No, the requirements are TPM and secure boot _capable_, it doesn't require secure boot to be on nor does it enforce bitlocker. (Running Win11 Pro on an assortment of Ryzen's over here) On Mon, 7 Aug 2023 at 19:31, FORC5 wrote: > > does not 11 force Bitlocker ? > > fp > > On 8/7/2023 9:02 AM, gm

Maybe? All my org's Win10 laptops use Bitlocker by default anyways. Crazy in this day and age to not have that enabled on things that move around and can be lost. Home might be a different issue. - Brian On Mon, Aug 7, 2023 at 2:31 PM FORC5 wrote: > > does not 11 force Bitlocker ? >

FWIW on my personal machines I"m still running Win10 (and I've used GRC's handy little InControl utility to get it to shut up about the upgrade notifications). But that's because a) they're old (still running a 8700k on a A370 mobo) and b) I don't see much additi

In my experience, W11 is flakier than 10, and a bit slower.  When it goes wonky (gets trapped in a boot loop for instance, or a repeated explorer.exe crash) there doesn't appear to be a way to fix it other than a fresh install.  I'd avoid it unless you really need it. T On 06-Aug-2023 3:30 p.
