Windows 11 Thread

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

So the new upcoming windows has been leaked with a new interface and ui but something didn’t changed guess what?Yes the windows store.What are your thoughts on the looks? https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/15/22535123/microsoft-windows-11-leak-screenshots-start-menu

Here is the app where you can check if your pc meets the minimum requirements https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11?wa=wsignin1.0

It brings very powerful tools from the series x with it which kinda sounds interesting

It’s not finished yet

[KENJI]

Wasn't there the saying. Just skip one windows version from time to time?
I think i might get windows 12 in a few decades

Motherboards supporting Win11

These below features must be available and enabled in your Motherboard BIOS:

> UEFI & Secure Boot
> Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0

For reference, Win10 requires TPM 1.2, but this has changed after "Win10 build 1607" and from that moment onwards, Win10 required TPM 2.0. Long story short, if your Motherboard supports "Win10 64bit build 1703" or later, then it should support Win11.

I read over multiple forums over few days and i wanted to inform you all (Folks of Off-Topic Community) via the header because SEVERAL CPUs are listed as unsupported for Windows11 as of now. I wanted to clear confusions.

Regards. :Hand_Shake:

Thanks for the post.

It looks like I'm out of the running because of my Intel i7-7700k cpu (according to an article I read earlier today).

I think my Asus Z270E motherboard does have the UEFI and Secure Boot options (although I'm unsure if they're currently enabled), but it looks like I'd have to purchase and plug in the actual TP module.

I'm running Windows 10 ver 2004 (20H1), build 19041, but I'm not sure exactly how that plays into Win11 compatibility. 😶

You may have to go into your CMOS settings and enable Intel Platform Trust Technology which is TPM 2.0 integrated into the processor. Secure Boot just has to be available, not necessarily enabled, but you do have to boot your system via UEFI.

I have the exact same processor, passed the system requirements with flying colors, but I do have the plug-in TPM installed.

I've a hate-love relation with focus on gaming.

1. Its awesome gaming is a thing
2. The more mainstream gaming become the more boring it gets.

I have a Gigabyte Z97-HD3 Rev. 2.0, and after doing some research, it looks like I don't have a TPM header on the board, so it looks like I'm out of luck.

Now I'm thinking about looking for a board that supports my 4790K and DDR3, but also has TPM, or at least has the headers.

Sounds impractical, but I don't have the scratch, or desire, to buy a whole new processor and 32 GB of new RAM, and possibly new power supply too. Besides the 4790K is still a flawless processor.

Still waiting on an answer in the other thread about whether I can enable something called fTPM, because I can't find it in my BIOS screen, which I know next to nothing about.

4790k is still a good processor but if you upgrade to a 10th gen processor, you will definitely feel the difference in games like stellaris. On large maps where the end games turns can take up to a minute to process. The new processors do it like 5x faster.

I hope to see much more storage with Windows 11. Also hope its friendly with my Steam game hard drives. Would be nice if those were functional as needed between machines in case my future Windows 11 machine needed a replacement or an upgrade.

I may have to, and I'll probably wait until MS cancels Win10 support in 2025. According to the list at Microsoft, Win11 won't support my processor at all.

i fully agree that processor is kinda flawless. i have a 4790K too, which i have not even tried to OC yet due to its strong performance level for all games&programs i execute. I also bought 2133mHz DDR3 kits totalling at 32GB in 2015. And at that time, i bought the highest available mobo model for gaming that could run a i7-4790k. It had a TPM header which looked like just another "overkill" item in that board as voltage sensor points. I didn't know that little feature which many do not use will prove crucial in the future.

Brother, i don't have a spare z97 board with TPM header on it but it is possible that you can find one of those boards in internet.

Even if you can't find one, you can still use Windows10 after 2025 as long as you don't run a formal business with that machine. It will be a long long time when games drop support for Windows 10. Yes, it may not sound ideal, but still better than wasting a great CPU just for Win11. And don't forget, some people still use Windows 7 and play their most loved games now. From what happened with XP, Steam ended support for XP OS in 2019, 5 years after Microsoft ended its extended support in 2014 for WinXP. In this case, it won't be surprising if Steam supports Win10 at least 5 years into the future counting from 2025 October.

In my case, this worked well. I used WindowsXP with a 2003 spec Pentium 4 machine all the way into 2015. Then i jumped into Windows10. It works as long as you threat your PC good, whether it is ON or OFF gaming.

This is really all I care about. Thank you for the additional information. (I think I'll plan on sticking with Windows 10 for as long as I can get away with it. Phooey on Windows 11, haha! 😜)

It all depends on what new APIs come out with Windows 11 that game developers might mandate. Windows 11 will give NVMe equipped PCs a feature called DirectStorage which will make throughput on par with next-gen consoles.

Win 11 gets supported until the end of 2022

I'm pretty good with what I've got on board right now. (My game backlog is so huge that I probably won't live long enough to play my way through it. 😆)
