Is my computer compatible with Windows 11

[Somnan]

Hello, 

I would like to know why my desktop Pavillon 570 is not compatible  with the future Windows 11 ( says Microsoft ) 

my Lubin mother board is too old ? ( don't know if was made before 2016, I bought  my computer 3 years ago

for me I have many thing which are compatible, apart that I am with Bios, not UEFI 

I have read that it's possible to change Bios to  UEFI ; how to do it, and can I recover all my system , with programs, after ? 

thank you

Hi:

It may be if it has a TPM 2.0 chip.

I did find this document regarding hardware requirements, so we are just going to have to wait and see what happens when we actually try to upgrade older PC's to W11...

Compatibility for Windows 11- Compatibility Cookbook | Microsoft Docs

According to the above document, you may be able to upgrade to W11 as long as your PC meets the hard floor requirements.

PS:  I noticed that Microsoft edited the above article and removed this information that it used to contain.

Hard Floor:

• CPU: Core >= 2 and Speed >= 1 GHz
• System Memory: TotalPhysicalRam >= 4 GB
• Storage: 64 GB
• Security: TPM Version >= 1.2 and SecureBootCapable = True
• Smode: Smode is false, or Smode is true and C_ossku in (0x65, 0x64, 0x63, 0x6D, 0x6F, 0x73, 0x74, 0x71)

Soft Floor:

• Security: TPMVersion >= 2.0
• CPU Generation

Thank you for your response 

Yes, I think the problem is the TPM 2.0 chips

I have the message " standard hardware security not supported " 

 I shall try to solve the problem, otherwise, my PC is ok, I think

You're very welcome.

Microsoft’s latest and shiny new operating system has just been unveiled. Windows 11 has been announced after 5 years and hence has been a much-awaited update.

Hello
the official version of windows 11 at the time of writing this answer has not yet been released, unless I'm mistaken!
Don't rush, any new version has these problems, wait at least a little bit before you start
Check everywhere if there are problems after installation or not!
For tpm 2.0, there are many sites that are starting to talk about it.
You can start by checking the general compatibility with the microsoft tool

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11
https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp
another tool given by the expert @WAWood gives more information (thanks to him for this find

for TPM 2.0 to be activated with bios uefi, if it is possible
"In the search box or with the Windows + R key combination, we type tpm.msc."

look at the bottom, where the TPM version is shown. If we see version 2.0, our computer should be compatible with Windows 11 in this section.

if your PC is 3 years old you can run windows 11 but does it have TPM.20 and UEFI support and secure boot ?

my hp pavilon dv67000 can't run windows 11

@Petlex67 -- is this your computer: HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p050l PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

It was first shipped in February 2017 -- almost 4.5 years ago -- quite old.

The official requirements for Windows 11 keep changing. 

Microsoft offers a free utility program to evaluate your system.

I would keep using Windows 10 until its "sunset" date, in October 2025. By then, your computer's disk-drive will be about 8 years old -- ready for "retirement".

@Somnan -- I bought  my computer 3 years ago

Most disk-drives have a 1-year or 2-year warranty. So, your disk-drive is "out-of-warranty".  As long as it is working correctly, and you make good backups, this does not matter to you.

Note that Microsoft will support Windows 10 until Fall 2025. So, keep using Windows 10 for a few more years.  But, when your disk-drive (and the rest of your computer) gets to be 5 or 6 years old, consider buying a brand-new computer at that time.

What makes Windows 11 attractive to you? Is there something "absolutely-must-have" about it?

My automobile was manufactured in 2018 -- 3 years ago -- and I am satisfied with keeping it for at least another 3 or 4 years.  I don't feel a need to trade it in, just yet.  Keep your computer, and save your money.
