Windows 11 ISO Leaks to the Web, New Start Screen, Mac-like Centered Dock, Rounded Edges
Alleged screenshots of Microsoft's upcoming operating system, the Windows 11, were leaked to the web ahead of its June 24 unveiling. The screenshots reveal a user interface that has several tie-ins with the current Windows 10, although enough is there to set it apart. For starters, the Start "menu" (if you can call it that), looks less like a menu, and more like a pop-out window with icons and actions, much like the macOS Finder. Icons pinned to the taskbar or open, are centered. The clock and system tray is still where it should be.
Windows Explorer features a familiar ribbon-type user interface, although there are changes to the icons. It's laid out exactly like in Windows 10. A thing to notice here is the window theme itself, which is single-tone, and with rounded edges. The "News and Interests" menu that surfaced in the recent Windows 10 update is more full-featured. User interface is only a fraction of what makes up a Windows major version, and Windows 11 is said to feature major under-the-hood changes, such as a new scheduler that's better suited for the upcoming hybrid x86 core processors from Intel and AMD.

I'm pretty sure my old acer 775 socket board doesn't have any tpm bios setting and likely no socket either and even if it did finding a tpm chip for it would be pretty silly venture lol
Bitlocker is another feature I have zero interest in using or activating accidentally.

Many modern boards support both, with an internal firmware option and an external module
They only have two BIOS options Firmware, or external - and they default to external, disabling the firmware support.
I've checked all my AM4 boards here, and ALL of them behave this way by default, despite being from asus, giga, aorus, and MSI.
Win 11 can't identify that it's been switched to that 'external' setting and just says 'nah get fucked, no W11 for you' and the wording we've been using is from the windows 11 messages about unsupported, blahblah. I'm curious why my Ryzen 1000 is supposedly unsupported, when the same B450 board i have could run ryzen 1k 2k and 3k chips, with most of them on the official list
SME/ SEV?
built in RGB control software, that devs implement a plugin and the OS can control and sync all the lighting
This page has some info.

Another interesting problem was with some Windows 8.1 tablets that had received Windows 10 update. If you would've put them on sleep while their battery was running out, You couldn't turn it back on until reinstalling the OS! Even with hybrid sleep being enable.
Anyway let's just hope for a bug free OS for all:peace:
