Have any of the other relases had a hardware requirement that even 3 year old PCs don't meet? I just built my PC in 2020 and win11 is telling me I can't upgrade because of my basically new hardware...
My bet is on many many people simply can't upgrade.
Just about anything from 2018 or newer meets the hardware requirements, but at time of release (October 2021) that was just over 3 years. Ryzen 2000 and Intel 8000 are the initial entry level.l that meet the requirements.
Unless you used 2+ year old parts for you build, you just need to go into UEFI/BIOS and enable the firmware TPM (fTPM) or perform the BIOS update that switches that to being on by default.
I’d recommend the latter since you are likely to also gain stability and/or security improvements going that route.
Thanks for the info! I have a 9900k so that should be fine. It's on a designairz390 mobo so maybe that was the issue? I'll have to look into those bios settings
