[byrne2310]

Can the 15-dk0056wm (6WC31UA) be upgraded to Windows 11, specifically does it have/support

     System firmware UEFI, Secure Boot capable

     Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0

     Graphics card compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver

Hi:

As long as it has a TPM 2.0 device it should support W11.

It meets all the other specs.

Take a look at the screenshot below for where to find the TPM device, and if you have the same, then your notebook should be good to go on W11.

Thanks for the super-quick reply.  I was hoping to find out if this specific laptop meets ALL of the requirements BEFORE buying it, thus I cannot determine if it has TPM.  That (among other elements) was why I posted the question.  Does someone out there KNOW if it meets all of the requirements for Windows 11?

You're very welcome.

According to Chapter 1, page 2 of the service manual, it has a TPM.

That would be the only info I would be able to provide, since I do not own a 15-dk0xxx notebook, and can only go by what the service manual indicates.

The only other requirement you didn't mention was the processor, and it meets the W11 requirements for the processor as well.

Hello
in theory if the model is recent it should be compatible
That said, except error windows 11 is still in test, the requirements could be modified
there is for example this article source microsoft

https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2021/06/28/update-on-windows-11-minimum-system-requirement...

moreover see here what is indicated by microsoft, the main one being that a compatible computer will be mentioned

So if you absolutely want windows 11 you can wait a bit
If no time, check what is at least recommended besides TPM

PCs with Windows 11 pre-installed will be available later this year.

Most Windows 10 PCs currently being sold will be able to upgrade to Windows 11. For the PC to be able to upgrade to Windows 11, it must meet the minimum hardware specifications and specific hardware is required for some features. The upgrade rollout plan is still being finalized but is scheduled to begin late in 2021 and continue into 2022. Specific timing will vary by device.

There are a few ways to find out. If you’re currently shopping for a new PC look for “Free upgrade to Windows 11” on the fact tag. You can also ask your retail sales professional to confirm.
