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.

AMD supported CPU's
Intel supported CPU's

So you don't need Secure Boot?

Nvm, got it to work! Thanks for this, spent all afternoon trying to figure out why my PC wasn't eligible. Thought it was the 1 TB NVme requirement or because I didn't have Secure Boot enabled / CSM support disabled. Turns out just needed Intel PTT enabled.

fake news.
TPM 2.0 is not required, just recommended. TPM 1.2 is fine.

source : Compatibility for Windows 11- Compatibility Cookbook | Microsoft Docs

Hardware Requirements​

There are new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. In order to run Windows 11, devices must meet the following specifications. Devices that do not meet the hard floor cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, and devices that meet the soft floor will receive a notification that upgrade is not advised.

Hard Floor:

  • CPU: Core >= 2 and Speed >= 1 GHz
  • System Memory: TotalPhysicalRam >= 4 GB
  • Storage: 64 GB
  • Security: TPM Version >= 1.2 and SecureBootCapable = True
  • Smode: Smode is false, or Smode is true and C_ossku in (0x65, 0x64, 0x63, 0x6D, 0x6F, 0x73, 0x74, 0x71)
Soft Floor:
  • Security: TPMVersion >= 2.0
  • CPU Generation
 
thats the application version, not your TPM. specification version is your TPM version,which is TPM 2.0, so you pass with flying colors
The software/app to check to see if your PC is ready for Windows 11 is broken then. My PC is only 1-2 years old. Got it late 2018-early 2019.

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.

You are 100% correct.. but its a bit of grey area as to what makes an OS "new" anyway.

This is exactly what Microsoft are doing with Windows, but people seem to think that 11 will be a "major" release like they used to do in the past.

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.

Your PS4 Pro came with a built in SSD? Impressive.

yes, it seems it has some bugs and its not picking up the correct info for some items. i wouldnt stress about it, its still awhile before official release of windows 11, and they'll eventually iron out the bugs in the app.

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.
They claim they are, but that it will support down to 1.2, and 2.0 isn't a hard requirement.

Seems bananas to me. My motherboard requires a module to enable TPM, and the part is discontinued. And I'm hardly rocking an obsolete computer. This requirement is probably going to exclude more users than any previous version.

Hm, this sort of worked but when I check it in the Windows security panel it says Attestation: Not ready and I still get no love from the PC Health Checker.
 
I built my PC in 2013 so it looks like my motherboard is a no-go for TPM. (Asus P8Z77-V LK) Guess Windows 10 will be end of the line until I decide to upgrade. I don't use my PC for gaming so my current i7-3770K is plenty good enough for my needs. Good thing 10 will be around a while!

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...

Yeah checked now and my PC doesn't support 11. Imagine spending $3400 just 2 years ago to not be compatible. I think the only part that's not meeting the requirements is the Radeon VII. Might upgrade to 6800-6900XT in the future anyway just for HDMI 2.1. Now does it need PCIe 4.0 as well? Mine is PCIe 3.0 motherboard.


Might just ignore 11 as I'll make a whole upgrade few years later anyway, and mine isn't gaming-focused although being a gaming PC.

i see what you did ms...but isn't gamepass a game (at least you use it only to play games so....)
this is borderline.
That's pretty cheeky of Microsoft, still currently the best app store policy out in the market for developers. Steam/GOG should be fine but it would be interested to see if that's the case.

As I currently understand it,
Adobe - 0% to Microsoft, 100% to Dev
Roblox - 12% to Microsoft , 88% to Dev
Control via EGS - 0% to Microsoft, 12% to Epic, 88% to Dev
Death's Door via Steam - 0% to Microsoft, upto 30% depend on the scale of sales, rest to Dev
Death's Door via MS store - 12% to Microsoft , 88% to Dev

If you are a windows phone fan (barring the lacking app support), you might know Rudy Huyn. It seems like he has been a key part of the new Windows Store experience and has some more detail about the new app.

 
The app/software checking whether your PC is ready for Windows 11 is broken. Wait till this fall/autumn and holiday season for bug fixes and other official announcements from Microsoft.

Who said it was built in? You can swap the hard drive out in a PS4 (and PS3 by the way) for any drive of the same size. So I put a 2TB SSD in it.

SSD is nothing new to me, but direct storage is so much more than just regular SSD performance. It's a game changer.

I think they were trying to say if you download EGS from the Windows Store if/when it comes to it, EPIC uses their own currency processing system meaning Microsoft gets nothing per their new policy. Microsoft only takes 15% (not 12) if you use their own payment system and all that.

If only he deleted the shop. We would be all better off.

Fortnite is developed by Epic that owns EGS. Just to be correct.

I know but I was typing on my phone and couldn't remember a game that I have bought on the EGS. I will change the game to be more accurate.

For MSI boards you need to select PTT instead of TPM in bios security settings for some reason to pass this check.
Intel > PTT, AMD > fTPM : ) Also TPM if you have TPM key, those two other terms is if the features is done through firmware.

Microsoft hopefully backtracks on a lot of things, including the TPM2.0 shit and not being able to have the task bar on the top of the screen.

taskbar on top or to the left is more ergonomic and should be supported, not supporting that will piss off a lot of people

and yes, you'll probably be able to use third party software or change some regestries to get your taskbar to the top or to the left, but this shouldn't be needed

I don't think they will back track on the TPM thing completely, but I do think they will ease the actual restriction.. at least for a few years. The CPU support is also too strict if its actually enforced, which I don't think it will be. The older CPUs will still work.

so I enabled fTPM on my CPU, and got the green light in the Health Check app.
I'm just glad I didn't run into any weird issues... and I hope that transitioning to Windows 11 will be just as smooth :) it's way less scary than any transition before this for sure, given that even early unfinished builds basically work flawlessly already with existing drivers

Ya, I just enabled PPT in my BIOS/UEFI and it registers as TPM 2.0 compliant even without a module. It allowed me to join the beta branch so I'm hopeful to get it installed next week.

I'm mainly curious why they're enforcing TPM. There's some evidence suggesting that DirectStorage games might be virtual disk images and this requirement makes me wonder if they'll be encrypted.

My guess is after the SolarWinds hack they are tired of firmware hacks and want to put in some encryption/safety standards.

I remember the SolarWinds attack but I'm not really familiar with it. Was that something a TPM might have prevented?

But, yeah, enforcing security is overall a good thing. I'm just surprised to see it on the Home versions and not just Pro/Enterprise.
