I think I'll resist installing it for a while, Win 10 runs fine after I uninstalled as much of the junk it allowed me to do so.
Microsoft PC health check to see if your PC can run Win 11 has now had the link removed as it gave incorrect information.
A device on the motherboard called a TPM .2 chip is required, most modern mother boards should have one but unless 'secure boot' is enabled in the bios settings then the Win 11 check will say fail.
Type tpm.msc in the bottom left search box and it will tell you if it is activated or not. lots of info about this on the web inc mentions of a tiny plug in device that's suddenly gone very expensive!
Although I'm 75 I enjoy gaming and I have since the early 1980's games, I have an expensive gaming machine with high end graphix, memory etc. I assembled all the PC parts myself in 2016, I just tried the TPM check and see this message, if I have a TPM then it's probably not enabled in the bios as I had no reason to activate it. I am very familiar with opening the bios and have updated it recently. How many people have ever gone into the bios( which runs invisibly before windows starts) to alter settings? probably not many.
I'll take a look at mine and see if 'secure boot' is enabled, it's just a security device but you can't install Win 11 without it.
