Thanks to Windows 11, Scalpers Buy Out Add-on TPM 2.0 Modules

I switched to Linux Mint latest beta about an hour ago... loving every damn second of it. Seriously no need for Windows anymore, unless you only care about AAA latest games.

I just switched to Linux Mint (latest beta release) I AM FREAKING IN LOVE!!! TAKE CARE WINDOWS 10 and 11 LMAO

So first impressions so far today... it's smooth!!! So smooth! It's very user friendly... I have already installed Steam with two clicks, updated all my drivers from the welcome window that pops up on first install, installed proprietary Nvidia driver, got gsync working. Steam has an awesome...

Um some of us work on our machines and need windows?

So the last part about only if you care about AAA latest games not 100% accurate.

People are dumb fucks, by the time of launch, TPM 1.2 will work for Windows 11, allowing anyone from Haswell up to run Windows 11.

Scalpers scalped themselves.

Yup, pretty much this. Linux is good, but can't do everything Windows can.

Instead of rambling on about Linux(off-topic) let us all instead give microsoft the shaft by breaking/cracking/circumventing all of their bullshit limitations and intrusions.
To be clear, I'm NOT promoting piracy. Go buy a damn CDKey. Then rip Windows 11 a few new ones and teach microsoft who's boss!(that would be us, the users)
HACK microsoft's PLANET!!

(While I'm being funny, I'm also totally serious. Hack, crack and rip all the microsoft stuffs. As long as you own it, you have the right to modify it. Legally protected right.)

will be going to Linux anyway now, so scalpers and M$ can eat it. damn, it feels good to be free once and for all. Linux to the moon!

I'll stay on windows 10 for at least 1.5yrs after win 11 is released. I'll wait until they iron out all the defects of windows 11. I wish I can still go back to win 7.

It still doesn't work. I just tried the compatibility tool on my 8700k and with both PTT and dTPM enabled in BIOS neither option passed. So don't be too thankful.

All I need was to flip that setting in my Gigabyte motherboard's UEFI and that was I needed to do to make that tool say that my system is supported.

Did you disable CSM (and are you using a GPT partition)? I believe Windows 11 needs a pure UEFI environment. My 2600x passes the test alright after enabling fTPM in the bios.

Windows 11 seems like Microsoft is going full Windows S Mode with the standard affair of them making a 1 or 2 changes they know people will actually want that should've and could've probably been done a decade or two ago if they weren't so busy doing questionable stuff instead like forcing CandyCrush, OneDrive, Edge, and Bing malware on systems.

I had to sign up for a Microsoft account on a Windows S Mode laptop just to get out of Windows S Mode to install Mozilla Firefox awhile back on a laptop and it was infuriating quite frankly it involved a bunch of hassle and was completely unnecessary and frankly intrusive as hell and should be made illegal to force that on customers. It's probably less involved actually to install Linux start to finish than removing Windows S Mode in some instances. It would depend a bit on the Linux variant and how hands off the installation process, but it goes to show you how bad Windows S Mode is.

All in order for Microsoft to force you into only using it's Windows store approved APPS. I don't think even something like Foobar music player works in Windows S Mode. I mean Mozilla Firefox doesn't so I can't imagine what programs work on Windows S Mode that aren't Microsoft products, but I imagine their own programs just work seamlessly which is rather anti competitive behavior I'd argue. It's of course under the guise of security. Nothing makes me feel more secure about my personal data than being forced to give it away to Microsoft to uninstall it's Window S Mode malware/ransomware.

It's literally two steps to change from Windows S. That OS was never intended to be a general purpose consumer OS for powerful PC's. It's a purposefully locked down, secure, efficient OS for lower end laptops (aka chromebooks) in large enterprises, schools. Microsoft can't guarantee the security or performance for users who are downloading crapware and files from all over the net.

Why does that look like something someone would use to smoke their way to death?

They need as much data as they can ~~sell~~ get.

If we're gonna go with that, Windows 10 already does it, and they also had those updates for Windows 7 with telemetry included.

lexluthermiester said:
Wait, on chip? Are they doing that now? Last time I checked TPM was a motherboard bound thing...

Apparently there's a TPM implementation in AMD's Platform Security Processor (PSP), and Intel also has their own implementation of the same idea.

Doesn't matter, as you apparently need an 8th gen Intel CPU at the very minimum as well...

The really amusing part here is that a Celeron (read Atom) N4000 is supported...

This specification details the Intel processors that can be used with Windows 11 customer systems that include Windows products, including custom images.

It would seem no non Zen architecture AMD CPUs are supported.

So an i9 7900X with a soldered lid is not powerful enough to run windows 11? Ha Ha Ha.

Guess I'll just have to forgo the upgrade.

Looks like scalping will be a big problem for a while...

I sent it off to be de-lidded. So it has solder or maybe liquid metal.

It runs really cool.

It seems Microsoft doesn't want people to "upgrade" to Windows 10, this TPM requirement is just stupid, most people have no idea what a bios is let alone use it.

Most people buy prebuilts, laptops, surface's so this thing isnt exactly a super big problem for them.
