How to pass the Windows 11 Compatibility Checks
Autism Awareness - Blessed
Okay. So according to my HP 550-153w desktop, the TPM is disabled/missing. Does that mean I can enable it in the BIOS or what do I do?

Look at Ghot's post
how-to-pass-the-windows-11-compatibility-checks Look at the Work-arounds Section at the bottom. After following what Ghot posted you should be able to install on most systems old and new. I installed on a 10 year old Dell laptop. Check my sects.

As it's a prebuilt system we have no motherboard manuals to check the bios setting, the only way to find out is to go into the bios and look for TPM or PTT or Trusted Platforum, etc and try enabling them.

I have a 250GB SSD. . I don't really want to Dual-Boot. . . And another thing, i'm not even sure if there's a way to genuinely activate Windows 11 right now.

I've an HP laptop of the same age with a sparse UEFI bios. This might help. To get to the bios it's tapping F10 on startup. Go to security heading and check if you see TPN. If it's there un-hide it and make it available.

I've an HP laptop of the same age with a sparse UEFI bios. This might help. To get to the bios it's tapping F10 on startup. Go to security heading and check if you see TPN. If it's there un-hide it and make it available.

I've always found it simpler to hit esc as you press the power button. That brings up an HP menu.

When it comes time for me to move to Win 11, I think I'm gonna go the "Upgrade" route.
Seems a lot easier and I can keep my Programs and files.

Is anyone running Windows 11 as their default OS right now? I'm considering it as long as everything seems to be working properly.
It's on everybody's machine, just some of us have opted to install the leaked Windows 11
Theme Pack !
Aside from the Taskbar no longer being integrated with the Explorer frame, the rest is just cosmetic

That will be the only way I upgrade too, after I make a complete image backup 1st of course.
