Microsoft releases Windows 11 Insider Preview, attempts to defend labyrinth of hardware requirements

Swordfish1

And MS expect everyone to upgrade systems with TPM 2.0

My Sabertooth MB, has a 20 pin connector, for such a device

Our laptop won't as its 12 years old, but is running the latest version of windows 10

My wife's computer, I'll have to checkout the pinout on the MB - its the original Ryzen ROG MB, Asus - Crosshero IV .

If worst comes to the worst, I'll install Chrome on the Laptop, and Ubuntu or Lime on the PC's, and just dump MS

I've not used Chrome, but I used to have Linux software tri-booting on my PC, so I can handle the likes of Ubuntu, and Lime.

MS - not everyone can afford to replace their main boards , and all associated stuff such as CPU's RAM, etc

I can afford a suitable TPM chip, but those have rocketed in price, and we do need a tool, that checks your system, and point you in the right direction, regarding a suitable TPM, for a particular system.

Much like what memory manufactures do, like Crucial- Download a tool, and it scans your system, and recommends a compatible device.

Otherwise MS, you can stick your Windows 11 update

Very pissed off CS
