thats cause boards support a plug in TPM module as well as the firmware/mobo one

That's not exactly how TPM works. Either a board has it, or it doesn't. For boards that do, there are modules that can be customized and used, but there is no way to give a board TPM if it was not built with support for it.

not necessarily.

 

[CountMike]

not necessarily.

That's true, most MBs without built in TPM have at least a connector for it. My oldest one GA-990XA-UD3 (rev. 1.1) is like that, had to get and use TPM because of Bitlocker.

Ah, but that was my point, if a motherboard/OEM system has a port or jack for a TPM module, than the TPM hardware is also present on the board as well as the microcode in the firmware.

the BIOS are defaulting to the external module (which is not installed) and thats why we get the error about unsupported, until we go and change that setting

No, connector is only one, nothing on MB itself

Hi,
I'm pretty sure my old acer 775 socket board doesn't have any tpm bios setting and likely no socket either and even if it did finding a tpm chip for it would be pretty silly venture lol
Bitlocker is another feature I have zero interest in using or activating accidentally.

Windows 11 supported processors.

AMD: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors

Intel: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...pported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

I think you both misunderstand how the TPM system works. For TPM to work there must be a hardware interface component built into the board and the TPM software built into the BIOS/UEFI microcode. A jack or port for a TPM module is in addition-to that which is already installed on the board. Some plugin modules provide for additional features on top of those offered by default. Not all TPM configurations require a jack/port. There are some boards which support TPM but require a module to complete the functionality. However even in those instances, parts of the TPM platform are present on the board in question but are simply disabled/inactive.

 

[Mussels]

I think you're misunderstanding what we're saying

Many modern boards support both, with an internal firmware option and an external module
They only have two BIOS options Firmware, or external - and they default to external, disabling the firmware support.

I've checked all my AM4 boards here, and ALL of them behave this way by default, despite being from asus, giga, aorus, and MSI.

Win 11 can't identify that it's been switched to that 'external' setting and just says 'nah get fucked, no W11 for you' and the wording we've been using is from the windows 11 messages about unsupported, blahblah. I'm curious why my Ryzen 1000 is supposedly unsupported, when the same B450 board i have could run ryzen 1k 2k and 3k chips, with most of them on the official list

A change in the security features in that chip?
SME/ SEV?

Rounded corners you say. Hey MS, my video card and monitor can display more than 8 colours.

I should hope so. I think you mean bits per color, not literally 8 colors?

 

[Mussels]

You know what would make windows 11 take off like a rocket?

built in RGB control software, that devs implement a plugin and the OS can control and sync all the lighting

Whats a TPM? It looks like from the system check that my almost year old HP Laptop will be able to take windows 11. I suppose my newer DELL AIO will probably be able to get it as well.

You should be good to go, you just need to enable it in bios. Look for "Platform Trust Technology (PTT)" on Intel and "firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM)" on AMD.

This page has some info.

I can't agree with this. Windows 10 has earned itself a reputation and not a good one. Microsoft is correct trying to leave it behind. The key point is that they need to get A WHOLE LOT right for Windows 11 to shine and stand above the gloom cast by Windows 10.

That's my point. Delivering a bug free OS. Because so far 21H1 is the most stable version of Windows 10. If they manage to deliver a bug free OS at launch, it's awesome. The UI is perfect, clean and modern. I like it already (not the leaked version, the one shown by themselves) but I'm not very optimistic.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Stable compared to what? I have never had 10 crash on me. I've seen it do the smiley face when attempting an OC, but never in normal operations. By comparison, since ServicePack1 I have not seen Windows 7 crash either. So stability is very relative. Not really that big of a concern anymore..

Ah, this is what you mean, bug & glitch free. Agreed.

The UI is perfect, clean and modern. I like it already (not the leaked version, the one shown by themselves)

I wouldn't say it's perfect, but it is an improvement over Windows 10.

but I'm not very optimistic.

...right there with you...

Yes it is relative. By stable I mean something like Windows 7 experience not necessarily a BSOD. I remember that on early versions of Windows 10 after hanging the time region, I couldn't add new icon to Start menu for about a week! That was a really weird bug. I think it was like that until 1703.

Another interesting problem was with some Windows 8.1 tablets that had received Windows 10 update. If you would've put them on sleep while their battery was running out, You couldn't turn it back on until reinstalling the OS! Even with hybrid sleep being enable.

Anyway let's just hope for a bug free OS for all
