Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Why Windows 11 May Not Work On Your PC!”.
Windows 11 is officially out, but it may not be as easy to simply install or do a fresh upgrade as you think, because there are many hurdles that you’re going to have to overcome, to be able to install this OS on your system and have it up And going really good. Now before I get started, today’s video was inspired by an article that I saw on Ars Technica. I will have that link below., But before you go saying hey I wan na install Windows 11. There are some facts that you’re going to need to know before you do so.. So let’s talk tech, (, gentle upbeat, music ).
Did you just build yourself, a brand new PC, or did you just upgrade your old PC but find you’re in need of a Windows? 10 Key: If that’s the case, urcdkeys has you covered and buying it’s never been easier. All you do is go to urcdkeys website find the Windows software that you wan na, buy put it into your cart, enter the code. Tot20 apply the code, save yourself. Some extra money, and as soon as you complete your purchase, the Windows 10 Key – will be in your inbox..
There’S no problems, it’s really easy and all Keys are guaranteed to work. So you don’t have to worry about losing your money and you’ll have a valid Windows. 10 Key to get your unit up and running. So Windows 11.
It looks really cool.. It’S very Mac-ish, which I don’t find a problem, but some users may.. In fact.
Probably I see the future of Microsoft going to a completely Linux-based or Unix-based system in the near future, and windows. 11 is probably really the last OS that we’ll see that’s based on the x86 platform. Now before we get started.
Also, if you like my style, I’d really appreciate it of you like share and guess what Sub to the channel and when you sub to the channel, make sure you turn on that notifications, bell or you’ll, never know that I’m making videos.. So, let’s jump in and let’s see about all of the hurdles that you’ll have to overcome just to install Windows 11 on your PC. Windows, 11 may sound appealing. But there are a few factors you need to consider before attempting to simply upgrade or do a fresh install.. First off there are new hardware requirements that may keep you from either upgrading or just doing a fresh install.. So the first thing you need to consider are these basic system requires that are really high for Microsoft.
At this time. For the CPU, you need a one gigahertz or faster, with two or more cores, x86, 64 or Arm 64 only processors.. As far as the RAM requirements, four gigabytes or more but honestly, you guys know it’s at least eight gigabytes, even for Windows 10 to run properly.. Now, as far as the storage goes, Microsoft says, you need 64 gigabytes minimum for installation, but honestly I’d recommend at least 128 gigabytes for a vaguely normal system..
As far as the graphics go, it needs to be a graphics card, that’s compatible with DX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 drivers. Yeah, that’s pretty steep. Now the firmware has to be UEFI and Secure Boot. Capable.
TPM. This is Microsoft’s Trusted Platform Module. You have to have Version 2.0 because it’s listed as the minimum requirement. TPM, 1.2 may or may not be good enough, but don’t give up just quite yet. And as far as the display goes, it says you need a 720p minimum resolution with a nine inch minimum Diagonal measurement and eight bits per color channel or higher.. Ah, that’s not that bad pretty much.
We all have that.. The problem is, that is not the only thing you need in addition to those strict hardware, requirements. Windows, 11 Home requires a dedicated internet connectivity and the Microsoft Cloud account both.. The Microsoft account and internet connectivity are only mandatory for Home from what we know so far, but not Windows 11 Pro. Right now. Who knows if there’s even going to be a workaround like the current just unplug the network, cable and wait until after installation trick.? Now, although Windows 11 is setting the bar very high as far as components go, it may be possible that lower-end hardware may still work but the jury it’s still out on whether or not that pans out to be true.. So with that said, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens as many more users try to install Windows 11 on their older machines, but most likely it will work if not at its absolute best.. If Microsoft codes a hardware requirement checklist into the installer or boot sequence, many CPU’s that would have otherwise worked well will be unusable.. That seems fairly unlikely, but that information is really on hold for now., Most do-it-yourself PC motherboards. Even the best flagship boards do not come with an installed hardware, TPN module., But on the other hand, most of those boards do theoretically support hardware TPM using a special 19-pin header that is ready to plug one in.. However, it’s a very niche specialty device that few users have ever even thought of buying. Have you thought of buying one? I didn’t. There were a few dedicated TPM modules available, but if you did not buy one, it’s probably no sweat, as you most likely will not even need one.
And OEM. Hardware. Tpm is considered the most hardened version and it comes soldered directly to the board. In PCs, intended for enterprise use., Less hardened firmware, TPM support is built right into modern AMD and Intel processors, and that will Window’s 11’s TPM requirements without issue.. The main issue right now is it’s just too early to have a complete list of boards that had the onboard for more based, TPM., Mainly that is due because the need for it was fairly low.
Until this week, when Windows 11 was officially announced.. As far as we can see, every X86 64 CPU on Microsoft, supportive processor list includes the support and I will have a link down below to that list. Just for you, folks. Intel calls it’s firmware.
