I'll go for it when its ready. there's some info come into the windows update setting box.
Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. Specific timing for when it will be offered can vary as we get it ready for you.

I think I'd be a tad circumspect given M$'s record of releasing dogs every other OS? I'd wait until the dust settles and the fat lady sings nob. I have since discovered that deletion of a certain file removes the upgrade prohibition and doesn't rely on a registry hack that could conceivably put the boot into future automatic updates. When my source lets me know what it is, I'll post it on here for the benefit of any other scrofulate lepers with geriatric PCs!

Well he hasn't come up with the goods yet, but that's due to my personal eMail addy not being listed on the club's members register and neither of us has the other's blower. I am hoping that he'll be on the Sunday evening Club VHF net tonight (he usually is) and I shall ask him to let me know. But for now, I have found this; nerdschalk.com/windows-11-without-tpm-how-to-bypass-tpm-requirement-and-install-the-os/And it looks a lot more involved than simply deleting a file! More as and when. e&oe ... |

I turned TPM on in the bios I think by default it is of.

I have TPM turned on in the BIOS, but it is V1.2 and Bill's Bilge is fixated on the latest version. I don't blame Redmond because if they release compromised operating systems and the world's scrotes home in on them it's M$ that takes the flack, but at the end of the day, it's driven by inherited and historically flakey code with a "new improved" hardware workaround. You only have to track down the same old tired utilities hidden inside the new bling GUI to realise that.
Anyone can deduce that this armchair naysayer is not well informed here, but I'm going to guess that rather than focus on the beyond gargantuan task of cleaning up all the unplugged inherited and legacy loopholes, they are just duck-shoving this corner of the security problem(s) onto the punters' purses by means of a trip to PC World or the like. Meanehile, thousands of tons of otherwise useable hardware embark on the slow death march into landfill. Green as the driven slush. The unquestioning well-adjusted and researched aficionados would no doubt beg to differ.

Well he wasn't on tonight. Turns out he retired this week and is on some jolly-up the lucky bar steward. I finally persuaded W10 to let me install the PC HealthCheck utility by the simple expediency of nuke-ing the installer process (pathetic isn't it?) That led me to Redmond's own online take on the latest kludge of their own fashioning; support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ways-to-install-windows-11-e0edbbfb-cfc5-4011-868b-2ce77ac7c70eWhich instructs you on how to create a new registry key / dWord. It's at least in part what that other link was going on about but seems simpler on the face of it, and does at least emanate from the nag's gob. It's just a shame they can't tell you that instead of just saying that your PC is not compatible. Nothing new here. Move along now. e&oe ... |

T'was all deep joy here last night, I followed the destructions from that link and made the necessary change in the BIOS. "No operating system found. Retrying at one second intervals." I managed to retrieve sanity somewhere around a quarter to one this morning.
Sigh; "Let me count the ways."

All three of mine are "unsuitable" nob. I've exercised the registry hash on all three, but our main PC (at least) has around ten drivers that M$ allege are incompatible with the W11 start up security hurdle race, and a couple of those are to do with the embedded sound card. I suppose I could arrange for an USB sound card but what about the other eight? I just reckon stuff that shower, I'll wait for the inevitable fall out when they start to back pedal because of a dwindling number of installations. Déjà vu if you will?
