Microsoft has a compatibility upgrade checker for users to test their PC meets the requirements for Windows 11.

It seems a current system has to have the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for authentication of Windows 11.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM.

Good grief I am having enough problems with Windows 10 at present. On one machine - leaving it on overnight because I was cloning some HDD - it stealthily updated my main Desktop to 20H2 in the wee hours of the morning.

Not content with that? It triggered both Firefox and Thunderbird to follow suit.

Now where does Windows 11 figure in all this? Be patient folks.

Having updated main PC to 20H2 it then decides upon further updates...

PROBLEM?

I am not the only person suffering from windows update/restart/update/restart [time consuming] FOLLOWED BY

"Windows couldn't update - now rolling back the update"" [time consuming] - words to that effect. A nightmare fighting off updates when your defence measures are ignored and defeated

All of this would inspire confidence in Windows 11? A Windows 11 which offers me precisely nothing, lots of bling but no prior faults known to me being properly fixed. It can fly Jeff Bozos [sic] to the Moon and further beyond for several centuries for all I care.

I just don't see another reliable business tool in the making. It should be a work tool, not a bling toy for teenage girls.

No wonder there are still so many people in love with their Windows 7 machines - surveys apparently say more people than we might imagine still have Win 7 machines.

Edit - clarity

I have not the slightest interest in whether or not my workstation conforms to Win11 specs.
It's all linux and FreeBSD here.
