I'm 1 for 3 at my house my HTPC (which I honestly haven't used in 8mos) and more annoyingly my wife's pc do not meet microsoft's stated proc support (i7-4770K and a ??? I don't actually remember it might? have a 2500K) oh well... I probably will just use my Roku or Chromecast or?? and retire the HTPC...
Honestly wiith so many ransonware attacks all on windows machines, its a huge problem right now. I see people jumping into Linux just for the security flaws of windows.
You were supposed to have Stockholm syndrome by now. What's taking you so long?
I recently jumped ship from Windows, when I was having USB disconnect issues on my new build. I am now running Linux MINT on my new gaming PC. There are lots of games to play, except newly released games not made for linux. But I have an xbox series x for those games.

This is bad comedy. Dear Microsoft, I want to run Windows 11 on my i7-950; still on Windows 7.
Yes, user error is a big part of it, but if the exploit is only created for Windows, then using Linux (or macOS even) would probably reduce a good chuck of the attack vector.Which is going to do jack shit for protecting against ransomware; from all reports the biggest vulnerability is located between the monitor and chair.

Right. People seem to hate Windows and Microsoft, but continue to use their products. Like a abusive relationship. At some point you have to just walk away.Boycott MS products and maybe some day they'll get the message.
Unless it is a very specific targeted attack, you can bet that any shady attachments on emails, etc. are designed for Windows.Almost all ransomware attacks still require user error in order to infect a system. Linux isn't a cure for user error.
Linux doesn’t fix idiots installing executables they shouldn’t as root or adding a skummy repo server to yum and installing god knows what.I recently jumped ship from Windows, when I was having USB disconnect issues on my new build.

I could probably open my spam folder on Linux and double click the "[email protected]" and nothing will happen.
Well Android is the most popular OS on the planet, so yeah, in that case there is an ROI for malware developers.Android is based on Linux, so that must be why Android devices never get infected by malware.
Oh wait...

Isn't though? I have a 6700K and in the same boatMy PC has many times the minimum requirements for Windows 11. It is very, very fast with tons of left over horsepower. My only sin? i7-7700K. This is maddening.
Yes, I've uninstalled it multiple times, I believe Windows Update brings it back.
AMD was not part of that equation, and it was Intel who sold CPUs with massive security issues for performance gains since the Pentium Pro in 1995, so we are at 26 years of them doing this and counting.I get everyone wants to be mad at microsoft about this.. but what about being mad at Intel / AMD..etc?? who sold processors with gaping security holes for what 20~yrs?
That was due to an account getting compromised, and was purely due to human error and .Maybe.... ???? after a gawd damn oil pipeline got forced to shut down after ransomware attack it is time to consider requiring additional security mechanisms to be present in hardware that will run modern Operating Systems?
Are you for real?I honestly think most of you are seriously overreacting. OMG Windows 11 won't run on my 20 year old toaster! HOW DARE YOU MICROSOFT!
Not hardly.The worst thing about there being a Windows 11 is people on the internet.
Socialism back-ending Corporatism, and Microsoft makes the 'dark' in dark cyberpunk future like the good megacorp that they are.TPM = NSA Backdoor?
So my only option is to buy a TMP 2.0 module..........if I can find one since scalpers got their dirty hands on them now.......
Meh. MS has this info posted on their website. I wouldn't put much faith in leaked versions from developer builds.You could always wait to see what the actual requirements are when Windows 11 is released. Right now the TPM nonsense is being fueled by mob hysteria.
As of this moment, there is no version of Windows 11 that actually requires a TPM module. The leaked ISO works fine even on computers that are 15 years old or more. If that actually changes as more beta versions are released, then panic and complain.
Well, this just proves that Windows 11 can obviously run and operate without TPM 2.0 and much older CPUs without it, yet Microsoft will eventually and needlessly force the OS and platforms to require it.You could always wait to see what the actual requirements are when Windows 11 is released. Right now the TPM nonsense is being fueled by mob hysteria.
Microsoft literally stated as such, so what are you talking about?As of this moment, there is no version of Windows 11 that actually requires a TPM module. The leaked ISO works fine even on computers that are 15 years old or more. If that actually changes as more beta versions are released, then panic and complain.
So yeah, as you said, time to "panic and complain".There are new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. In order to run Windows 11, devices must meet the hardware specifications. Devices that do not meet the hardware requirements cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.
- Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)
- RAM: 4 gigabyte (GB)
- Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device
- System firmware: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0
- Graphics card: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
- S mode is only supported on Home edition of Windows 11. If you are running a different edition of Windows in S mode, you will need to first switch out of S mode prior to upgrading.
I'm currently using a 9 year old system and a 13 year old. If it works, why replace it? That's mindless consumerism. The most economical thing we can do is to use products for as long as possible. Then in comes microsoft demanding to throw out our perfectly working systems.By the time win 10 goes EoL, that skylake x will be over 8 years old.
Weren’t we just having the discussion that MS sucks because they have too much backwards compatibility, and it causes too many compromises?
The term you are looking for is Corporatism, which is exactly what both Microsoft, and potentially Intel, are pulling here, which should straight up be illegal, but obviously is not because because Socialism plays on Corporatism, and vice versa.I'm currently using a 9 year old system and a 13 year old. If it works, why replace it? That's mindless consumerism.
Microsoft’s updated documentation removes those references, instead listing TPM 2.0 as one of the hardware requirements for Windows 11.
“Devices that do not meet the hardware requirements cannot be upgraded to Windows 11,” Microsoft says on the documentation page.
For Intel Core chips, support for Windows 11 starts at the eighth-generation line, meaning that PCs with seventh-gen Intel Core chips and older would not be compatible with Windows 11, based on Microsoft’s disclosure.
from that link:Directly from Microsoft's documentation:
So yeah, as you said, time to "panic and complain".
When I ran the check on my system running a 7700k and a laptop running a 7600u, it told me my CPU was not compatible and that I would have to continue using Win10. This seems to impact all current systems, not just new ones from OEMs.from that link:
"The goal of this specification is to enable OEMs, ODMs, Silicon, and other component vendors to make early design decisions for devices and computers that will run Windows."
like ive said several times, the requirements floating around appear to be for oems making new systems that will be w11 certified or something like that.
To quote Ellen Ripley from Aliens, "I hope you're right. I really do."from that link:

