What does the TPM do even with Windows? I can enable and disable it, and Windows will report whether it's on or not, but does Windows do anything passively with it to make it worthwhile to keep enabled? Or is it something you have to actively configure programs to use?
Does DISM itself does these checks? If not, I guess that can be our option to bypass the checks and manually install the install.wim files for future versions .
Well you're in luck friend... @Enthousiast has been working out a tool to automate an installer for the leak for just that purpose. Follow the instructions on the post. https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...nel-co_release-leak.83658/page-4#post-1666239
The only practical usage I've seen for the TPM is that it will automatically authenticate Bitlocker to allow for password-less startup of an encrypted boot drive. This makes the entire encryption process fully transparent to the operation of your PC. You'll still have to enter your windows credentials to login to the computer after bootup. I've had to enable a Group Policy setting to allow the use of a startup password on some older machines I've deployed Bitlocker with that were lacking a TPM. The setting is here: gpedit.msc > Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives “Require additional authentication at startup” > Enabled
whether Win11 will be relaesed for all or not,, My E5200,2gb ram pc working fine with this leak one,,will gonna keep it for long
For some reason, the WhyNotWIn11 app also fails the disk partitioning test (didn't detect GPT partition) in my laptop Spoiler
Well your system wouldn't even be working if it didn't have both an efi partition and a msr partition. It likely is just bad at detecting them correctly because they are partitioned in a way it didn't expect.
those of you who have at least a 5 year or newer system look in your motherboard manual https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...odename-sun-valley.83555/page-61#post-1668229
PSA: Microsoft has started downright locking unsupported computers out of the beta and dev insider channels. I've seen tree screenshots of other people with older PCs (Legacy BIOS, much older CPUs...) The Dev and Beta channel options are now gone from the Insider settings page. With only "Release Preview" available. Edit: This has now been confirmed to me by a Reddit user.
For Ryzen owners, look for AMD fTPM Configuration. If it's set to discrete and you don't have a discrete TPM, no TPM will be presented to Windows and you'll get the unsupported error during 21996 setup. If it's set to enabled, it will enable a TPM from the CPU. That setting is seemingly named the same across various vendors and chipsets. For Intel, this is handled by the Management Engine (IME), presumably with newer chipsets (Skylake+?) having TPM 2.0 support. If you've used me_cleaner, you'll likely not be able to use that firmware TPM.
Feels like Vista days happening all over again. Don't get me wrong, I like Windows 11, in fact I'm using it right now... and very happy my custom built desktop is compatible and ready for the final release in october... But if Microsoft keeps these restrictive system requirements... Man... it will probably fail hard... very hard.
