    I think you should reconsider TPM 2.0 as a requirement as many PCs (even new ones) do not have TPM enabled by default or it gets disabled via BIOS updates or battery removals (in laptops). Major issue for novice PC users as they would have no idea how to enable the feature. UEFI and secure boot, Fine, TPM? I can just see it causing a headache for users and tech support.

    True that. My Mobo (a low end one, when I built my PC 2 years ago) have support for UEFI Secure Boot. The fact that in my country (Algeria), upgrading my Mobo cost atleast 900$ due to the importation being blocked. This is stupid, TPM is not needed for me because all I do with my PC is play games and browsing.

    Is there download of the to-day's virtual event?

    It was just starting to get interesting, when my connection was 'terminated' and couldn't re-connect.

    PC Health Check is saying I do not meet the minimum requirements, despite meeting them all. I have turned on TPM (which is version 2.0) and Secure Boot as well, so that's not the issue. I'm wondering if this is just a bug or if there are more unlisted requirements, it would be helpful if the error message gave specific info about what's not compatible
