Exactly! After people realize that there is no point in rushing to buy the external discrete TPM module the price will return as was before. In fact: A) Your PC has a CPU that is included in the Microsoft Windows 11 compatibility list --> You already have the TPM switch to enable it on your...

No. Intel for example have added hardware and firmware mitigations regarding Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities only to its Coffee Lake-R processors and onwards (announced on Oct 2018). So Intel 8th Gen KabyLake-R processors that are on the win11 compatibility list must be excluded as well...

what an interesting read the article they published today on the blog: "Using the principles above, we are confident that devices running on Intel 8th generation processors and AMD Zen 2 as well as Qualcomm 7 and 8 Series will meet our principles around security and reliability and minimum...

Just to be prepared since the removal of the tool can be interpreted in several ways... remember to check all your systems released after 28 July 2016 for an option/switch in the BIOS to enable / disable the TPM 2.0. In case of an AMD system is called fTPM, in case of an Intel one PTT. If the...

yes, you are right everyone would have been careful, but on the other hand who activated it? At most the Secure Boot, but the TPM... The most absurd thing is that mine is an OEM system, it's not a motherboard. It is a ZBOX nano pc from Zotac...so OEM. That's what I tried to explain. The only...

they have removed from the site all versions apart from the last (unfortunately a practice that tends to occur more and more often...). I tried to retrieve them online but they were not "archived" anywhere. Unfortunately the product was launched in January 2020, they removed the TPM with an...

have you read what I wrote 5 posts above yours? some even removed TPM... Are you sure things will go your way? don't you think instead it will be easier that in all cases where there are problems to solve they will only bring out slightly different new products "windows 11 compatible" and those...

message also to those who wrote and published the article: Have you had direct contact with someone from Microsoft who explained it differently? Because in the document that has been linked related to the windows 11 requirements is written clearly that, upon approval from Microsoft, some OEM...

@drew2355 @friedpenguin I don't want to report again here but if you want and have some time read my message on the other news it is not so simple even for recent products, if it is not publicly stated by Microsoft what should do those who find themselves dealing with unfair manufacturers like...

@excalibur1814 when in the past a new windows release has excluded CPUs launched on the market 3 or 4 years earlier? I don't remember cases... Think for example at Ryzen 2xxxG launched on mid-2018 and unsupported at the moment. When a CPU that ONLY supported the operating system of the period...

In the X370 taichi you still receive the message “The processor isn’t supported for Windows 11” even after enabling in the BIOS, section Advanced-CPU Configuration the AMD fTPM switch ?

@CaedenV for sure I'm against them since they don't want to do something about this:D. It's not my main system anyway... however my concerns are regarding the requirement of the TPM in general. I use the example of this pc because it shows that it's not a problem that concerns only some...

infact, we should not be "tempted" to make a system more insecure attempting to remove something that is totally unnecessary as a mandatory security requirement. It should be left optional as it is now. It's just doing things like this that makes a system insecure other than this unnecessary...

@Colif exactly. I have Secure Boot function but not fTPM on BIOS @CaedenV thanks for your suggestion however unfortunately it is not possible, let's see what Zotac have done on this 2020 product with Ryzen 3200U that is on win11 compatibility list...I bought it six months ago, they launched it...

The problem is that we don't have the final version, only the "usual" leaked version, knowingly circulated to evaluate public reactions before the launch of the final version. It will be necessary to wait to see if the possibility of bypassing these requirements will be left even in the final...
