For users who are receiving the following message in your Windows Insider Settings:

    if you want help with a problem in windows 11, please start your own thread, with details of the problem

    if you have found an issue or something not working as intended in windows 11, please use the feedback hub (winkey+F) to bring it to the attention of the development team, they will then get the diagnostic data as well.

    for the outlandish conspiracy theories, please start your own thread providing evidence and citing sources.

    Windows 11, is being tested by insiders, there may be bugs and issues that may result in instability or loss of data. Regular backups are essential

    To leave the Dev channel at any time you will need to clean install the released version of Windows.

    to test windows 11 on unsupported hardware the device needs to have been in the dev channel prior to 24th June. you cannot now join the Dev channel on unsupported hardware.

    when windows 11 is launched, devices that do not meet the minimum requirements for windows 11 will need to clean install the release version of windows 10.

    To join the Dev channel now the device must meet the currently published minimum specs.

    My system displays a message saying my PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, which doesn't make sense since I have an RTX 3060 and the latest 10th generation Intel.

    Have you tried enabling TPM or IPTT (in Intel devices) in the BIOS settings? Or maybe, enabling Secure Boot should help I think

    Thank you for your help!
    For some reason my bios was reset and that caused the T.M.P, module to shut off. After rebooting I am now able to see all the options : D

    I have already written it in another post. Download a program to verify the compatibility of your PC. Link: https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/ If the only thing that does not suit there is CPU compatibility - Not currently listed as Compatible. So feel free to install. It's just that the CPU is not on the list of supported ones. I have the same message, the program is installed and so far I have not noticed any problems with the operation of the computer.
