[Sneakytiger]

Do you guys know about this requirement for the forthcoming windows 11?

Windows 11 demands TPM 2.0 and here's what that means for you | PC Gamer

Interesting, thanks for posting.

Quite a few motherboards already handle it, but BIOS often needs updating to enable it.   Fortunately my new motherboard is fine for it.

I dabbled with it after seeing Sneaky post. I ran the Windows 11 tool and my PC failed. You just enable the feature in bios but no need to fully enable Secure Boot which require a PK Key to be generated and with that comes the risk of losing access. After basic enablement the Windows 11 tool reported my PC ready.

My old Mobo doesn't even have a TMP slot! But as Windows 10 is fully supported till 2025
I'm not that fussed. W11 does look a bit meh to me. Plus it's worth remembering that if the one good one bad versioning Windows had followed for so long is to be believed, then after a bad 8 and a good 10
we seem due for a bad 11

It's not as if it will constantly download the Win11 OS and attempt to "update" your PC and fail without you telling it to even try, time and time again.

Nah, M$ wouldn't do that......... Would they.

Apparently it will do worse. It seemed Microsoft might have left all their customer un-focused nonsense behind.  But seems not. In a Steve Balmer, Windows 8 kind of move they've sort of collectively lost the plot.

The "one good - one bad" idea seems to be going strong.

Windows 8 = terrible unintuitive and user unfriendly design, major compatibility issues.
Windows 10 = good
Windows 11 = Won't install or won't get security updates on a huge number of perfectly decent and  usable systems.

I had an hour spare today and gave it a shot. I had one item that needed attention before it would fully install, the LANManager from MSI needed an update. The install took about 30 minutes. Then I had to apply my colour profiles for my monitors again, no biggy, done.

Seems the same as Windows 10 with aethetic stuff changed. It runs New World still which is important. It's still the pro version like my windows 10 license was.

They must have emptied out a load of crap from the years I was running windows 10 as the OS and game (New World) feels smoother and latency lower.

There is a Windows.old folder in C taking up 38GB, that goes if everything stays the way it is. Making the drive use level lower than it was with Windows 10 by 10GB.

Updating my PC to Windows 11 as I type.

I might not be on tonight :flirty:

Good luck marine!!!!

[albert]

so far the only thing I spotted was that New World froze twice, but I think as graphics driver re-install has fixed that.

Good luck marine!!!!

Not a great start. Stalled at 91% and stayed there ... for an hour!

Followed advice here and now trying again.

I think i might try it on my lappy 1st so if it all goes wrong (its AMD as well) then i can still play games on my main.

If I was sensible then I would have done the same :doh:
