So no tpm needed then

Not for the start of the release previews.

EDIT: actually I think it does.

How to get the first public preview of Windows 11 | Windows Central

Can we download the iso? Cant seem to find it. Thanks.

Looks like it's just OTA.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Are there are any downsides to using the firmware TPM? I ask as I'll probably end up doing this.

Nope TPM is TPM.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Apparently my X570 Unify only has a TPM header? no chance I'm spending money to upgrade to newer Windows OS.

You would have done this anyway buying a new OS right?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

So how did Microsoft go from "no major Window releases anymore" to Linus/the whole internet grabbing a copy before release to this whole TPM/strict requirements debacle ?

Fake news, speculation and chatter chatter.

Apparently the only checks it does is in the installer. If you copy the install.wim from a windows 11 ISO to a Windows 10 ISO it installs without the extra checks.

It's also been tested with a VM image from Hyper-V - cloned that image to a drive and booted.

Both above works.

I'm not referring to W11 insider builds as they are known to have been loosened up on spec requirements.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Has anyone actually gamed on this yet ?

It's just windows 10 with a new theme.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Open to any other suggestions (would rather not blat it, just yet)

Why it's a test bed right? you not supposed to install it on a main machine in production

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Sadly UUP wasn't able to download the files (tried both the cumulative update and the straight 220000.51) when I ran the compiler :/

Was trying to find a way to fix it, rather than nuke it.

Have now nuked it and it's broken my Insider account :'(

This is what happens when people test things and this is why Microsoft release builds early.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

I have too much installed todo a fresh install.. It would be too tedious and would take too long

Therefore don’t install it on a primary machine unless you plan on having little installs or data as you will only need to do it again when the time comes unless you are testing and giving back reports to Microsoft.

"They're only interested in new PC's because thats where they get their money". Oopsie.

That sounds about right. Why should they support free stuff. It’s what Apple do right?

They not bothered about the back lash.

All I can say is 3rd party start menu's, please hurry up, M$ get worse with the design.

Might as well stop on windows 10

 

[Deleted member 77746]

It's easy to bypass all this TPM and minimum spec nonsense, just replace the install.esd/install.wim on a Windows 10 install USB with the install.esd from the Windows 11 Pro Build 22000.51 x64 ISO. Then simply use the Win 10 installer. (I used Ghost Spectre 2009.21H1.X64.GHOSTSPECTRE.(W).ISO)
(No need to convert the install.esd/install.wim like some online guides suggest!)


Latest build:





StartIsBack++ should be compatible soon if not already (not had a chance to test it)

You do realize that Microsoft has stripped the requirements in the first release candidate don't you?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Yeah I hope there will be a way to get the win7 startmenu on 11

Someone will bring out a theme they always do.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Think I'm going to re enable Windows 10 start menu, the 11 start menu isn't useful at all, it's just recent documents + list of programs, no organisation what so evoh.

So you might as well just have left yourself on 10.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

They made that mistake before. Lets hope they don't do it again.

They will.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Anyone else have a Linux icon/link in Explorer? Not sure why......

That isn't just on windows 11, happens on windows 10. Do you have hyper-V or WSL installed?

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Ah, yes, I have both installed. Never noticed it before on Windows 10, perhaps did not have WSL .....

Dont think I need them at the moment, will remove see if the icon goes.

I think the icon appears when you install Linux from app store. Make sure you remove that as well.

 

[Deleted member 77746]

You either upgrade or you don't. I won't be.
