Health Checker just got update, tell me the CPU is issue no mention of lack of TPM.

Ditto.

Just a note folks, if you don't see anything related to TPM in your bios, you can also look for PTT as that is also for TPM

Microsoft has just released a NEW version of their PC Health Check tool.
You can install it right over top of the old one.

I think I found my issue.. it's a secure boot issue.

Still OK

Yeah I re-ran mine as well, and was OK.

My guess is that w/e they did, they just helped those that failed before, to pass more easily?

6th gen Intel CPU

Then there's this,

Something else cool I know I'll appreciate with Windows 11.
I use two monitors, and an Nvidia graphics card.
How many of you multi monitor uses hate it when Nvidia updates graphics drivers and during the update your drivers disconnect and reconnect, and you find your open windows and apps(like Afterburner or sticky notes) all moved to your primary monitor when the drivers reconnect you monitors to Windows?
Eleven is suppose to fix that crap.

Not listing Intel Core 7th gen although it has the same architecture as the 8th, they even have the same release note 7th Gen and 8th Gen (U Quad-Core) Intel(R) Processor Families..., is totally an economic decision and not about supported CPUs, I wouldn't think that Microsoft will stoop to this level.

johnlgalt · Jun 25, 2021

Lol yeah. Same - nVidia GTX 970 and dual monitors (normally a pair of 1080p monitors, but right now testing a 4K).

That feature is actually one that I am kinda excited about -0 the minimize the windows that were on another display. It's *technically* more designed in mind for those who use external monitors for devices with internal displays (laptops, tablets, etc.) but I see no reason why it should not work for desktops with multiple monitors as well.

Only concern I have is that it may not work fully as this would be a difference than removing an external display, as the entire driver is wiped and a default driver is used as the nVidia driver is updated. Time will tell.

I certainly hope it works.

or it is a decision that its completely arbitrary, and has 0 to do with economics - because TPM 2.0 became an ISO supported standard in 2016, and they could very well have picked an arbitrary date of Oct 2017 as the cutoff for CPU support.

I know that, but the fact Microsoft did that makes me sick. I already have windows 11 installed on VMware machine.

An average user with Intel core 7th gen may consider buying a new PC because of this policy!

Read this:

Windows 11 enables security by design from the chip to the cloud

Over the last year, PCs have kept us connected to family, friends, and enabled businesses to continue to run. This new hybrid work paradigm has got us thinking about how we will continue to deliver the best possible quality, experience, and security for the more than 1 billion people who use...

And the comments that follow by me, and others are they post.

It starts to make a whole lot more sense.

steve108 · Jun 25, 2021

My i7 CPU is not listed either, but I hope this means it will still work:
"The true minimum requirements are TPM 1.2 and a 64-bit dual-core CPU that’s 1GHz or greater."

Why Windows 11 is forcing everyone to use TPM chips

You probably already have one, but it may not be enabled.

NO 7th gen and below CPus are listed. NO 1st gen Ryzen / Threadrippers are either.

45 minutes of my life gone... for nothing. :/

I do like that we're still "allowed" to use keyboards. :/

And mice. Did anyone in the presentation use a mouse? I recall lots of touchscreeing.

Melchior · Jun 25, 2021

I have no use for a TPM.... this and secure-boot as a requirement is ridiculous ...

my mobo has a socket/port for a TPM... so... I just can't afford $40 right now... from shady vendors... on Amazon.
