    If the compatibility requirements here are met then your pc can run Windows 11.

    There is an issue with the app and Microsoft has said that they are going to fix it.

    No, I know about these requirements. I was just wondering why my processor is not listed in the Windows 11 Supported AMD Processors article even though it meets the requirements.

    I guess my PC isn't capable of Windows 11 since it doesn't have TPM.

    I ran the TPM.MSC and says TPM 1.2 or later cannot be found.

    I checked in the BIOS and don't see any settings (that I can find) for TPM or Secure Boot like others in here have found.

    The only setting I found was "PCI ROM Priority" which has 2 options: Legacy ROM and EFI Compatible ROM. I was set to Legacy ROM, so I changed it to EFI Compatible and rebooted, but the system wouldn't POST and couldn't get back into the BIOS without pressing the Clear CMOS button on the back on the system.

    My system specs are:

    ASRock (Intel Z68 chipset)Fatal1ty Z68 Pro

    CPU: Intel i7-3770K (OC to 4.4GHz)

    Memory: 16GB RAM (8GBx2)

    Video: Nvidia GTX 980ti

    SSD: 2TB (1.27TB Free)

    Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, that CPU won't support Intel PTT :(

    Intel PTT is basically the firmware alternative to the hardware-based TPM. Intel PTT works on pretty much every processor/chipset since 4th Gen Core (Haswell) processors were introduced and it even supports BitLocker. This is because Intel PTT supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) 2.0.

    I have a intel core i7-4790 with 16 GB ram, 750 SSD, Geforce GTX1060. It's working perfectly with Windows 10, max 30 % cpu load. But it doesn't have tpm support. Please enable my computer, which has more than adequate hardware, to run Windows 11. It's faster than most modern laptops.

    Thanks.
