They aren't offering a temporary fix; it's clear they're restricting devices that don't meet the required specs. Users needing to revert to Windows 10 will have to downgrade from the insider builds.
They still require TPM for internal modifications, and it seems they aren’t planning to allow installation in CSM mode without a TPM, secure boot, or any changes to the installer.
I don't notice your CPU here??? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...processors I don't think it matters now, but officially supported is not. Same as my Intel i5-7200.
Same here, i5 7400. As you mentioned, it's not like Ryzen 1000 or lower (1600af is unclear) or Intel 7000 series or less.
I'm having trouble turning on the TPM because it blocks access to the BIOS. The system reported an error after you enabled certain settings, so I had to turn it off just to boot into Windows. I’m unsure if I’m doing this wrong—I don’t have Fast Boot enabled, maybe I need to enable it first. This is frustrating since I want to be able to install Windows 11 even if the laptop only supports older generations. It’s disappointing that a high-end machine can’t get the latest OS while a cheaper one can. If anyone has advice, please share!
TPM support in older BIOS versions can be problematic, particularly for consumer devices. My ASUS laptop runs a 2019 BIOS that does recognize TPM, but the system struggles to activate it fully. Major brand manufacturers often manage this more effectively on legacy hardware (like my 2013 HP). A bit similar: I’m not sure if this is just a perception, but the updated task scheduler in Windows 11 appears to utilize older AMD FX processors better. Smoother performance is noticed with these devices compared to Windows 10, though no major differences appear for newer Intel and AMD chips. I’m curious about whether their Alder Lake optimizations include scheduling profiles tailored for Bulldozer or Piledriver configurations. I have four machines running Windows 11 (Zen+, Zen2, Coffee Lake, and Piledriver).
