Preparing for Insider Preview Builds of Windows 11 - ***UPDATED 6/28***

It is probably the TPM, because Macs have no motherboard TPM.

Terrific Job !

Thanks for the tips to update /fix.  

PC builders will likely have a 'list' of  methods depending on Motherboards installed.

Will be good to know what MB are 'capable ' vs 'not capable'  .

The test does not 'discover ' if yo have a TPM socket on you MB or capability.  So, more homework for builders.

The 'processor ' issue is troubling due to  some processors having more cores and 'muscle' than the lowest common denominator here. Would like Intel to step up and explain.  A lot of money for an Intel processor to suddenly become incompatible.  How much were those  6800  / 8 core chips again ?

It is a great idea.  

I had to employ it during Creators update when builds were failing to update , causing clean installs over and over.  Having a 'clone' to use and allow you to go back if  you can't continue with Win 11 sounds like a good fall back idea.  Time will tell...

Thanks for the PTT suggestion.  Ran a search for "Intel PTT" and a page opened up explaining TPM and even displayed a MB like mine from ASUS !

Thanks again !

Microsoft has been HACKED by Microsoft China, silently dropping support of MANY processors (not jsut for the Chinese market and Win11 only) but ALL existing supported version of Windows 7/8/8.1/10.

This is a clear attempt to force all people to buy new hardware. And it is a severe breach of contract, if support by contract is dropped without notification.

Microsoft MUST restore the hardware compatiblity lists for ALL existing version of windows since Windows 7: this means restoring the list of processors, that has been silently tweaked to keep only models designed less than 4 years ago (starting to Gen8 for Intel).

Windows 10 insiders (even in the Dev channel) have tested almost all features of Windows 11 as part of "Windows Next" (which we were told was just a code name for a branch. We've tested all the upgrade paths, feature packs, drivers, NTFS features, reported many things.

Now our suppor will stop in less than 6 months (no more Dev Insider version), and we can NOT restore any Win10 commercial version (many  successfully tested features will be missing, including critical ones like those related to Storage Spaces, reliability, accessibility, security).

Not only Microsoft does not thnaks us, it is lying in its compatibility program (made by Microsoft China).

Please Microsoft, BAN Microsoft China from working on anything else than versions licenced to China. Visibly this is a malicious coordinated attack by the Chinese government, that just wants to sell new hardware made in China (notably processors, motherboards, RAM modules, SSD's, graphic cards...).

And Win11 (tested in alpha internally by MS China) has NEVER been properly tested for deployment to the rest of the world.

STOP Windows 11 IMMEDIATELY : it is DEFINTELY NOT READY. Restore support for all valid licenced versions of Windows 7/8/8.1/10/Server... And restore our support for the rest ofg the world.

Stop trusting your Chinese subsidiary, BAN IT: it has hacked your whole company for every one in the rest of the world. This is a severe brech of contract.

And you've lied to every since years with this unexpected launch with INACCEPTABLE conditions, breaking ALL existing contracts.

If you don't urgently press the BRAKE pedal (and stop this Windows 11 FAKE), you'll have lot of judiciary suites from all around the world, and billions to pay (or the justice will force your company to be splitted).

We NO LONGER WANT ANYTHING from MICROSOFT CHINA. You'll need to redesign "Windows 10 Next", and continue where it was running. Windows 11 may only target the market of the PR China (with all its restrictions), it's definitely NOT for the rest of the world (that may eventually become Windows 12 later, but you'll need at least one more year and you MUST then continue the Windows 10 Insider program exactly as it was and as you promissed to everyone!).

Your announce of Windows 11 may only be valid for China (running versions licenced for China): it should be clearly named "Windows 11 CN" and only permitted for use in China.

You MUST restore your site to what it was one week ago, and restore the compatiblity programs as they were for all supported versions!
