Yes No HA HaroldBrockley Replied on November 2, 2023 I have done a PC Health Check to see if I can download Windows 11, and the results say "This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements". My PC is nine or ten yeats old, and it is working fine. In the PC Health Check result, Microsoft uses the word currently. Does this mean that sometime in the future that the download will be possible. I have read somewhere that there is a way to bypass this problem.

zach Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Windows 11 doesn't run on a 'Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3400 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)' There are plenty of videos on Youtube on how to get it to run, but using the direct upgrade from Microsoft won't work. EDIT: It will run, just not upgrade as normal. Edited November 2, 2023 by zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark6535 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 If the motherboard supports "TPM" then this MUST be enabled, if it doesn't them Win 11 will not install automatically anyway. TPM or Trusted Platform Module TPMs are integrated motherboard chips that are unique to individual computers and mobile devices. They operate internally and don’t interact with external devices. They’re also resistant to dictionary attacks. Are you wondering why they’re considered “inherently trusted” devices? Each TPM comes equipped with hard-coded identifiers (i.e., keys) that serve as the computer hardware equivalent of your government passport. But instead of coming from a government entity, TPM device keys are issued by the trusted OEM manufacturers (companies like Microsoft and IBM). This is why I think if you have this enabled you might as well stop using a VPN because this tells every computer you connect to who you are. I don't mean your name and address, but your computers unique number (TPM) So with it activated (Lets say Microsoft) Microsoft will know everywhere computer 1023 has been, but not who is using it, or where it is, that is until you log on to Facebook or read your E/Mails. The above is one reason whyi will not be using Windows 11 (I dont trust Microsoft) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfendor437 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Yes it is very scary stuff from Microsoft! When I was working, I was asked to upgrade some off-network computers to Windows 10 to be in line with the Schools Network. What was scary when I logged in it notified me of the computers at Home, with the name of the user. That's why my main goto has shifted to GNU/Linux. (GNU is the OS, Linux is the kernel for the OS to run.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swarfendor437 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 TPM doen't necessarily involve chips. I had some reset issues that I had not instigated and having browsed for answers, the best solution was to install a BIOS update. I have been trying to avoid this, but thought I had better update in view of the 'logo fail' BIOS attack that all platforms are susceptible to. Needless to to say, TPM (both 1.2 and 2.0) got installed into the BIOS - which then knocked out my KVM setting which had to be reset! I can't remember when I built the eldest's PC but probably around 2018. I upgraded their Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro no issue. I then downloaded the Windows 11 .iso and installed it onto a USB with Ventoy, the latter including necessary MOK keys for the BIOS for Windows 11 to run. No TPM required, and I should point out this was to a separate drive, not the drive that had the upgrade from 8.1 to 10. I only use Windows 7 to update my website. My daily go to is now my preferred GNU/Linux OS of PCLinuxOS - ironically I had to downgrade my graphics card to get it to run as it did not like my GT1030 - now running a GT440 I got off eBay - never used and a bargain at £40!
