Installation on an i7-5820K processor Windows 11 works well with this CPU model
Hello. Your i7-5820K is running on an ASUS X99-A with a TPM chip installed, but the compatibility check for Windows 11 still flags it as incompatible. Are you facing any other issues?
You can place it in any situation. It works with DISM even if your system isn't suitable. Don't forget to bring the TPM chip if you plan to use it later.
I bought an Asus TPM-M 14-1 Pin R2.0 for the X99-A II, installed it and it worked perfectly, even switching my Windows 10 from Legacy to UEFI without any effort. I verified system compatibility by opening "Windows Security" (Shield icon in Taskbar) then selecting "Device Security." The TPM appeared under the Security Processor and Secure Boot was also listed (both marked green). I believe if either isn't visible, Windows 11 won't install at this stage, though this might change later. The Windows Insider Program noted my system didn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, but the Preview version appeared in my updates. After multiple failed attempts to install the Win 11 update (3 or more times), it finally worked! It's also good to note that my boot time has improved significantly.
The TPM requirement fulfills one of the necessary conditions; the remaining ones pertain to CPU security enhancements that only certain processors support. Without these, performance drops noticeably when moving from Windows 10 to 11. Although you may not notice the impact, it exists. While some might be fine with it, others won't. Windows 11 Insiders have access to new features. The future is uncertain after an official launch. It seems doors will stay open for Insiders, but switching to the main release requires reverting to Windows 10 or using workarounds. Microsoft appears to be steering clear of Vista entirely. Their approach was lenient with OEMs, assuming users would handle limitations. Yet they pushed users to install on unsupported systems, sparking strong reactions because older versions like XP ran smoothly while Vista caused crashes due to driver issues. Most manufacturers didn’t back Vista, effectively ending its support. Only a handful of systems that fully supported Vista from hardware to software had a smooth transition. Now, with UEFI enabled in Windows 11, it appears your setup wasn’t properly configured.
I've had the same CPU issues before, including the Asus 2.0 TPM I purchased. My Windows 11 installed properly on my Intel NUC (NUC6i5SYH), but I can't find any mention of MS supporting the I7-5820K there. The i7-5850s are listed instead. What's going on?
