11 observations?
