    it only just after 3am in Redmond.

    If it is going to be some time today, you have 6 hours before the working day starts, and it may not be until the end of the day.

    You have to turn tpm on in the bios then then run the windows 11 compatability then you should be able to select the insiders preview for windows 11

    How many times are you going to repeat this. For those without TPM this is just another brick in the  wall between Microsoft and its customers.

    Those of you stating that your PC doesn't meet the requirements but the hardware does, check if Secure Boot and TPM2.0 are enabled and check if the hard disk has GPT as its partition table

    I came across some interesting material.

    Perhaps this will not reduce contentment. but keep in mind that you do all the actions at your own risk!

    How to Install Windows 11 without Secure Boot and TPM 2.0

    Microsoft has increased the hardware requirements for Windows 11. If you want to reinstall Windows 11, TPM 2.0 and SecureBoot are now one of the hardware requirements.

    Windows 11 can also be installed without these requirements and we will show you how to do it.

    This guide is suitable for Windows 11 21H2 and higher.

    Before installing Windows 11, create a reg file, which you then copy to a USB drive.

    Right-click on the Desktop –> Create - > Text Document.

    Copy this content to a file:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]

    "BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001

    "BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

    Save and rename the new text file .txt to Win11 Bypass. reg or select "Save as" Win11 Bypass. reg (All files).

    Now the icon will change, and the file can be copied to a USB drive.

    Installing Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

    1

    Insert the flash drive with the Win11 Bypass.reg file and start downloading the OS.

    2

    Click "Install Now".

    3

    Enter the key or click "I don't have a product key".

    4

    If there is no key in the BIOS, then the version of Windows 11 that corresponds to your key should now be selected.

    5

    If you click "Next", you may see a message saying that Windows 11 cannot be installed on this device. "Windows 11 cannot be started on this PC.

    " 6

    Now press the key combination Shift + F10, and the Command Prompt opens. Enter Notepad or Notepad.exe and press Enter.

    7

    Now in Notepad, select "File" –> "Open"in the menu.

    8

    In the window that opens, switch to " All Files "in the" File Type " menu and find your USB drive.

    9

    After finding the Win11 Bypass.reg file, right-click and click "Merge".

    10

    Confirm your choice.

    11

    The Notepad window, as well as the Command Line, can now be closed. In the selection of the Windows 11 version, click the "Next" button again.

    12

    Now the installation is proceeding as usual.

    Based on this material, it proves that it is possible that Microsoft intends to tighten the requirements for installing windows 11.

    I haven't checked whether it works or not, but I think it will work.

    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
