I was just wondering what people thought of it.. (Please keep it PG, Safe for work)

I'll Start, it looks okay, the different maximize functions are pretty cool, & how about the multi-monitor thing, ABOUT TIME. The start menu in my pc is Absolutely going back over to the left. I LOVE the fact we'll get multiple desktops, I'd like to keep icons from every service separate, Epic, Steam, GOG, etc.,

I don't like the fact I'll never be able to dual boot on this PC ever again, I'm not a huge fan of Linux, But I guess I can get a secondary pc for that..

You had better just hope that your PC has a TPM 2.0 chip in it. Because my BRAND NEW PC does not. Luckily it has a header for one which I had to order separately but my wife's PC which I bought not long before mine doesn't even have the header so she is screwed because TPM 2.0 is a requirement of running Windows 11. Those chips are selling out everywhere and what used to be a $8 chip is now a $50 chip in most stores that still have them.

I checked my old ASRock X470 Taichi + Ryzen 5 3600X with the MS Windows PC Health Check software after enabling AMD fTPM in the UEFI (and you might want to enable SVM Mode too) and I get a positive on Win 11.

If you run an Intel board, well, that might be something completely different then.

Good for health, bad for education.

Hi guys. I just now checked to see if my laptop has TPM 2.0, and I am good to go for W11. My Laptop is an MSI GT75 Titan 8SF, got about 3 years ago. I checked BitLocker settings, and it opened the Microsoft Store, since Home version of W10 doesn't have BitLocker I think. Anyway, if you have Home version of W10, found online an easy way to see if you have TPM 2.0: Press "Windows" key +R, and type in tpm.msc. It should say TPM is ready for use, and version info is listed under "TPM Manufacturer Information". Hope this info helps you guys

Well I just did tpm.msc and I got the following on my MSI MPG X570 for AMD

Compatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) cannot be found on this computer.
Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later and it is turned on in the BIOS.

Al probably not be upgrading till close to end of life. Not long upgraded my CPU n Mobo

if someone thinks that the Microsoft provided health check doesn't say much, I found an article on one of my computer sites I frequent that refers to another program that would say a little bit more Link
