So many people have not been able to upgrade their former Windows computers to Windows 11 due to the latter’s TPM 2.0 material needs. (Learn more about the reasons why you need TPM 2.0 for Windows 11, why TPM 2.0 improves PCs and why Microsoft is categorical not to leave older PCs without TPM 2.0 Run Windows 11.)
Some users, however, say that they have been offered upgrades to Windows 11 on older PCs who do not meet TPM 2.0 material requirements, reports Neowin.
It is a bit of a skyscraper because Microsoft has not officially announced anything on the reduction of system requirements for Windows 11, but this is not the first time that the company has offered Windows 11 upgrades on incompatible computers that do not meet the requirements.
It is very likely that it is a bug or an exception. Some users have pointed out that their system had theoretically TPM 2.0 but that it was deactivated manually before the update offer. However, if Microsoft makes a distinction here is questionable.
So far, Microsoft has not excluded its strict hardware requirements for Windows 11. However, users who wish to receive an additional year of security updates on Windows 10 can now register for the ESU program.
If we hear something civil servant about the relaxed requirements, we will inform you accordingly. Until then, however, you should assume that TPM 2.0 will continue to be a requirement for all Windows 11 PCs.
