  Thanks to Windows 11, people are scalping TPM2.0 modules as well now. $24.90 ➡ $99.90 in just 12 hours https://twitter.com/...

• @dwizzzlemsft Dwizzzle on x

  @tomwarren Almost every CPU in the last 5-7 years has a TPM. For Intel its called the “Intel PTT” which you set to enabled. For AMD it would be “AMD PSP fTPM”. TPMs have been required for OEM certification since at least 2015 and was announced in 2013: https://www.zdnet.com/...

• @tomwarren Tom Warren on x

  it's wild that macOS Monterey will support Mac Pro models from 2013 and Mac mini models from fall 2014, but Windows 11 is killing support for plenty of devices that were launched less than 4 years ago

• @dispensa Steve Dispensa on x

• @tomwarren Tom Warren on x

  I flipped the switch in my BIOS to enable TPM and the Windows 11 upgrade checker says my PC is now compatible. Check your BIOS for the setting, as practically every modern CPU has TPM support. Look for Intel PTT or AMD PSP fTPM in the BIOS https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.…

  Microsoft lists 2 diff min reqs for Windows 11, no idea how people will not be confused by this. The Windows 11 landing page is the first image but it's not fully accurate The second image is msft docs that says nah, 1.2 is really the min and dont worry about generations https://…

  Microsoft, can you not impose a TPM requirement during a silicon shortage? Especially considering most desktop motherboards support TPM only as a purchasable accessory.

• @richgel999 Richard Geldreich on x

  I'm confused - does Win11 require TPM or not? I don't have it enabled on my most powerful workstation (and I'm not in the mood to mess with its BIOS settings because the machine works fine). This is dumb. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  this surface studio 2 i spent $4500 on three years ago was expensive, but it was an investment in my future and should be supported for a long time now let me just take a big sip of coffee and use this little windows 11 upgrade checker tool Microsoft came out with this week
