Windows 11 [2021]

Not a go for me since it requires a Ryzen Zen+ and 8th gen Core and up.
you can check to see if your board has a TPM slot. I think it requires a newer zen because of the cpu based tpm not being 2.0.

I'm expecting the TPM add ons getting cheaper closer to launch as they become in demand

question about TPM modules made by all the board makers are they interchangeable? physically they look to be eg: can I use an asrock tpm on a gigabyte board ?
To my understanding no, but fTPM is enough and you should be able to enable it on modern CPUs from BIOS


Edit: as for supported CPUs, it should work on older too, the list is just what they guarantee everything works 100%

I tried enabling it this morning on my X370/2600X and several windows components became unresponsive. I could load regular applications but I couldn't go into Windows Settings, Xbox GamePass client wouldn't load, nor would GP games. I couldn't even load the W11 compatibility checker PC Health application anymore.

Curious, everyone I know who enabled it didn't have any issues. Are you using bitlocker or something similar? They might not like enabling it on the fly

I'm running it on a 3700 and a ab350 but the tool still shows i can't upgrade to windows 11.

Apparently they are hoping to have an update on the advisor out today to address some issues.
 
What has those requirements? Where do you see that?
after all the commotion this is causing it seems that they are going to make this requisite an optional one.

yup, from what I read fTPM is let's say TPM in the microprocessor. Ryzen CPUs include it, mine has an option in the BIOS.

firmware, firmware...

I've read it here.

I also have a 3700, dont trust the tool -the tool told me my hardware wasnt TPM 2.0 compatible, but just 'cos I had it disabled in the BIOS-, look for fTPM something within the bios settings.

yea thats all set up for me but it still says i fail to meet the requirements .

They have an update to the tool. The problem is that if you flunk the tools test you wont be able to get 11 through windows update.

is this model the one you have?

specs say. The most difficult part is finding it in the bios, be it in Advanced -> CPU settings or Security..., something along those lines. Also you can always try to update the bios, but you shouldnt need that.

  1. 1 x Trusted Platform Module (TPM) header

I posted pictures of my settings including what it shows when i run the tpm.msc

I'm not sure if i'm failing for this or something else. I think the updated tool will break down the issues better.
 
My buddy, I could help with the fTPM. He also needs the MBR2GPT tool as well as switch to UEFI and secure boot. TPM headers isn't exactly standardized between different motherboard manufacturers.
 
Don't think my 4790k has PTT, can't find the option in the BIOS. Thanks Microsoft.

If your PC doesn't have a TPM chip, or an fTPM solution, you won't theoretically be able to upgrade to Windows 11. I say in theory because, in some reliable and trustworthy media, I have already seen that there are users on the Insider channel who do not meet this requirement and who have nevertheless received Windows 11. It's also rumored that, in the end, Microsoft could make this requirement "optional," so the user could upgrade to Windows 11 even if they don't meet it. You will simply receive a notice, during the installation process, telling you that it is "not recommended" that you upgrade, but you can do so if you wish.

Apparently I had my boot set to Legacy instead of UEFI mode. I disabled CSM and enabled UEFI boot and everything is working fine now with fTPM enabled. Windows 11 compatibility checker confirms I'm ready.

I’m in the insider dev channel, so hopefully I’ll find out soon if I receive the win 11 beta.
 
Compatibility Support Module - an UEFI (Unified Extensuble Firmware Interface) component that runs legacy BIOS option ROMs (in PCIe extension cards like videocards, network cards, SATA RAID cards, etc.) for hardware initialization, and starts bootloader code from the first sector of MBR hard disks, instead of the regular process of using UEFI DXE drivers such as GOP (Graphics Output Protocol) driver in recent video cards, and loading UEFI Shell applications from the filesystem on the EFI System Partition to start OS-specific EFI bootloaders.

In a way I'm relieved to be wrong, if I was right it would have went to my head and I'd have thought I didn't need to work as hard to try and keep up with everything. Live and learn.

Thanks for the correction and explanation DmitryKo, appreciated. :)
