Win 11 has requirements that seem to obsolete a bunch of quite recent processors and devices.
Windows can be manually updated on these machines but they will feel obsolete. - TPM 2.0 required. Documented a lot of places. It can be added to many systems that don't have it. - obsolete: Ryzen 1 and older AMD - obsolete: most Intel Core 7th gen and all older - obsolete: any device that has no DCH driver (these can include things on the motherboard) - unknown: Atom-based processor (like I'm typing this on). All these will still work fine with Linux. I don't think any of my systems will qualify for Win 11. <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/loosened-windows-11-requirements-cover-the-surface-studio-2-but-not-much-else/> <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/why-windows-11-has-such-strict-hardware-requirements-according-to-microsoft/> --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
