[something daft already!!]

I fixed the hard drive problem but still my processor being a 1700 is unsupported. I might grab a 2nd hand 3700x and pop it in there.

All green for me apart from CPU Compatibility which is amber.

There's a big difference between WANT and NEED, doesn't sound like they're being advised very well if they're burning money so easily, hope it's a private sector company.

Nope.

You have a TPM module installed? I have CPU amber and red TPM but there is no way in hell I will be paying anything more than 9.99 for a TPM module.

TPM is just a setting in bios on my laptop, was enabled already when I checked. TPM 2.0 listed in Device manager.

Any specific reason for that number? The TPMs for my boards have always been around £13-15...

Enterprise kit has been shipping with TPM chips for about 10 years. Consumer kit, generally not until the PTT/fTPM modules popped up in the chipsets a couple of years ago.

That’s how much they where going for most places before the spike in cost.

How does one apply this at installation time? We need to rebuild the packages?

I vaguely remember you can do this with windows. But I haven't done any Windows admin for about 5 years now.

 

[MouthBoy]

The updated WhyNotWin11 now shows all green for me.

I am sure something will go wrong though

 

[onepunch111]

So does 2600 have TPM 2.0

So does 2600 have TPM 2.0

From
Microsoft:

Insider W11 builds can be installed on systems that don't meet the requirements, which is what you have been seeing.

At final release we will enforce the requirements for new installs. Any existing insider W11 install will not be changed to final release if requirements are not met (nor will those machines get any updates) - we recommend you roll back to Windows 10.

W11 at final release will require Internet to install and file verification will take place. You will be unable to bypass the system requirement checks.

The removed taskbar features are an absolute deal breaker.
1: You cannot customise the start menu with named groups and stuff
2: The taskbar is locked to the bottom of the screen

Other things too but those two alone for me will mean I just don't care about Windows 11. Direct Storage etc will be on Windows 10 too so from a gaming standpoint it's not a selling point either to upgrade to 11.

Or is it going to be a case of just getting used to the fact that you now have to do as Microsoft provides? Day by day MS become more Apple in this regard it seems...

I dunno who told you direct storage will be on windows 11, because it won't. Microsoft has to deliver a software update to use direct storage and 10 won't get itn

Windows 11 only, windows 10 isn't getting it, officially at least (I wouldn't be shocked to see unofficial back porting).
