Windows 11 to Ship Without TPM Requirement for 'Special Purpose' Systems


Microsoft infused Windows 11 with an onerous new requirement that blocks any system without Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 tech from installing the new operating system, but it turns out the company will allow some systems to ship without the feature enabled. Unfortunately, normal users probably won't have access to the installation ISOs or workaround used for those builds, though it's conceivable that we could see them leak to the public. Instead, these special builds are likely tailored for use in countries that don't use Western encryption technologies, like China and Russia.

Yes but why would you want Windows 11 on them all now anyway? Things may change...
To nie I like it. To be true, at least for me, it is more colourful 10.
Knowing that there may be sorry for Android apps I may like it even more.

But it's still very much in it's infancy. There can, and will be problems with Win 11. I would strongly advise you to hold off putting this on all of your devices.

I think by the time Windows 11 is released to the public they'll be hundreds of hacks that will cause Microsoft a big headache and in turn will cause them to stop this nonsense and remove these obstacles for which most people worldwide will find meaningless
I totally agree. I mean how many people (including myself) have gotten the ridiculous denial notice saying we can't run it because of some stupid thing. For me it was my CPU, but guess what I turned on the TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot that my motherboard (Gigabyte brand) had already. and it's working. No hacks or anything, except for the ones that cause me to mess with the registry to keep things on or off.

{Thoughts on Windows 11]

For me; I see it just as Windows 10 was. yes somethings are different looking, but as with any new OS, you will have changed. The best OS that I like because you could slim it down to basically nothing, (meaning no Trackers - but still have trackers), was Windows 7 Ultimate.

With that being said; I feel if anyone of us (like I said before, ME included) if you don't like being tracked, then best thing is to hit the on/off switch. and walk away.

This is just my OPINION and not intended to offend anybody or make anybody mad.

The main tracking I notice is due to cookies in web browsers. When I get tired of ads following me around, I clear all cookies. The ads revert to untargeted ones.

If any of the browsers allowed cookies that could not be deleted, that would be worth a serious protest.

I was first downloaded to test the hybrid media.. But an another workaround that keeps the Windows Security GUI good, so I used that method. No Winpass11 (because it was an clean install) and no checks about the CPU.

I did the Winpass11 and it went great.
Thanks Bill. (y)

I see this after the install was finished.

Not sure what will happen then, but I guess it'll be exactly as it says.
