Do you believe Microsoft is going to rebrand Windows 10 to something else?

Poll closed May 30, 2021.
  1. Yes, "Windows 10" is already dated and getting long in the tooth.

    34.5%
  2. No chance, they are going to cling to the "Windows 10" brand for as long as they can.

    39.1%
  3. Meh... Don't care.

    I have an MSI Prestige X570 board, 5800X and an RTX 3080 Ti GPU, so my PC is quite new I suppose ;)
    Desktop boards have a TPM header. Not the chip itself. You will have to buy it separately.
    Anyways, AMD processors have an fTPM option in the BIOS. Enabled that and voila! The PC is now compatible.

    Of course, there will be quite a few workarounds, but they may not be always as apparent.

    What's irritating to me is I have a ASUS X79 Deluxe Motherboard, which has the 20-1 pin adapter option for TPM... but no one in the world that I can find sells that anymore... (motherboard is from 2014) and up until now I am sure these werent really popular to buy...

    I have an 4ghz 8 core 16 threaded Ivybridge-E CPU (Xeon E5-1680 v2) on it... BEYOND more than capable to run any os out there with flying colors... what a joke...

    Misleading at best. We'll hit a brick wall later this year unless this community comes up with a TPM 2.0 workaround or MS changes their mind (for Insiders):

    "Once Windows 11 is generally available, these PCs will be opted out of flighting and will not be able to receive future Windows 11 Insider Preview builds. These PCs must clean install back to Windows 10 with the media (ISOs) that we provide and can then join the Release Preview Channel to preview Windows 10 updates."

    I dont think TPM 2.0 will be required.
    It would prevent hundres of millions or even billions of devices from being able to use Windows 11.

    just like osx on older macbooks many things can be bypassed by software/bios/scripts :) over time users decide if hardware is good enough to run or change to another OS as we have many choices; anyone in IT since 70's 80's no how many things are possible just like the seasoned here on MDL so tpm or any other requirements should never scare off anyone as there are many skilled here on this forum and elsewhere :)

    Just checked all my PC's, all of them have TPM 2.0.

    My main desktop, was just disabled at UEFI (ASUS when releases a new uefi update, disables TPM, silly them)...

    Just apply the install.wim to your C: drive problem solved.
