    So what happens if your PC cannot run Windows 11, and Windows 10 will die (i.e. does not get MS support) in 2025?
    Do you throw your PC in the bin?

    Hopefully after running the health check app, I won't be shuffled over to the preview group.

    I don't know; I ran the check yesterday after applying fTPM and got the all clear in the app, but then got this e-mail today. Not sure how they decide whether your PC is compatible .

    I had the TPM also, and four other issues the health check didn't reveal specifically.

    Use the 3rd party check for a line by line finding.  https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11

    Then go back to this forum and work the problem. Great source of support here.  

    Thank you all here for advice saved me hours of troubleshooting .

    I have all the exact things enabled plus an i7 -7700 processor so yes, it is frustrating.

    It is a great idea.  

    I had to employ it during Creators update when builds were failing to update , causing clean installs over and over.  Having a 'clone' to use and allow you to go back if  you can't continue with Win 11 sounds like a good fall back idea.  Time will tell...

    I'd wait on an updated version of the PC Health Tool, as one of the engineers said yesterday that it had teething problems and would get updated even possibly today at some point.

    Hopefully, they will also add a line by line breakdown of what works and what doesn't, so we can see where we stand.

    CPUs Intel PTT should cover you from a TPM2.0 point of view ;)  

    yes the intel PTT workaround fixed it.  Looking forward to the updated line by line PC health tool.   Guess were all using this 3rd party tool while we wait.   The secure boot enabled in the bios but says unsupported in msinfo32,  so gonna flash bios.  Using m2 NVMe , no other drives. Secure boot require a SATA SD drive?
