    I wonder if Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) will be sufficient for Windows 11. Wanted to purchase a new motherboard, but having troubles finding one with TPM

    I was puzzeled that myPC did not meet the requirements.

    (AMD 1700X, MSI Mortar B450, RTX 2060, 16 GB, plenty ssd space and TPM enabled )

    Turns out that some CPU's are not supported.

    Here's a link to supported AMD cpu's. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors

    Some sources says that Windows 11 might support more cpu's later...

    I will keep on trying. Best of luck to everyone! :-)

    Windows 11's taskbar rightmost click to show the desktop button is now a thin line, the original mouse can move to the bottom right corner anywhere click to return to the desktop, now you need to look carefully for that thin line.

    Did you try changing the position of the laptop ? Sometimes there can be a block to a vent that keeps it cool. Do not recommend putting some laptops on soft material that might prevent vents from allowing air into the devices.

    You may want to click on the 'other gear' (the one with the check mark) or press the Windows key and type Windows Tools this will open a panel that will allow you to get to the 'Control Panel' (more familiar) where you an get to Power Options.
