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!

I think its more about trying to finally get on top of Windows security issues.  Android, iOS, MacOS, they all already are locked down in this way, its just a lot more complicated to achieve on a platform that historically was so open and poorly written, when it comes to security.

They've been working on getting as much code restricted to user mode as possible for years now, I suspect this is just the next step in their security lock down.  I just hope this means Bitlocker will finally be available to Home users.

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.

Its already been mentioned on a lot of sites how strangely all Zen 1 CPU/SoC seem to be missing off the list which is utterly bizarre when much older Intel CPUs ARE supported.  It surely must be an oversight?

I have checked the Windows 10 and 11 requirements and as you say it doesn't seem to make sense.

Windows 10 -





Windows 11 -

I'd take the list of compatible processors with a huge pinch of salt.

My i5-4460 CPU isn't listed against any versions of Windows on this page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements, so the fact that I am sitting typing in Win 10 20H2 must be a figment of my imagination.

I'd suggest that if your CPU isn't listed for Win 11 but it meets all the other requirements, check if it is listed for Win 10 before you get too worried.

The problem is the official compatibility checker seems to be using that list!

I suspect the CPU list might be increased before launch day.

Its just stupid releasing a compatibility checker at all if its incomplete.

Likewise, don't tell my i3-3110m or my AMD A10-5700K that they are running 20H2 illegally!
In fact neither or those CPUs appear in any of the compatibility lists and yet both are post Win 7 release by a long way. Total nonsense!

Maybe EU will banned Microsoft force people's into account sign up, TPM must be in use etc but I know UK no longer with EU because With Microsoft's permission, OEMs can ship Windows 11 PCs without TPM are totally unfair treat with customers who already purchased new pc and build pc but must required to have TPM enabled in order to install Windows 11.

In post #59 i posted i have the Ryzen 5 - 2400 which is shown in  screen shot one for windows 10 (post #62) but is missing in screen shot two for windows 11. (post #62)

For someone who told us back at post #48 that you won't be installing it you seem to be giving this a lot of time..... 

[adslmax]

Well I installed on clean ssd and play with it see how it goes

[Alex Atkin UK]

Praise the OS gods, Microsoft got a clue about how to do settings correctly!

More than that, he said he was using Linux.
