I only use MSFS on my Desktop PC, so I will probably stay with Win-10, unless Win-11 brings a performance improvement that makes it worth installing.

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.

 

Just enabled it in Bios. No TMP module installed.

Nice MS move to fight those retarded UEFI trojans.

I think the average PC user, when faced with replacing their PC to get Windows 11, is going to tell MS to word not allowed, and stay with W10.

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. 

So true, just realizing Im just one out of millions of people globally who might have to toss PCs and get new ones.

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.

Exactly, it will be such an epic waste. Considering the resources of the earth. The current silicon shortage has shown us how fragile things are and to think of all the gazillions of "useless" PCs people will dispose of. The only way to save them and perhaps send them places where people can use them is for organizations to collect certain numbers of them, install Linux and give them out to people in need.

That can be done safely till Oct 25, 2025. After that they pull the plug on all updates - including security ones. I'm in the same boat as you. The moment we all get WIn10 running so smooth and happy the next appears on the horizon!

Just a quick note here, I did have to change fTPM from passive to active (I think those were the options) but I left UEFI to Legacy. This is on an Asus X570-Plus Tuf Gaming with a Ryzen 5800+. It now says I am eligible to run Win11, so I am questioning whether UEFI is required like you all seem to think it is.

It still is showing it won't run on my PC. I think it has something to do with secure boot. For some reason my Rog Strix b450-f was set to "other os" instead of "windows UEFI" in the bios boot settings. I've selected Windows UEFI but I think I'd need to reinstall windows 10 in order for secure boot to be enabled. 

No, you don't need to re-install.  There is a W10 utility accessed from the command prompt, "mbr2gpt" which will convert your OS disc from BIOS to UEFI without changing any of the contents. After the conversion, you just have to set your BIOS to boot with UEFI, but there's no need to re-install W10.  I just did it on my machine this a.m., and the MS app says I'm now W11-ready.

Just search for mbr2gpt and you'll find walkthrough articles and videos.

It must not be, but the rumor I think came from the Minimum Requirements displaying in the PC Health Check, under System Firmware.  It also appears having a slightly older CPU is not the issue w/ those here reporting not Win 11 ready.

 

Based on widespread reports, this is turning into an absolute PR nightmare for MS (regardless of their intentions). The "average" user (which many of us I'd hazard aren't) would just as easily look at switching to the Apple ecosystem when forced to look at new hardware, justified or not.

You know, of course, that the only goal Microsoft assigned to MSFS was to kill off Windows 7 ?  If not for our beloved sim, everybody would still be on 7. And that around 2025 MS will release a shiny new simulator working exclusively with  Windows 11 ?

PS  (in case you have any doubt, this is a lame joke)

Don’t even bother with that app that confirms if your PC is compatible. It is without doubt the worst rubbish MS have ever released. All it has done is create concern and get people fiddling with their BIOS settings and changing UEFI boot settings. They publish one thing and create a tool that says something else. What a joke.

It's quite funny that we're all (me included) panicking or annoyed about a new version of Windows before we even know if it will actually make our MSFS experience better!😀 For all we know, Win11 could be the new Win8😊 or <shivers> Win ME!!!🤢
