    If your intel processor is not on this list, you're not going to be supported by Windows 11.

    I'm under the impression that MS shares will plummet... if you bought it, you'd better start selling.

    Hello friend. Try to enable SecureBoot (or something like that, depends of the motherboard) on your BIOS. In my MSI Tomahawk I had to enable SecureBoot on Security section. Good luck!

    As I have said to others, go into your BIOS/UEFI and enable TPM, on AMD it's fTPM.

    I was under the impression this was the current definitive list as the Windows 11 page says "1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)" so I took it as non-negotiable to need one on this list.

    Edit: I just realized, what if the health check tool is simply cross-checking people's chips with this list? Maybe that's why so many people are getting this problem.
