Is it going to be mandatory to run Win 11 to use MSFS?  Sure hope not.

9 months old high end computer and I get thumbs down 😒

with your processor and chipset, you only need to enable Intel PTT and your thumb will be the other way up. Evidently some kind of publicity campaign is going to be needed as this topic is not working.🙂

Highly unlikely.

Nope - check out this post by RXP - interesting read

I have Aorus Pro z390 with a 9600 CPU and was no go also until I enabled Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) in bios.

Older menu layout than mine, but gives you a clue.

Hi mate I have done that but still tells me no go I have a 8700k cpu

Looks like my I7-7700K is not supported...still running great with a 4.8ghz overclock.

No reason to worry. DX12 Ultimate is available in Windows 10 and it's literally the ONLY useful feature you need.

People are mass buying TPM chips for their motherboards now and scalpers targeted those useless pieces of silicon too... LOL, just LOL at the herd mentality.

Im out of luck looks like. This faithful old PC of mine that has worked flawlessly does not have Secure Boot. It does have TPM & UEFI. 

Unless theres a workaround for installing Win11 without Secure Boot I'll have to get rid of a perfectly good machine and buy a new one if I want Win11.

Yeah, thumbs down also. Saw a TPM chip selling for 10 eur at my local PC shop though.
Checked BIOS but couldn’t find settings for enabling TPM anywhere. I’m pretty sure they will remove this requisite before launch because acceptance of the new OS will be low.  

Spoke too soo, enabling PTT in BIOS solved the problem.

Is that after installing a TPM module? I have 7700 and enabling PTT did  nothing but I do have a TPM slot on my mobo. It's unclear whether you just need to add the module or also enable it in the BIOS.

It is perfectly clear.

1. Most reasonably modern chipsets have either Intel PTT or its AMD equivalent. 

2. On most motherboards, it is disabled.

3. If it is enabled, it serves as a TPM and Windows 11 will run on that PC.

4.Unless of course the processor is an Intel 7 series or less apparently. 

Yes, everyone is focusing on the TPM requirement when actually, the bigger hurdle for many is going to be the CPU. Anything less that an 8th Gen CPU seems to fail the test. Like my i7-6700K running at 4.7GHz.

Now we already know that the test tool MS has launched needs more work and they admit there will be updates to it so who knows, maybe a CPU such as mine is actually ok. They might just have hard coded the program to fail a CPU older than 8th Gen.

I have a 10th Gen Core-i7 Laptop with dedicated NVidia GPU that passes. My “old”desktop running MSFS will eat the laptop for breakfast 100 times over in terms of gaming and graphics performance but this is about modern security protocols, not performance.

Like with Win 10, only a free copy that is compatible with my system will get me to upgrade. Win 10, so far, has been a very good OS. I don't plan on upgrading, but look forward to reviews and opinions.

That is how MS will increase their profits, forcing people to buy new PCs, and with each one sold, they get money from the PC makers for the new licenses.

And accelerate the human race towards the end of the world thru global warming by encouraging billions of users to toss perfectly good PC’s. Well played MS. Not.