and? that quote is from your link, it clearly says oems. also, its still 6 months away from official release, things will change. go in your bios and turn on tpm/ptt and secureboot. i installed it on an "unsupported" i5-6500, people have installed it on older "unsupported" chips without issue too.When I ran the check on my system running a 7700k and a laptop running a 7600u, it told me my CPU was not compatible and that I would have to continue using Win10.

it was blocked on an i5-2400 i tried, no supported vid i think. the check tool also said my sig rig was not support, until i turned on tpm.Wake me up when anyone is actually blocked from installing anything.
It literally states that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 for Windows 11 - not sure how you aren't understanding that, but believe whatever you want.It shows that there is nothing fundamental in the OS that requires a TPM module. There is not some major security overhaul that integrates and requires a TPM module in order to function. Big overhauls like that aren't something that gets slipped in at the end of development. If it ends up inserted as some kind of artificial requirement, then it will almost certainly be easily bypassed.
What the hell does that have to do with anything?There are a lot of requirements on there. You seriously think people won't be able to make it work on DirectX 11 videocards?
So everyone who has a system without TPM 2.0 is going to have to run a cracked version of Windows 11 to make it work?There has never been a version of Windows released, ever, that couldn't be installed on hardware that was below it's "minimum requirements" if you really wanted to.
This isn't "theory" or "misinterpreted system requirements", Microsoft literally states it in the system requirements.I want to see even one single screenshot from anyone who has been blocked from actually installing Windows 11 due to not having a TPM module. Yes, it's still very early in the beta - but that's sort of the point. Everyone is freaking out based on theory and potentially misinterpreted system requirements. Wake me up when anyone is actually blocked from installing anything.
Because the pre-release version will totally be the same as the officially released version with the hard-locked requirement of TPM 2.0.and? that quote is from your link, it clearly says oems. also, its still 6 months away from official release, things will change. go in your bios and turn on tpm/ptt and secureboot. i installed it on an "unsupported" i5-6500, people have installed it on older "unsupported" chips without issue too.
it probably will change. everyone is jumping to conclusions based on a leaked version and oem spec lists.Because the pre-release version will totally be the same as the officially released version with the hard-locked requirement of TPM 2.0.
I really hope things will change, but I doubt they will, so in the meantime I hope you enjoy Windows 11 on those unsupported chipsets while you still can.

"Leaked version" and "OEM specs", yet it states that requirement on Microsoft's official documentation...Hardware Requirements
There are new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. In order to run Windows 11, devices must meet the hardware specifications. Devices that do not meet the hardware requirements cannot be upgraded to Windows 11.
