mohith1402 Hello, I got a great news on windows 11 cpu requirements and a support person told me that all the pc with tpm 2.0 will be eligible for windows 11 update. he told me that any cpu with 2 cores 2.3ghz and with tpm 2.0 and other requirements will be eligible for update. and please read below some part of chat with the support person
What if the Game PC I7 doesn't have a TPM slot and you're still I7 with a higher Power PC.
In the pc is brand new but doesn't have a TPM slot.
Is it possible you can get a TPM USB?
Even if you don't meet the minimum requirements, can you still Upgrade to Windows 11.
And still receive Microsoft Update.
It is not their Motherboards fault.
If the motherboard doesn't have a TPM slot if it was not Built in the Motherboards.
They should still receive Microsoft Windows 11 And Updates Even if they don't got a TPM Slot in there. Motherboards. In Intel Core 7
Motherboard Could that be possible?
Do they sell TPM USB.
Yes my pc
Intel Core 7
Game PC Brand new 7 months old
I believe it's a Second place computer between first place.
I have a feeling Microsoft's going to get sued cuz people are going to complain.
TPM problem. I considered a tpm was a bad move.
- Check you BIOS many Motherboard have TPM on board by is not enabled in BIOS, some Intel System also have Intel PTT which once again you have to turn on in BIOS , but windows see as TPM 2.0.
Also Yes you can get a TPM 2.0 Module for many motherboards check your boards spec / Manual for a TPM Header, ASUS mother board for example have a TPM Header on lots of tehre motherboard so you can just order the TPM module and problem Solved , TPM modules for ASUS are only approx. $20- not really solved as you still need a cpu on the approved list for future windows updates that will run item that require the newer features of gen 8 cpu's etc
- Hi I think this documentation will explain the need to have TPM 2.0.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/tpm/trusted-platform-module-overview#:~:text=Starting%20with%20Windows%2010%2C%20the%20operating%20system%20automatically,or%20performing%20a%20clean%20installation%20on%20a%20PC.- But my pc with an i5 7500 does have TPM 2.0 tho
- Hello there is no option to use tpm usb but to get windows 11 you need Tpm 2.0 but there is a way to get it if you have i7 6th gen and above just go to the BIOS and search for PTT security or Platfrom Trust Technology it is disabled by default you just need to toggle it on and save and reboot your pc and you'll find the tpm 2.0 in windows but as per Microsoft even if you have Tpm 2.0, 8th gen and above pc's will be eligible for update
mohith1402 The Core i7-7820HQ is going to be supported. That’s right; only a single mainstream seventh-generation CPU is going to be supported by Windows 11, and it’s the one that’s in the Surface Studio 2. Reason why they are supporting this particular processor is because Surface Studio 2 you may still buy. This is a joke!
- Hello,
Intel 7th Gen CPU is not support by Windows 11, refer to below doc:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors- but when i spoke to microsoft support they said that is no the list they will revamp it before windows 11 release
- they stated they were looking at some intel 7th gens to see if they could be supported but that is not all of them and not stating that they will.
Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!
Microsoft has not supported intel gen 7 processors and AMD processors from 2017 yet but they are looking into it and most probably these processors will be supported till Windows 11 releases to the public.
- i would like to move to another operating system like linux and other @microsoftwindows is not doing anything new for those who purchased it just 3 years ago hate microsoft.
- Hoy que vi la lista de procesadores compatibles vi que el Celeron N6211 era compatible y es un procesador del 2015 en cambio procesadores como el intel core i5 7200u que es de 2016 nisiquiera aparece en la lista osea plop! Que paso microsoft? Antes eras bueno.......
- A mi me parece una falta de respeto con los usuarios que no admitan procesadores de séptima generación de gama baja pero que cumplen con los demás requisitos y es que para que ponen que admiten procesadores de 1ghz y mínimo 2gb de ram, cuando hoy en día nadie por muy pobre que sea tiene tan poco cuando hay equipos que modestos con requisitos altos y es más dicen que procesadores de más de 5 años el mio apenas tiene 2 años y no es compatible, la verdad no se a que están jugando, pero me parece que es el típico juego de la gallinita ciega, restringir mucho y al final caer en picada como paso con windows vista, windows 7.....y sigue.... Al final cuando saquen windows 11.1 bajaran los requisitos....
