Windows 11 update fears

‎Sep 02 2021 03:34 PM - edited ‎Sep 02 2021 03:46 PM

Windows 11 update fears
What I have is a Dell Optiplex 9010(2013).
My question is I think that I'll need 2 updates and cannot find them myself, so can anyone steer me here?
Tpm driver update from 1.2 to 2.0
Here's an image of what I need(the TPM 2.0 and the graphics card 2.0 driver)
And if this is related to an Intel HD Graphics 4000, I need Directx12 compatible graphics/wddm2. driver update from a lesser version.

    That's not gonna happen...

    It's the hardware (not the software drivers) that are the issue.   You simply can not "upgrade" to TPM 2.0 and DirectX12 with the installation of drivers

     

    I'd recommend that you just stay on Win10 forever... or until you replace your hardware with something a lot more modern

      I already have Intel HD Graphics 4000 on my computer.. it's just that I thought an updated new next version of the 4000 was what I needed. I already went to the Intel website and used their driver assistant but am wary about which one to download. As far as the Tpm goes, I read where there's a "do not advise" warning when installing the Windows 11 update but it still works...as best or greater than 1.2 version. But I cannot find a 2.0 driver for the TPM so I guess I'll have to get the upgraded hardware Tpm.

        Again, the "Intel HD Graphics 4000" is describing the hardware... there is no software driver that will *ever* upgrade the hardware.
