Don't think w11 will be possible on my xeon 5670.
Not too bothered. W1s working fine for me, I don't really think about it.
Have been planning to build a new pc in 2022 for a long time anyhow.

You must understand that when YOU buy a part doesn't matter one bit, what matters is the date the product was launched
Thanks...

Because it doesn't have TPM baked in.
If your motherboard has a TPM header then all you need is the module to use windows eWaste.

As a gamer I would upgrade to 11 if there is an advantage in doing so and I hear there is a gaming performance boost with 11, I'll just sit back for a bit and see what happens, nice to know it's a free upgrade as well.
Yup. It seems they're restricting Direct Storage to Windows 11, despite AMD having demonstrated the benefits on Windows 10.

Looks like my two 10-11 year old PC's will need to be dumped post 2025. I am still on AM3+ CPU's as they do the deed and the best GFX card I have is a Nvidia 770Ti, I can see a lot of people switching to Linux because of this if they don't need windows specific apps. I need to start saving money 
same if not 10 can be my new windows 2000 for a few years
The prices on these TPM 2.0 modules is ridiculous on the bay and the rain forest, they were around £15 - £20 but now they are way above. I have a 12 pin TPM connector on my Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 motherboard and I think the best route would be a 12 pin TPM 2.0 module but there is no way that I am parting with that kind of money, it's a scalpfest!
Depending on the CPU you may not need the TPM module you may already have a software based TPM and just need to enable it, on Intel it will be PTT. Failing that, order the TPM from somewhere reputable and just wait for it to come into stock, you've got plenty of time to wait until you need it.
Just took another look at the motherboard manual and the 'Intel platform trust technology' (PTT) was under the heading Peripherals, I didn't even look there, so I'll check that next time I'm on it, thanks for the heads up.
It's Microsoft. When do they ever do anything straight forward?
I always end up back on 7 for any machine I actually need to rely onand that isn't something with a future
10 has some nice ideas but the implementation is often pants on head and obviously ignoring any feedback or caring what the end user experience might be and I don't see that changing with 11. I like the aesthetic style of 11 but looks like it has been borrowed from other people's ideas without understanding the design language and likely won't be unified over the whole OS. Again looks like lots of good ideas but too limited vision or effort in implementation to make them actually great in use.
I have no problems with win10 not being reliable and stable as its stable as a rock for me.., I use win10 todo 3d printing and prints can take a few days to print and Im so impressed that it supports my old SCSSI LTO3 drive... You just need to disable the auto check for updates from using the "group policy editor"

They will likely change between now and release
