One hopes so because the TPM thing is going to be serious piece of "anti-poaching" protection for vendors. Maybe this is another rivet in the Linux-growth truck - because TPM could be irritating (mostly because everyone will have upgrade the hardware and our machines - those guys think we all have POCKETS and POCKETS of money!!).a workaround to bypass the TPM 2.0 thingy
Source: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/heres-what-youll-need-to-upgrade-to-windows-11/If you didn't get one of the few TPM modules available yesterday, don't worry—you almost certainly don't need one. OEM hardware TPM is generally considered the most hardened version, and it's soldered directly to the board in PCs intended for enterprise use. Less-hardened firmware TPM support is built right into modern AMD and Intel processors, and that will satisfy Windows 11's TPM requirement just fine.
It's a bit difficult to get a complete, accurate list of all CPUs with support for onboard, firmware-based TPM, largely because the demand for it was fairly low until this week. As far as we can see, every x86_64 CPU on Microsoft's supported processor lists includes that support.
They still have Windows 10 users. These users can continue to use it until 2025. Or may extend another year to 2026 or 2027. Maybe MS is targeting Win 11 for new users or businesses. They still make money on both versions.If we look closely, then we see that MS has released a Win version with only cosmetic changes but new hardware requirement.
Now this will force new hardware purchase. Users will get nothing but some window dressing and loss of money.
Obviously someone will become rich.
As far as older hardware not supporting the new shiny OS then do not worry, just give it time. When all new sales dry up, then MS will come out with upgrade for older machines too. After all MS wants billions of computer using Win 11.
Yes, as it happened with Win10, remember ?. (but the specs will probably change again before then)
This worked on my development computer. It was incompatible with Windows 11, according to the health app. I've enabled PTT in the bios settings and it now says that the computer is compatible.
It seems you have 7th generation Core i7. The minimum is 8th generation.Despite having TPM 2.0 active the health app for my Surface Studio reports an unsupported processorWhat the F.... ⁉

6th generation actually, it is Surface Studio 2 that has a 7th generation CPU. Of course I know that the supposed minimum is 8th generation. The unanswered question is why they are disenfranchising the majority of the world's PC fleet? I can see another Windows 8 debacle on the horizon.7th generation Core i7.
No. Look from business point of view. They are pushing new PC sales.The unanswered question is why they are disenfranchising the majority of the world's PC fleet?
Win98 -> Good
Win Me -> Bad
Win2000 -> Good
Win Me -> Bad
WinXP -> Good
Win Vista -> Bad
Win7 -> Good
Win8 -> Bad
Win10 -> Good
Win11 … You get the point
Win 3.1 -> Good
Win 95 -> Good
Win 98 -> Good
Win 2K -> Good
Win Me -> Bad
Win XP -> Good
Win Vista -> Bad
Win 7 -> Good
Win 8 -> Bad
Win 10 -> Bad
Win 11 -> Bad
Win 12 -> Bad
We missed Win 10X, which MS it self found BAD, so Win 11 ??My 2 cents:
