Product: Pavillion 550-113na
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Advised  by windows update that my desktop isnt windows 11 compliant as it doesnt have a TPM. Having checked via the BIOS it looks like my desktop doesn't have the required hardware. The desktop is more than 3 years old. I'm not that worried about upgrading to WIndows 11, just wondered if I was missing something .

Hi:

 

Many HP consumer-class desktop PC's such as yours, did not come with TPM security chips.

 

Your PC's processor also does not meet the requirements to run Windows 11.

This does not necessarily mean you can't install W11 on your PC, but you would have to perform a clean install and reinstall all of your programs and files.

 

If you want to see if W11 works on your PC, you can make a bootable W11 USB installer from the link below.

If for some reason, W11 does not work correctly on your PC, you can reinstall W10.

 

I currently have W11 clean installed on two PC's that I have, that do not meet the requirements for the W11 upgrade and they both work fine on W11 so far.

 

I used the free Macrium Reflect software to make system images of the W10 installation before I installed W11.

 

You may want to do the same. 

 

Make a system image using Macrium reflect, and if W11 doesn't work right, you can easily go back to your current W10 installation.

 

You save the image on a portable hard drive and the software will have you make a bootable USB flash drive or DVD you boot from to access the system image stored on the portable hard drive.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply Paul. I think I will wait to see what W11 brings me over W10 before attempting the upgrade.

Cheers
