Windows 11: The Best Windows Ever for Gaming - Xbox Wire

if they truly wanted the best OS for gaming, they had to start new. Reduce the OS footprint, reduce redundancy and build for the future, new foundations!

So release the OS from the Xbox as a standalone? I think its probably more practical to include the features from the "gaming" OS into the full fledged one. Hoping for some sort of "quick resume" to be added as well.

The software engineers at Apple seem to disprove this on a yearly cadence, especially their mobile OS..

because those are not new OS updates, they are equivalent of Windows service packs at most, often not even that. calling it iOS12, 13, 14, 15 doesn't change the fact that these aren't big new updates.

man i have the amd ftmp on and that said i cant run win 11,what you do done(bitlocker is on or not?)

You need to make sure the device is turned in the BIOS as well.

Look up how to do it based on your mobo. There are instructions online.

I don’t know. It’s not a easy task. They put themselves at that place… an OS for everything! But that has consequences and drawbacks.

After seeing Harware Unboxed benchmarks, it's basically Windows 10. Barely even a noticeable difference.

which is good. the update will most likely be very smooth if it is simply a big update to Win 10 instead of a giant step with lots of stuff that can go wrong
 
Yes it already existed before, it's called Windows 7.

Nice, Windows 7 supports DX12 Ultimate, DirectStorage, Game Pass built right into the OS while also enabling Xbox Cloud Gaming right from a new and improved Xbox PC App?

Cause all of that sounds much better for gaming than an OS that supports almost none of it. :)
 
During the month of November in the year 2020, did you feel welcomed in the world of solid state storage, which PC players have been enjoying since roughly 2010?

The benefits brought to you from upgrading from a hard drive (its what you had in your PS3 and 4 if you are wondering) to a solid state drive are far grater than what a tech like direct storage brings to the table.
No actually I was enjoying SSD storage for years in my PS4 Pro, my Mac and an NVMe drive in my gaming PC, but what do I know?

I’m actually happy for PC gamers. I’m not being sarcastic. This update will move the industry forward and hopefully games start to require fast drives. It’s a real game changer on the PS5.

I hope it's a free update at least. That was a good move with Windows 10 and I hope they keep it up.

Otherwise I'll wait until OEM keys are $5 on eBay.

even tho i'm not on windows anymore i'm interested to see if this is more than just a re-skin of windows 10 but so far it seems to be just that. my issues with windows are far bigger and deeper than what they seem to focus here so i don't think i'll be going back any time soon.

Anyway for people with a z390 motherboard with 9000 series CPU from gigabyte and can't find TPM

1) Restart your computer
2) slam del button on your keyboard
3) go to peripherals
4) enable ( intel platform trusted technology ( ptt )
5) save and exist
6) pc will reboot twice

Basically means in dutch, windows 11 ready.

That's with a 512gb nvme drive 970 pro and a 1080ti and 9900k.

Also

Seems like with intel you need a 8000 or higher series CPU and with AMD u need a 2000 or higher series CPU.

One post above yours are instructions to deal with this.

Yeah....this is all a bit absurd, but it IS Microsoft.

z490 and i9 10900k 1tb nvme ssd, upgrade tool tells me my pc can't run w11...
It's probably the TPM stuff I'd have to enable; I'm sure when w11 actually launches, it's not going to force the tpm nonsense.

Ya, I get the feeling that if you want to use disk encryption then you will need TPM.

It makes very little sense to enforce TPM since not everyone wants to have their drives encrypted.

Will be interesting to see what nvidia i/o is going to require. I could see they cuck most PC gamers and only release it on there newest GPU's

oh good, my 2600 is supported... :pie_relieved:
weird tho... why would the 1700 not be supported? they literally support super low end mobile CPUs

I think 'supported' just means 'supported by Microsoft'. I've never had problems installing Windows on unsupported systems before.

I just installed Win11 on a 2GB VM while the specs call for 4GB.

It was a stunt lie like Destiny 1 is a 10 years game. But it's a free upgrade, so no complaints.
If you have recent enough hardware. I was in the market anyways to build a new PC, but they said Windows 11 supports 8th gen and higher Core i-series processors or AMD Ryzen 2000 series or greater. This version of Windows is going to force a lot of new hardware purchases...

true. I wonder if it will have weird issues tho if you install it on a 1700 or any of the unsupported CPUs. there has to be a reason why they make that list, surely?
or maybe they just didn't test anything that was released before Zen+...? maybe they just didn't bother

the hard minimal specs are supposedly a dual core at 1ghz, so I bet any CPU that fits that requirement will have somewhat of a usable experience

Or a lot of people won't bother with it and the OS adoption rate will be incredible bad and most PC developers will still not support directstorage as result.

This is why they already dropped some requirements. I fully expect that 2.0 will also be dropped sooner rather then later.

I can't really think of a reason why it should have issues. If anything, it should be the motherboard/chipset that would be incompatible and not the CPU.

I think these requirements are just incomplete, personally. Maybe they haven't tested your CPU and didn't want to put it on the supported list yet.

nah mine is fine, all Zen+ and newer work/are listed it seems.

They need to not be so stingy on the processor list.
