    I think you should reconsider TPM 2.0 as a requirement as many PCs (even new ones) do not have TPM enabled by default or it gets disabled via BIOS updates or battery removals (in laptops). Major issue for novice PC users as they would have no idea how to enable the feature. UEFI and secure boot, Fine, TPM? I can just see it causing a headache for users and tech support.

    After reading blog I can see that Dev channel will able to install windows 11 without even meeting requirements. So I am moving to Dev channel.

    Keep reading. There's a GIGANTIC caveat to that considering the general availability will be later this year...at which point you'll be screwed.

    My PC is running i7-9700k, 32GB RAM, 1tb SSD of which 720GB is free and 1080 GTX, which is Direct X 12 compatible, I cannot spot anything in the system requirements that say why my PC shouldn't support Windows 11.

    Helppppppppppp please.
