The Operating System Thread: Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS, Linux, and more

I think thats what cool for me with this is this doesn't seem such a big change. They are changing the User Interface but it won't feel like such a big transition from Windows 10. I just got a new pc less than 12 months ago. At first I was like "ugh why now". But then its a free update. I just hope my pc gets all the requirements for the Windows 11 upgrade. If not, it doesn't seem like a big loss as this appears (from.the reactions I've seen online) more of an interface change.

I have to make a Microsft account though which I have been avoiding to do and I always get a notification for that.everytime I open my pc.

 

Have you executed tpm.msc in Start > Run? Check if it's not already enabled before going into the BIOS.

I looked at the HP website and TPM 1.2 is supported on your Omen Pro. Although you should be able to upgrade to Win11 since 1.2 is the minimum, the CPU is not supported. My mobo supports TPM 2.0 but my 6600K is not supported. So we're **** out of luck (for now hopefully).

As for your BIOS situation, generally UEFI mode is recommended since it introduces some security features and has better boot times especially with an SSD. Honestly, if you use Win10 or any modern Linux distro, there's no reason to use legacy mode. Also, UEFI has a sexier user interface.

 

I just ran this tool from GitHub:

I think it's because your SSD is an MBR disk instead of a GPT disk.

Open a command in admin and run: diskpart, then list disk. See if there's an asterisk under the GPT column for your SSD.

You can convert from MBR to GPT in you want:
Change a Master Boot Record (MBR) into a GUID partition table (GPT) disk

Obviously, you'll lose everything so back up your files first.

 

Got'cha.

There's also third-party tools like MiniTool Partition that can easily do this within 2-3 clicks if you want something more user-friendly than a command-line interface.

 

The dev build does not have the TPM requirement. I've read some users who run it on 7th and possibly 6th gen Intel.

A Raspberry Pi 4 can even run it.

Users get Windows 11 running on a Lumia 950 XL and Raspberry Pi 4

 

They've disabled the requirement for dev builds it seems. So once the full release is out, TPM requirement will be enforced.

It's a 20-dollar module that you can install on your mobo if it's not available so I'm not too worried about that. However, the CPU requirement could quite be problematic...

Alexa, Cortana, Siri, Bixby, Celia... Whatever the name is, I'll just disable the feature.

 

Out of curiosity, I checked if my mobo had the TPM option and it does and it was a super cheap mobo which was already old when I bought it back in 2016. Gigabyte H110M-S2H.
So unless one runs an antediluvian computer, it should be of no concern.
