This is what the Microsoft PC health check should be like. Still a bit baffled about dropping generation 1 Threadripper support.
Its just the out of the box support that is strict, I have it running on a Core2 Duo using a .WIM swap.
I have some questions which may not be answerable given the current situation: Using the leaked version, are we able to download future Dev channel updates If it isn't possible with Microsoft Update in that leaked version, is it possible to do an in-place upgrade This computer doesn't support Secure-Boot, is preferably using BIOS, even if it can be changed to UEFI, and has TPM 1.2, once installed using the workarounds, will I be able to update it at all? Thanks.
Don't install this on a system you need. Its a black box at this point and belongs on dedicated test boxes/VMs.
But about that third point, when using the Dev version that will release next week, how reliable the updates will be if we used workarounds to install the iso beforehand. I'm not sure if we can know this already.
I'm wondering the same, i have this leaked build installed in dual boot next to my regular W10. I enetered Dev channel on that W11 build, all went well, hope to get updated next week.
Let the guinea pigs figure it out. Its not like the gap between 10 and 11 is so vast that you are missing out on something amazing. For the PCs I support I am not putting 11 on anything until 2022.
To be fair I don't think the leaked version will get future Dev versions, but the most important question is to know whether we can update from an official Dev iso to future versions using Windows Update if we used the workarounds.
Does your PC meet the requirements or it didn't and you're still able to join the Dev channle. Mine doesn't and I can only join the Release preview - as expected
I said this in the other thread but repeating here; TPM "required" is likely to be purely due to the existence of features like Bitlocker or Hello. Non essential things. Not the base OS.
A lot of people are focusing on the TPM requirement, but I'm more concerned about the processor requirement. Astonishing that Core 6th and 7th gen are also excluded. Mine is a 7th gen 2.8Ghz CPU - way above the 1GHz specified in the specifications. I guess the requirements will need to be hacked.
