Windows 11

[Smeggie]

I am sure this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I am too damn lazy (and tired) to search for it.

With Windows 10 support going away next month, are there any issues with me upgrading this damn computer to Windows 11 with regard to playing COD4

Because if I upgrade and it screws up I am going to be PISSED and have to take it out on @Ruggerxi 

[BUDMAN]

You will be fine ... 

infact I've had windows 11 for about a year now and it works just fine with no issues for me.

create a restore point and save it to a backup drive just to be save.

Hey Rob guess what? FU 

[KaptCrunch]

question  does your current system have TPM (Trusted Platforum Modual) ?  if not would need to update the hardware that has TPM.

if were me I would get a new bigger storage and clone the win 10 drive to it on old system, before remove new storage collect the new drivers for the new motherboard on the win 10 system then start computer in safemode with network (for register OS and get new firmware if needed for new hardware) for to load the drivers on new hardware then have your win 11 upgrade key (purchase it when buy new hardware)

register your OS  and keep record (write it down) and BitLocker key (your encriptted data key of storage).

Or just buy a new ready to go win 11 system and copy the old storage to new system ( write the BitLocker software key down     

what are your current system spec's ? weigh out pro/cons on total new hardware or patch up current system with new motherboard

Me im still using W10 but my pc doesnt support W11 , but anyways my RAM and GPU are all outdated.

Need to buy a brand new PC

I am running windows 11 since it came out with very view problems. In addition to KaptCrunch advise I would suggest running the Run the PC Health Check tool.

 Download PC Health Check App.

Once installed, it’ll tell you whether your device meets the requirements for Windows 11 and offer tips to improve your system’s overall health.

There are multiple ways to get around the TPM bullshit.

Rufus is the easiest way but you'll need a 16gb usb thumb drive or larger. Here check it out. It will download the installation media from Microsoft and allow you to turn certain checks off like TPM checks and CPU checks and memory checks. Using that you can literally install windows 11 on an old windows XP PC if you want. Make sure you follow the tutorial carefully. https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement

 

Oh it will 100% fuck up everything that is installed so you might as well just tell it to do a fresh install and delete everything after you back everything up. Maybe go buy another HDD and install win 11 on that and just unplug the win 10 hdd until your done. Then you can safely transfer everything over or just run everything from the Win 10 HDD.

My PC is older so doesn't support the TPM BS requirements and certainly not buying a new computer to play COD.

Rufus is awesome, works great.  Been using Windows 11 since it came out.

No idea what the hell TPM is.  I did this:

Refer to Jester's and Merlin007 post...

[CW4]

Google "Flyby11".  I use it on two laptops that MS said doesn't support Win 11.  Worked, both running Win 11.  One of them, an old Dell that was given to me, is really low end and runs slow because there isn't a Win 11 gpu driver for it.  The cpu has to do all the video work.  The other is just fine.

Well I have been looking at an excuse to upgrade my computer....no time like the present!

your choice  

TPM 2.0 role
TPM 2.0 plays a crucial role in enhancing the security of Windows 11 by providing hardware-level protection for sensitive data. It is essential for the following reasons:
Secure Storage: TPM 2.0 securely stores cryptographic keys, passwords, and digital certificates, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access. 

Biometric Authentication: It supports Windows Hello for Business, which securely manages and stores biometric data for secure logins. 

Malware Defense: TPM 2.0 is integral to BitLocker, which encrypts hard drives and partitions, ensuring that only legitimate systems can access them. 

Secure Boot: It verifies the integrity of the boot process, preventing unauthorized software from loading during startup. 

Data Execution Prevention (DEP): DEP ensures that malware or unauthorized applications cannot run in the computer's memory, adding an extra layer of protection. 
 

TPM 2.0 is a key component in the security architecture of Windows 11, providing a robust foundation for protecting user data and system integrity. 

Microsoft
TPM 2.0 – a necessity for a secure and future-proof Windows 11

with Bit Locker the digital key to your data to stop malware

rest can use win10 without TPM but no banking with it is fine for gaming 

you looking at tower or laptop has come along way in gaming hardware.

smeggie  can you run Speccy   will ID all your hardware and see how far back are and we can all have a laugh  J/K

note: open  motherboard to check Bios version to see if up to date

but i still need a newer GPU and RAM meory kit..

 

[iboomboom]

Don't upgrade to windows 11 do a clean install. I had problems when I upgraded windows 10. I ended up doing a clean install and life is overall good.

no most of it is games and tech manuals and yes of nice female chassis as you see in thread turn the other cheek.
