It's been fixed for days, i've been told it's now on main release updates.
AMD's fix is also out

AMD Ryzen™ Chipset Driver Release Notes (3.10.08.506) | AMD

AMD is on point with clear documentation on this one
View attachment 221793

Also important with the W10/11 beta and release preview channels: You can hit an "opt out next update" button that does what it says, getting you fixes you need *now* without any long term risks.

thank you for the info i updated both os and chipset driver and my cinebench 20 scores went from 8000 and something to 9000 and something don't remember exact scores

Something i find pretty stupid is that you can install windows on your Pc then remove the SSD go to your friend house install your SSD into his Pc and use your OS with Microsoft activated
If that how Microsoft works then good for them.

I have a portable SSD i use here for that sort of thing, usually with laptop diagnosis
The activation periodically re-checks (30 days? 180? no idea) and can de-activate at times

Put it back into a system with a valid registered key, and its back

I dont know if others have noticed, but the multi 'window' thing lets you do 4 windows at a time now per screen, not two
So click and drag the title bar of a window to the top corner and bam: you get to pick 3 others to fill the screen

Having 8 windows at a time is funsies- and a huge productivity boost on 1440p and 4k screens

Went ahead and bought a key this morning not sure what I'm gonna test it on yet though.

Mussels · Oct 25, 2021

Just... use an old, existing key?

Those are basically stolen keys from stickers on cases

No no they're stolen oem stickers with unscratched codes got the key, OEM sticker is in the post.

And my old keys are not accessible ATM in a drawer 9000km away

Mussels · Oct 25, 2021

I feel like theres a market for going through photos on google and doing a ZOOM. ENHANCE. and stealing old windows 7 keys from all the dells in every office pic

ThaiTaffy · Oct 25, 2021

@Mussels I'm thinking that's keys are more likely Lenovo :roll:

bigger market share here.

You might need to update the bios on that board for the new CPU, but yes that CPU will run Windows 11 perfectly.

Jose Jeswin · Oct 25, 2021

i have already updated the bios..amd processor support list for win 11 shows just an entry for '3500 Processor'.....does it mean the ryzen 5 3500?...mine is an OEM processor...its the cause for my confusion... :confused:

How is M$ gonna force you using an "online M$ account" with a W11 Home version clean install without internet connection?

Ruru · Oct 25, 2021

Interesting, installed a fresh 11 on my laptop (Thinkpad E540, 4th gen Intel) without any hiccups and without any tinkering of the install media or anything. It has TPM (dunno about the version) so I guess it's somewhat supported.

You're not supposed to use it without Internet /s

The setup program just doesn't progress any further until you connect to the Internet. I tested that during a clean install of W11 home edition on my mum's laptop.

If it has TPM why shouldn't it be supported?

I guess, I don't have a clue what's the TPM version of my laptop. Just put the "security chip" on in its BIOS.
