    Hi .. my PC is only for working and not for gaming. I've an i5 processor with 16GB RAM and SSD drive, TPM 2 chip but not activated and the requirments say my PC is not ready for Windows 11?

    I think this will not be a good practice to exclude professional customers and consulter and Windows fans since 1995!

    Hopefully you'll change the requirements than it is really not sustainable if windows 11 should only be able to run with new hardware again.

    Please note urgently that sustainability, especially in the current phase, cannot be expected of our environment any more.

    Thx for your understanding.

    Jupp,

    Activate the TPM chip, HDD min free 60-80Mb, if that does not work then, back it up to an external SSD or HDD and reset windows to a bare state and try again. Thats what I did with cheap ASUS, CPU was basic celeron 4Mb ram etc. It then just loaded over a current release win10. I then reloaded the essentials from the backup and it still works perfectly. Roll on Sept when we get the official release.
