[INFORMATION] Windows 11 : Get Ready

[MoKiChU]

Hi everyone,

Get Ready

Check for compatibility



Use the PC Health Check to see if your PC can run Windows 11.

Minimum system requirements

Processor : 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
Memory : 4 gigabyte (GB) RAM.
Storage : 64 GB or larger storage device.
System firmware : UEFI, Secure Boot capable.
TPM : Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0.
Graphics card : Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver.
Display Resolution : High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9� diagonally, 8 bits per color channel.
Internet connection : Microsoft account and internet connectivity required for setup for Windows 11 Home.

Your device must be running Windows 10, version 2004 or later, to upgrade. Free updates are available through Windows Update in Settings>Update and Security.

Certain features require specific hardware. System requirements to run some apps will exceed the Windows 11 minimum device specifications. Check device compatibility information specific to the apps you want to install.
Available storage on your device will vary based on installed apps and updates. Performance will scale with higher end, more capable PCs. Additional requirements may apply over time and for updates.

BIOS settings to meets the system requirements to run Windows 11 :

Start/Restart your PC then press Del when the ROG/TUF/PRIME logo appears to enter in your BIOS

Press F7 to switch in Advanced Mode

UEFI

Boot tab > CSM > Launch CSM : Disabled

Secure Boot

Boot tab > Secure Boot > OS Type : Windows UEFI Mode

TPM 2.0

AMD fTPM : Advanced tab > AMD fTPM configuration > TPM Device Selection : Firmware TPM or AMD fTPM : Enabled > OK

Intel PTT : Advanced tab > PCH-FW Configuration > TPM Device Selection : Firmware TPM or PTT : Enable > OK

Press F10 to Save & Exit

Notes

- If your BIOS is up to date, some settings are already enabled.
- The tree structure or the naming of the settings may be different depending on the BIOS generation & range of your ASUS motherboard.

And why does ASUS motherboards NOT come with TPM module installed. This is BS! I just bought the Hero XIII z590 a high end board and guess what NO TPM module. It must be bought separately. MSI and GIGASBYTE boards have TPM module installed, but not ASUS. All my Hero boards (got VIII -X and XI) and Z87 pro have NO TPM module.
Come on ASUS this is just so stupid. You have to do something about it and send a module to all your customers .If not, you will alien a lot of people in the future. I am going to buy GIGABYTE in the future, that's for sure

That's because discrete TPM modules are no longer required with modern Chipset/CPUs. You can still get TPM support by enabling it in the BIOS (just like the original thread explains)

That is my understanding as well. I have an 8700K on a Max X Hero Wifi and a 5950X on a CX-8 Hero. I don't think I need to install a physical TMP2.0 module in either one of them to run Windows 11. My question is, if this is true, why does Asus put a TMP header on these motherboards? Both of mine have TPM headers. Why?

the tpm headers are for typically for business/enterprise customers to have more control over their users. if the module is removed the storage would not be able to be decrypted.

I've owned a lot of Gigabyte motherboards. None of them came with TPM modules. There's firmware TPM, but everyone has that, if the platform supports it.

Why is so happen?

Final release of W11 will disabled this check.

Due it was on delevopment period secure must be first priority.


If you're Windows Insider member.
This section will be bypass checking.

Hi everyone,

The list of Windows 11 Supported Processors (AMD & Intel) according to Microsoft was added to the thread.

I doubt TPM will be required once launched, typically only on laptops and business pc's use them.

Hi,

Final release will require the same requirements :

While we recommend that all PCs meet the full hardware requirements for Windows 11, we are allowing some limited exceptions as we apply these new restrictions. All Windows Insiders who have already been installing builds from the Dev Channel on their PCs up through June 24, 2021 will be allowed to continue installing Windows 11 Insider Preview builds even if their PC does not meet the minimum hardware requirements. Insiders with PCs already in the Dev Channel have been installing and giving feedback on builds with Windows 11 features since last year. Our way of saying thanks is to go ahead and give them the opportunity to see everything come together. However, this comes with some important tradeoffs we want to call attention to:

- Because these devices do not meet the new hardware requirements, there may be issues and bugs that impact the experience of Windows 11 on these PCs that may not get fixed.

- If at any point something goes wrong on one of these PCs that requires having to go back to Windows 10, you can use the media creation tool here to go back to the Windows 10. These PCs will not be given another exception and not allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 Insider Preview builds again. They will be treated as a new PC and the minimum hardware requirements will be enforced as highlighted above.

- Once Windows 11 is generally available, these PCs will be opted out of flighting and will not be able to receive future Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. These PCs must clean install back to Windows 10 with the media (ISOs) that we provide and can then join the Release Preview Channel to preview Windows 10 updates.

TPM 2.0 well known as OEM ecosystem components.
Since Intel 10th generation processor class released.
( Icelake U & Cometlake U )
AMD 2nd generation Ryzen processor class released.



In D.I.Y. market UEFI 2.0 BIOS act as TPM 2.0 chips.
So ASUS and other vendors may not integrated
those TPM chip inside their board.

No they don't.....The pc health app says you can't install windows 11 despite what you say . You must buy a TPM module.

Hi,

You probably haven't read the first post of the thread to the end :

BIOS settings to meets the UEFI, Secure Boot & TPM v2.0 requirements to run Windows 11 (if your CPU is one of the Windows 11 Supported Processors, otherwise the presence of these settings is not guaranteed) :

- UEFI : Boot tab > CSM > Launch CSM : Disabled
- Secure Boot : Boot tab > CSM > Secure Boot : Windows UEFI Mode
- TPM v2.0 :

- Intel : Advanced tab > PCH-FW Configuration or PTT Configuration > TPM Device Selection : Firmware TPM or PTT : Enabled
