There are a lot of reports that the 'Windows 11 installation recommendation screen' was displayed on PCs that should not be supported.



The official version of 'Windows 11' released in October 2021 includes 'support for

TPM 2.0 ' as one of the minimum system requirements, and it is normal for PCs that do not support TPM 2.0. The technique does not allow you to install Windows 11. However, several users have reported that the 'Screen recommending updating to Windows 11' was displayed even on PCs that do not support TPM 2.0.

Required for Windows 11 installation, TPM 2.0 is a security chip installed in chipsets and CPUs that protects the machine from access and file tampering by attackers at the hardware level. If your PC does not support TPM 2.0, you will not be able to install Windows 11 using normal techniques, even if it meets other requirements (such as storage capacity and memory capacity).



However, Reddit user hbarcellos reported on June 8, 2022 that a message prompting him to install Windows 11 was displayed on a PC that was previously not recommended to install Windows 11. It is said that hbarcellos's PC is equipped with a Skylake generation Intel CPU. Since the Skylake generation CPU does not support TPM 2.0 depending on the model, it seems that hbarcellos's PC does not support TPM 2.0, but it is recommended to install Windows 11 from the text. ..


There were many similar reports in hbarcellos's post that 'a screen recommending the installation of Windows 11 was displayed on a PC that does not support TPM 2.0'. For example, AceRimmer412 posted a screenshot showing that a screen recommending the installation of Windows 11 was displayed on a PC with a CPU ' Core i5-7200U ' that does not support TPM 2.0. In addition, AceRimmer412 is participating in the 'Windows Insider Program' where you can try the preview version of Windows.



From the above report, it was whispered that Microsoft may have changed the requirements of Windows 11, but although it uses a PC with a CPU ' Core i7-7500U ' of the same generation as AceRimmer 412, Windows 11 is still non-existent. Some users have reported that it remains recommended, and there has been a lot of speculation about the requirements of Windows 11.


Similar to the Reddit report above, Twitter also posted a post from a Windows Insider Program participant stating, 'I'm using a non-TPM 2.0 CPU, but a screen recommending installing Windows 11 was displayed.' It was sent. However, the Windows Insider Program management team replied to the tweet, 'This is a bug and is currently under investigation.'




The management team went on to say, 'The requirements (for Windows 11) haven't changed.' In other words, it is only a bug that the screen recommending the installation of Windows 11 is displayed on the PC without TPM 2.0, and it seems that official support for the PC without TPM 2.0 is not planned at the time of writing the article.
