Windows 11 is due to start next Tuesday. Before the release, ComputerBase once again summarized requirements, installation, TPM and CPU requirements in the past week. The interest in the new operating system catapulted the associated article to the top of the charts.
In the article “Windows 11 as an update: requirements, installation, TPM & amp; CPU requirements ”, the editors summarize all the findings of the last few months since Microsoft unveiled the new operating system on June 24th of this year.
The tiresome topic of system requirements
Above all, questions about the system requirements were always a topic of discussion from the beginning, after Microsoft tripped itself several times and “approached” customers with statements that were sometimes confusing and sometimes contradicting at first glance. It was not uncommon for the manufacturer's support documents and press reports to be examined across multiple sources.
Installation help
In the report, however, the editors not only go into these points, but also provide assistance with the fresh installation or in the form of several instructions in image and video format but coming as an update from Windows 10. For example, it explains how an installation without TPM 2.0 works via Regedit and how Windows 10 Home can be installed on the system without a Microsoft account. The latter is actually only intended by Microsoft for Windows 10 Pro.