Based TPM IPPT, Intel Platform, Protection Technology and AMD calls its own FTPM Firmware Trusted Platform Module., Generally speaking, IPPT shows up in most Haswell Fourth-Generation core CPU’s. Although the Case Series gaming modules, unfortunately fail to get IPPT Intel Skylake, which is a sixth-generation core CPU. On the AMD side, we see FTPM come with rise in 2,500 CPU’s and the above., Although most of the semi modern CPU support firmware TPM, almost all motherboards ship With it disabled in the BIOS., What this means is, you will have to navigate through your BIOS, just define the right setting to enable it. Just one more hurdle.
You need to do just to install a new OS. And for many users this is going to be a pain in the proverbial ass.. Unfortunately, many OEM motherboards will probably have the FTPM disabled by default, and what is worse is that on many boards, this option may be unavailable, especially on some systems by Dell and HP. That will leave you out in the cold and unable to upgrade to Windows latest OS..
What you will need to do to determine whether TPM support is available and working under Windows is run the Command Prompt tpm.msc.. This will show a TPM dialog. That shows whether you have TPM support and what version either 1.2 or 2.0.. You can also interact with the TPM by clearing or preparing it, but that’s not something you need to do or should do unless asked., Let’s just face it.
Man Messing with your TPM can permanently break BitLocker volumes and it might even deactivate Windows in some rare cases, which means guess what You’ll be reinstalling Windows, 10 anyways and losing all your information. Okay. So so far, that’s a lot of requirements. Right, I mean come on. It’S not just a simple thing, but guess what There’s even more hurdles to overcome so put on your running legs and, let’s continue.. So now. Let’S talk about UEFI and Secure Boot.. Microsoft has listed Universe, Extensible, Firmware Interface, UEFI support and Secure Boot capability as hard requirements for Windows 11., But just like with the CPU requirements, it’s unknown. How actual this really is.? The requirement for UEFI is most likely to be just what it says on the label, which would mean no more legacy. Bios installs for anyone., But at this point Secure Boot may be a bit of an overstatement, as capability may just be a word that is being overused., But honestly, until more users are trying to install it. We simply cannot say that as the fact that this time. Now, the good news is, if you own a prebuilt OEM PC, these requirements will probably have no effect on you as any system with both CPU and TPM support. Modern enough to run Windows 11 will have UEFI firmware and it’s current Windows, 10 installation will be running on it. Owners of do-it-yourself systems, however, may run into a very annoying problem., As most enthusiast boards allow, either booting from either BIOS or UEFI., And if you installed Windows under BIOS, you won’t be able to simply convert it to UEFI..
Now, with enough effort and technical ability, it’s possible to Frankenstein a BIOS installation of Windows and the new life under UEFI., But it’s simply not going to be worth it for most Windows users. Who will still need to do a complete, clean re-install., And this problem becomes even more significant for those running virtual machines., Several virtualization platforms, including Linux KVM default to BIOS, rather than UEFI boot for guests.? It’S simpler. It generally boots quicker and it’s been around for way. Longer., The motto why fix something? That’S not broken actually comes to mind..
If your daily driver Windows, 10 VM, is booting from BIOS you’ll be stuck with the same, can’t get there from here issues that PC builders who have selected a BIOS boot had.. Personally, I think Windows 11 looks great. All of the new features, the rounded edges the center menu. All of that stuff to me is very appealing.. The only problem is is that to get Windows 11 on your machine, there are just so many things that you have to have that. It’S not just a simple thing to do..
You’Re gon na have to make sure that you have all of those requirements enabled for it to run properly on your system.. Now, like I said earlier in the video some of the hardware requirements you may get away with, not having, especially when it comes to like older CPU’s, there may be some workarounds, but right now it’s really like. I said too early to know how everything is going to pan out., But if you’re a fan of Windows, you’re really looking forward to update and honestly a lot of us are always looking for something new right.
Then chances are that you’re gon na take the chance and install it, but please just make sure that you fall along the lines that I talked about in this article so that you don’t get stuck wasting your time or completely blowing out your system and end up. Re-Installing Windows, 10 anyways and just wasting an extraordinary amount of your time.. Also, like I said earlier, I will have links down to the Ars Technica, the original article that I got this idea from, as well as the links to all the different hardware requirements and the CPU requirements that are needed for Windows 11.. So I’m Elric, you guys who’ve, been watching Tech of Tomorrow, you’re an awesome audience So peace out., If you don’t – have a dollar and you’d still like to support the site. I have a link down below where you can try Amazon, Prime for free, and there are some really cool movies that are coming out on August, 2nd that you’re really gon na wan na check out.. So right now it’s a perfect time to install and try it..
Also for a single dollar you can support me on Patreon and, like I said, all of those Windows Keys are guaranteed to work or you have my personal money back guarantee.. So we’ll see you guys back here for more tech on Tech of Tomorrow., See y’all Bye-bye ( gentle upbeat, music, ), .
