How can it be incompatible if it has a tpm module? That’s about the only “special” thing windows 11 needs.Those can be bypassed?
edit: My 6700K is also "incompatible" but with a TPM module it installs and works perfectly fine on that system.

I raised an eyebrow at this and checked, and yeah, the jump is almost the same. In fact, Simplified Chinese makes up the majority of used language in the Hardware Survey, suggesting that a significant amount of this data applies to the Chinese market which year over year expands. It's probably no coincidence that Chinese games are gaining more recognition with the release of Black Myth: Wukong. My guess is that there's like 5 bajillion Intel Core i5-12400F + Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 prebuilts or somesuch flooding the charts there. Would also explain the CPU base clocks settling right in between 2.3 and 2.69 GHz.Again I cannot stress enough that this data is not high enough quality to be a news article. Look at the increase in Chinese users. Every single time there is a significant change in CPU, GPU, OS, etc. there is an equivalent change in the language for Simplified Chinese. This is not a coincidence but simply a big data dump out of China with no useful analytics to be gained from that data. If I were to guess, a bunch of new game data farms are accessing Steam with new generic system builds using Windows, Intel and Nvidia.
Those little spikes in the GPU and CPU graphs are each accompanied by a spike in Simplified Chinese of the exact same percentage.

I have several random issues with W11, but one of the weirdest is the delay in generating UI elements. Sometimes it's not noticeable, other times it's subtle, sometimes it's substantial. For example, one time I opened calculator and the window popped up, but it took a solid 3-4 seconds for the actual calculator elements to appear. I've had the PC wake to show my working desktop for a second before showing the lock screen, I've had the window buttons appear as boxes before. This isn't some custom machine, it's a work PC, presumably on more stable code branches. It just always feels like they cobbled stuff together and hit "publish."Using Windows 11 now on my home built gaming/work PC and work laptop. It's not perfect but easily the best OS Microsoft has ever made. For a few reasons I noticed: faster Ryzen gaming performace now, file explorer has tabs (finally!), supports all compression formats by default now, much nicer UI, much nicer animations on my 165Hz VRR, terminal is a solid CLI now. WSL2 works well enough too for a built-in Linux distro. Very fast and mostly modern looking OS overall.
Here the things I did for anyone doing a clean install of Win11:
Done, great overall OS with that. I dualboot Linux too btw but that's another convo.
- Right click on taskbar, settings, hide/disable the 4 junk items at the top
- Install all Windows updates, reboot
- Install chipset drivers, reboot
- Install GPU drivers, reboot
- If you game, disable memory integrity as per: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...ndows-11-a255f612-2949-4373-a566-ff6f3f474613
- Regedit, add key: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer DisableSearchBoxSuggestions 1
Yes, and I have successfully bypassed them on my Ivy Bridge E system. The OS works just fine, which is what makes the artificial caps on system requirements so absurd. I can somewhat understand MS's desire to stop supporting old hardware, but there are lots of people who can't or won't work the bypasses into an installer. In 5 years, there will still be a lot of W10 users out there because of this. Most people I know actually hate the constant updates to their devices, so they'll probably be happier when MS stops tinkering with W10, but we'll just have to see how insecure things get once MS pulls the plug.Those can be bypassed?

Hence what I said. By availability I meant "getting a key." Anyone can run the trial iso.It is. getting a copy is possible, but activating it is the difficulty. It's not as easy as for retail, just buying a key. I'd love to try it, but need to make sure it's kinda "legal"
