Remember this? Lol
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/11/why-...f-windows.html In 2015, as Microsoft was preparing to release its Windows 10 operating system, a developer evangelist speaking at a technical session during a company event dropped an eyebrow-raising statement. “Windows 10 is the last version of Windows,” he said. But last week, Microsoft announced an online event to reveal “the next generation of Windows.” |
Not much hope for my nine year old i7 12gb pc with a nvidia Fx pro graphics card. I hope someone comes up with a workaround or an add on piece of hardware to make it all work, otherwise in 4 years time I will be forking out a £grand to get something nearly as good as this one :{
I also have a couple of ancient but very quick laptops that wont take tis either. Apparently one of the requirement is .......

The headline article in this Windows 11 special newsletter is a well-reasoned post by Will Fastie. Will is editor in chief of the AskWoody Plus Newsletter, and he wrote this piece after attending the Windows 11 launch. |

If I read it correctly, about 95% of the worlds Windows PC's will need replacing and I suspect many will migrate to Apple. |
Is this of any help?

Unfortunately no.
TPM 2 requires a chip on the motherboard, whilst these can be added to some motherboards many like mine, do not have a slot for it or a BIOS capable of operating it. Ignoring the Vista like need for 4gb Ram, there are only a very few processors that will work with it as well. Even allowing for the replacement of older windows machines over the next four years, I think it safe to say that Microsoft will be severely upsetting over 1 billion Windows users. Not what I would call a smart business strategy :uhoh:. I think the lack of enthusiasm shown for it by senior Microsoft people at the launch speaks volumes. Expect a screeching U turn in the coming months or years, with 10 continuing to be supported alongside 11 for those that want or need the added security. |
Best thing to do is wait for the inevitable Windows 11 patch that makes TPM-2 optional.
