Microsoft does and doesn't require VMs to meet hardware requirements for Windows 11

I'd rather they backtrack on the CPU position as opposed to the TPM position being frank.

Be prepared.....

Re: What's Microsoft going to do if everyone just stays on Windows 10?

I doubt it.

We've had MANY releases of Windows 10 1508, 1609, 1703.... and it's still not even 50% done.....

A bit like.....

Computer Says No

Flight Major Here

I have a TPM 2.0 on my speedy i7-7600 HP Envy 17 (128gb m2nvme +1TB HDD + Intel HD620+TPM2.0) but, unfortunately, Microsoft ended my illustrious Flight Career on Insider Preview when they made my 2017/2018 laptop "exempt" due to being series 7 CPU. The fact that I have a fully working TPM2.0 does not cut it, apparently.

One suspects there is more to this than meets the eye. But one cannot comment for fear of Intel and Microsoft kicking the door in at 5am.

One map to rule them all: UK's Ordnance Survey rolls out its Data Hub and the juicy API goodness that lies therein

Oh no, not again...

Several days have passed since these discussions began.

I do tend to agree with John H Woods and am grateful for Boothy's explanation also.

This whole subject takes me back to a 1970s discussion about Computer Time and Time. One wonders just how many discussions have been ongoing since.

It's important that the OS keeps systems and data updated, because, as a UK Government Agency, they have to sell it. That doesn't make it the license holder or Fat Controller.
