There's a few things you need
Microsoft account
64gb or higher usb drive the faster the better
Rufus
Windows 11 iso

You can now make a live usb to test windows 11
Without having to install it
It also works as windows to go so you can take it and
Use it on other PC
Handy for using at a friend's house etc
It's a persistent live usb
So you can install software, updates etc and they will remain after reboot

It also should avoid compatibility checks so can test
Even if your pc doesn't meet requirements for Windows 11, TPM etc
Simply select windows to go in Rufus drop down menu options
It will even fetch the windows 11 iso for you if you want
Also useful for troubleshooting,data recovery etc
Especially if you're not used to Linux you can have a familiar environment
To try to test or fix stuff instead of trying to work with a
Linux live usb

Played around with it earlier
And it's actually pretty good especially if got a fast usb drive
The first time you connect to a device you need to verify it by emailed code
From your Microsoft account
But after that you don't need to verify
 
Certainly have to agree TPM will be a nightmare
For people who have no technical knowledge they won't
Even know what TPM is
Never mind how to turn it on
Assuming their pc is capable of TPM
Yeah you can bypass the compatibility checking
But only if you have at least a small amount of technical knowledge
Most people turn on their pc and just expect stuff to work
They have no idea how it actually works
 
Guess that's the sort of thing that happens
When massive corporations
Have a stranglehold on something like computers/operating systems
That a vast majority of the world rely on for so many
Parts of their lives now
As for privacy companies like Amazon and Google probably
Already know more about us
Than we know about ourselves
 
Believe I used Rufus version 3.16
Though can't check right now
I also just used the download option in Rufus
To grab the iso of the latest version
If you didn't see my previous Rufus post
It can also make an install usb
You can also use Rufus to make a windows 11 install
That bypasses compatibility checking by selecting extended
From the drop down menu options
 
You're welcome mate
It will take a while to install to the usb
So don't panic if it seems stuck with the icon going in a circle
Wish they would go back to the old show a %
So it's easier to tell if it's actually doing something

TPM wont be a nightmare to end users but it will be a NIGHTMARE to cheaters, hackers and secret spy agents. :)

TPM had been around on PCs since 2000
TPM had been first used on consoles since 2013 with PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X
TPM had been used in ChromeOS on Chromebooks
TPM had been used on all Android phones and Android watches since 2013
TPM had been used on Apple iMac with Intel CPUs since 2006
Apple created their own TPM chip called Secure Enclave which was first used in iPhone 5S with iOS 7 since 2013
Secure Enclave also been used in T1 and T2 chips for MacOS mobile and desktop iMacs since 2017, M1 CPUs since 2020, M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs since 2021.
TPM had been used in TV set top boxes
TPM had been used in network routers
TPM had been used in TVs

Both TPM for Windows, Chrome OS, Linux, Androids, consoles, TVs and Secure Enclave for iOS, iPad OS, tvOS, WatchOS, MacOS all have same security measures.
Click to expand...
I meant people wanting to upgrade to Windows 11 mainly
If you buy a new device with TPM already enabled then that's different
It's a seamless experience then
But people with little technical knowledge
Getting you can't upgrade to Windows 11 message
Even though you may even have a relatively modern pc too
For some it might simply be they need to turn ftpm on
In the bios
But a large majority of users have no idea what a bios Even is
Even some who do won't go messing around in there
For fear of doing something wrong
