Just a reminder to everyone not to install this over your existing Windows 10 install on machines you use regularly.

Install separately to dual boot, or as a VM. No guarantee there won't be install breaking issues or that any rollback will be possible.

I've managed to turn on Secure boot. It's not exactly intuitive on my Gigabyte board but eventually worked out what the BIOS error was.

Secure boot is off on mine but it still says compatible.  We shall see as I've opted my gaming laptop into the Dev channel as I haven't been using it much so not the end of the world if it gets borked.

Let us know how you get on with it Max.

I am not installing windows 11 as I don't want it. I am using Linux

Really !

Signed my Laptop up to the Insider Program at Beta level. Still want a useable OS.

Updated: I test it on my 20 years old laptop and it worked! 

Bypass TPM and SecureBoot when installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware:

During installation press Shift+F10, open registry and create key LabConfig under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup

There add:
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

I've had this program recommended to me as being better than Microsoft's Healthcheck program to check to see if Windows 11 will work.

https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11

It's called WhyNotWin11

It shows a graphical check list to show all the requirements and if you're computer as them.

Mine fails because of the CPU not being supported and I have no TPM.

Same here as it won't work with my old cpu - Intel i7 2700K

[Alex Atkin UK]

The CPU thing is a curious one because I know the H67 chipset can support TPM (if your motherboard has the socket), so I wonder what instructions specifically Microsoft are planning to use that are not supported by these old CPUs?

Its annoying everyone is suddenly scalping TPM modules or I'd get one to try in one of my older PCs to see what the checker says, but they're literally going for up to £80 on eBay now which is insane as we don't even know if a single motherboard that DOESN'T support TPM built-in will even work with Win11 retail yet.  Even £40 is too much as they were about £12 before the announcement.

Full greens after converting to GPT and Secure Boot. Things may change.

It's all about pure GREEDY money by Microsoft. Funny is open source Linux operating system does work with 40 years old PC with very old hardware!

Yes, I hope the list of supported CPUs supported increases over time, otherwise a lot of hardware that could run Win11 won't.

At the moment, MS seem to be limiting it to CPUs produced in the last couple of years only.

According to the MS pc check my Ryzen 5 2400 CPU is too old but i do have TPM and see something like the second image below.

Do any of of you think this CPU may be up to the job if like posted above -

The TPM management tool built into Windows will show you whether your PC has a TPM. To open it, press Windows+R to open a run dialog window. Type tpm.msc into it and press Enter to launch the tool.
