[GizmoMKD]

Hey guys, if someone has this boy can you check with PC Health app if it's supported for win11? a friend of mine want to buy LENOVO IdeaCentre 5 with this specs:

LENOVO IdeaCentre 5 14IMB05

512GB

it's coming with win10 pre-installed

If your friend is trying to buy a system with hopes of getting Windows 11 on it, it's best you let the OS mature and is in the hands of pretty much everyone, so that early adopters can tell you what's bad with the OS and if all the hoop jumping is worth it. In that essence, you should tell him to wait for proper OS support and the OS to roll out or buy the system a little later.

If it's an i5-10400, it will be supported if the required features are turned on out of the box. Otherwise, they will have to be turned on manually from the BIOS. My Dell 8940 SE, i5-10400, is running the Windows 11 developers preview right now, and I didn't have to activate anything manually. I don't know how Lenovo ships their systems, though.

Lenovo have a Win 10 compatibility list of all devices that work with it... why did I mention win 10? Cause undoubtedly they will make one for win 11 too... so I would wait or you can ask Lenovo about it now, since its hardware makers lagging behind that is cause of anyone needing to ask about tpm

Trick is he needs system now for work, so hopefully someone has this system and tried pc health check app from minisoft.

Probably.

But as Win 11 is not yet released, and Win 10 won't fall off support for several years....

I am still looking for the thing that makes 11 better than 10. Every video is just on what it looks like... so what? you can already get shells for it.

I don't see the need to have it.

Yeah it’s mostly just a new shell big deal

 

[Colif]

They used to sell expansion packs that had extra themes.
Now they selling an entire OS on what it looks like... (keeps thinking back to win 8 and thinking, 10 was just a new shell) . Wonders how many have just been reskins. Win 7 was just Vista with a new theme... people. wake up. They just replaying the same thing every 5 years.

i think dev preview is not doing TMP validations as you can install it on unsupported hardware as well? am i right?

The internals of windows are changing for sure it’s not just a new shell

you got some proof?

 

[Deleted member 14196]

None other than the articles I’ve been reading. being in the software development business I know that things are always changing

 

[Colif]

hard to find articles that talk about anything other than its visual changes. I live in hope.

That's the leaked copy, and that only installs to VM's. The official preview does do the check. That was the reason for releasing the app that tells whether you computer is compatible or not in advance of the insiders release.
