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

Hi.

Thank you fir your input.

But to be honest, it does not change my perspective at all.

BTW, I think your wife's laptop needs a new HDD, preferably an SSD.

I disagree whit your statement that older hardware can not run W10.

The machine I'm typing this reply on is a HP Elitebook 8570P it was made for W7 if I remember correctly, it was at least released on 27 October 2012 , It took W10  like a champ, and has been running W10 for years and years now. Its currently running W11, because it actually did have TPM and Secure boot. it runs just like w10, other then the visual change, the performance is exactly the same. or at least not noticeably different.

But I have more laptops, and desktops.

My Acer Aspire E1-572p released 2013-08-26 has secure boot, but does not have TPM, so of course that would not take W11, it to has been running W10 for years, whit no issue at all, except the HDD dying, and needing to change to legacy boot to accept W10 on the new SSD I bought for it :)

I have a few other laptops to, but i have not had the time to check them yet, they are all acers, so I don't think they will meet the requirements

However, my workstation that i use for my 3d printers, and for ripping dvd/blue ray to add to my plex server, is a n HP Z400, being x58 and releaced Q3 2009, it does not support UEFI and secure boot. it is supposed to have TPM though, but it to has been running W10 for years whit no issue.

Now my plex server is also a HP z400 but that is running unraid.

My gaming PC is an i7 3770 from April 2012, so of course it has neither secure boot, nor TPM. It has as all my other systems been running W10 for years, whit no issue at all. but wont take W11 due to some arbitrary security that I personally don't need.

I can not justify replacing / upgrading 4-5 computers that work perfectly fine, just because of an (in my opinion) pointless feature, that I will not see any advantage from.

Yes I get it, the internet is a dangerous place for many people, and yes I do approve that MS is working to improve security. But I disapprove in them making their security measures mandatory.

Point is, this requirement will make a lot of e-vaste, Unless they decide to support W10 for longer. Most people wont want to play around whit Linux to prolong the life of their hard ware, and it will get thrown out.

And I for one think that is both stupid, and sad, when there is so much more use in most old hardware, old being 10 + years old. especially if all you do is surf the web, or do word processing and similar.

So I have a Core i7-7XX generation laptop with 64GB and 2TB NVMe with NVIDIA GPU. TPM 2.0 secure boot, UEFI stack etc...

apparently Microsoft have made a decision that they don't need customers with 7th generation Core CPUs , and can definitely live without them . It is of course their business decision - on my part - after 20+ years it will be an easy decision for me to move to other platform - Linux or OS X - here i come ...Good luck to the rest of you .!

my computer fully complies with windows 11

My processor is listed as being able to install WIndows 11 but Windows UPdate says I cannot install - I ran the tool and it lists my processor as the issue, it's a complete contradiction as one Microsoft site says my processor is fine, yet I apparently cannot install Windows 11 .......

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7920HQ CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.10 GHz

I don't understand why a 3 years old CPU is not include in the compatibility list...

Please add all CPU that has 1GHz + 2 Cores like indicated in your minimum requirement.

Thank you
