Windows 11 unveiled - Features and release date

Solved. You basically have to have TPM 2.0 to use windows 11, stupid requirement but it is slightly safer but will totally kill it for most people. I mean the hell were they thinking with that.

If you are on Ryzen, make sure it's set to fTPM on Firmware not discrete (default). That was the issue for me.

Telling people to touch their .dll files isn't a fun way to fix problems. But that probably even lets you install it.

Sweet. Thanks. I've disabled mine in the BIOS. I'll test it some time.
 
I have various consumer based motherboards with TPM connectors, it doesn't need to be hardware based or module expanded. Firmware level is also supported. The problem many will have with older hardware is that they will be limited to TPM 1.2 support.

I can only guess that MS will remove this requirement or make it additional.

Anyway, CMD -> tmp.msc, to check whether it is enabled on the BIOS.

Also, is DX12 really a requirement??? What about old PCs which don't have DX12 support?

Huh? DX12 is a Windows component. It's not even working until a graphics driver is installed.

I know what you meant.
You're probably as tired as I am :p
Yep. PCs with Integrated GPUs will need to run 11.
So it's a weirdly worded limitation.
Probably just means it supports DX12 Cards.

Depends on the chip, just running a 2600 on an Asus x470 Pro. The default TMP setting was on the hardware side not firmware, some motherboards have it on by default others just outright have it running only TMP 1.2 or older, some even disabled.

Yup seen enough complaining from the reddit side and all over the insider pages.
 
lol if you center my taskbar Im quitting to linux.
 
Did anyone see that ridiculous video with that guy remembering his child good and almost choking up? I mean wtf.
 
I actually just installed Windows 10 for the first time on my PC last week and it's such a mess. PC sometimes randomly freezes so I have to force shutdown. Then there is all this stuff that wants to connect to the net and take my information. Even though I switched all of them off in the privacy settings, my PC still knows I'm in Gauteng, giving me news, weather and traffic for Sandton. I don't need any of this stuff on my PC.

The only reason I installed Windows 10 was because some games need it. They don't work on Windows 7 which I used for a long time with no issues.

Hate to break it to you, windows 7 used to take all your information as well, so does Google, so does basically anything app you use from a huge company.

Right click on the task bar and disable the news.
Probably need a firmware update ...

It's been a very long time since DX12 came out, most systems in the last ~5 years are DX12 compatible due to the APU.

Nvidia most 500 series on mobile, pretty much all 400 and 600 series and newer, that's 2012 or so and newer.
AMD the FirePro from 2014 for workstation and newer, "gaming" side think the R7 250 was the oldest/worst that supported it, unsure, pretty much anything post that supported, that's 2013. Most of their APU's had it 2014/15 as well, not sure there, those are a recycled mess.
Intel HD 630 or newer definitely had it, from 2016 onward, basically when they moved to 3 digit nomenclature, which was Skylake AFAIK (CPU 6000 series).

And then W11 will mostly just be new systems, plus W10 still has support for another 5 years, by the time forced drop happens those "youngest" systems will be 10 years old, and lots hitting 12-14.
Based on 3D stacking and other changes, I think we should probably see a nice performance increase in the next 2 years, including power consumption, just look at the last 3/4 years in regards to how much the power use has reduced in laptops. It will basically be at the point of why are you still using such an old system now, it's doubtful we will have another sandy bridge case of no real performance changes in 7/8 years.
