Check if your PC is compatible with the Microsoft Windows 11 tool

Ayyy.. it's that Tom person again.

Could never figure out the reason for being blocked, he must have used a chain block at some point and I was caught in it.

Spoiler

I can see custom cracked versions of Windows 11 being very popular thanks to Microsoft.

 

Yeah, I just kinda laughed as I scrolled through the list of supported processors.... My son's i5 6600K isn't supported.... There's no real technical reason for lack of support, other than the TPM issue, so it should be compatible with a TPM module (which I actually have installed). I guess the devs at MS just aren't that bright....

I'm jumping on first chance to install it....

My R5 1600AE supported fTPM 1.2.....same as my R5 2600....but R5 1600 isn't "supported" The R5 1600AF also supports fTPM1.2, but also isn't "supported".... MS failed on this one.

 

What a great way to unveil an OS. Disappointing the people who actually bought their hardware too.

Given how buggy windows 10 has been the past few years, I dread being forced to stay on it as they will neglect to fix issues. The next time they break video game performance they may just tell you to upgrade instead. The 2019 and 2020 versions all had glitched aero snap and hadn't been fixed when I last tested it (21H1) and task manager has forgotten how to sort alphabetically under the processes tab in 1809. There's also changes like removing the ribbon in explorer and reducing it to a toolbar (what's old is new again) with a lot less number of functions readily available according to their own marketing material. ffs ... the next time they bs about being feedback driven!

It's not even an issue. Intel PTT is enough and is on even older platforms. They're perfectly compatible if a bios option were available to turn on but they and their partners would rather go the forced obsolescence route.

 

to be honest there kinda is a reason, at least the only one i could think of that is reasonable..
7th gen intel was 2017
Ryzen 1st Gen was 2017

Spectre/Meltdown Januar 2018

8th Gen Intel 2018
Ryzen 2th Gen 2018

if you now take into consoderation there where changes made in the security and also the Windows 11 TPM requirement , it makes a lot more sense.. That would also explain why an 8th gen dual core (minimum requirements) is "safer" or prefeered to, an 7th gen i7 CPU.. wich , i know sounds totaly stupid for the normal user. but with this information and teh timeline its pretty obvious id say... of course this is just what i think...

Best Regards


edit...
on a side note Passing the Winderp 11 Test like a BOSS..

Spoiler: what a little RegEdit can do....

dont mind the core count, ram or speed, i has come from the Future

*Disclaimer, dont try this, its not recommended...

 

R5 1600AF was released in 2019, but still not supported....and, architecturally, is no different from R5 2600. They're both even 12nm parts. As far as feature support, there is no difference between R5 1600AE and R5 2600. So, technically speaking, there's no reason Ryzen 2000 series should be supported if Ryzen 1000 series isn't and vise versa. 2000 series is essentially just a refresh of 1000 series. It's really just a marketing ploy to sell more computers. At least where AMD is concerned anyway.

 

I cant run Win11 ....wait.. .what... lol

 

Once I turned PTT on in my Asus BIOS and made sure it was set to be detected by the OS my system passed MIcrosoft's little test. Using a i9 7900x for reference. Some CPU's are passign when not on the list it seems - more likely because in my case the 10900x is on the list.

 

Its the same cpu afterall.

 

Seems more and more that the real requirements are UEFI and a CPU that has hardware mitigations for Spectre/Meltdown.

 

dont forget the native android app feature.
it might be that not all CPU´s are capableof using the "Intel's Bridge technology" that might be also a reason. although AMD does also support it. but im not shure, since its an software layer? wich should run even on older CPU´s then.. im not really shure, so dont quote me

 

Sandy Bridge supports SSE 4.2, yet people say it's not supported?

 

TPM and DirectStorage, kinda useless for old systems and even som newer ones, most will probably disable TPM regardless, unless....

 

The leaked build does not have everything that will come with 11, we will see ones it is released, I just think people are overreacting a but atm. considering that there will be a Windows 10 20H2 as well which so far seem to have most of the features.
Not much different from new Nvidia driver releases

 

they probably made theyr own ISO, removing the dll file wich removes TPM 2.0/UEFI/SecureBoot checks..
does work, there are a few workarounds

 

Scalpers?
I have seen a few stores been out of stock overnight and having the same modules up for over double the price.



On a site note, also weird that the main supplier for the Xbox Series X was out of stock right after they should have gotten them and then seeing other stores including the one above having them for a much higher price.

 

What OEM system builder requirements have to do with Windows upgrade setup process?

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications

Windows 10 version 1511 processor requirements also start from Intel Broadwell models, which was the latest desktop/mobile CPU released in 2015. Yet I was able to install and run Windows 10 on much earlier Yorkfield, Lynnfield, and Sandy/Ivy bridge processors, on retail, OEM, and volume systems, and even with UEFI emulators to support NMMe boot.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements


TPM has been on the OEM requirement list since 2016, and UEFI Secure Boot since Windows 8 in 2012, so arguably that was coming, but even then Secure Boot and TPM support does not really requires Coffee Lake and Ryzen - any system starting with Sandy Bridge / Silvermont and Bulldozer / Jaguar can be made to work.

So unless they are going to actually block specific CPU families during Windows setup and/or OS startup process, this is not going to be enforceable...

 

The bios of the Asus X470-F has fTpm 2.0 agesa firmware that you can enable, but comes with a warning message that says your drive will be encrypted and whatnot. Thought never mind will leave that alone for now...

 

No issues on
mpg x570 gaming edge wifi motherboard with 5800x cpu

the check ran fine after enabling the TPM in the bios.
