Next week Insider Preview user will get new build successor 21996.1

Internet connection : Microsoft account and internet connectivity required for setup for Windows 11 Home

Shove it, Microsoft! No legitimate reason to require an Internet account to install an operating system.

I doubt TPM will be required once launched, typically only on laptops and business pc's use them.

[restsugavan]

Final release of W11 will disabled this check.

Due it was on delevopment period secure must be first priority.


If you're Windows Insider member.
This section will be bypass checking.

And why does ASUS motherboards NOT come with TPM module installed. This is BS! I just bought the Hero XIII z590 a high end board and guess what NO TPM module. It must be bought separately. MSI and GIGASBYTE boards have TPM module installed, but not ASUS. All my Hero boards (got VIII -X and XI) and Z87 pro have NO TPM module.
Come on ASUS this is just so stupid. You have to do something about it and send a module to all your customers .If not, you will alien a lot of people in the future. I am going to buy GIGABYTE in the future, that's for sure

TPM 2.0 well known as OEM ecosystem components.
Since Intel 10th generation processor class released.
( Icelake U & Cometlake U )
AMD 2nd generation Ryzen processor class released.



In D.I.Y. market UEFI 2.0 BIOS act as TPM 2.0 chips.
So ASUS and other vendors may not integrated
those TPM chip inside their board.

No they don't.....The pc health app says you can't install windows 11 despite what you say . You must buy a TPM module.

@Mokichu The 21996.1 may limited some features for Windows Insider.

According to Microsoft docs above Intel processor list.
My old folks CPU didn't support W11 .

But I was able to running it on my rig easily due Insider member account.

Next week the new build will fixing these TPM check soon.
Windows teams need to ensure their lastest OS support as much as possible hardware vendors including D.I.Y. sections.

Don't be worried. Let's see

It was not final build for everyone. It leaked from member of Insider level which may working on oem vendors. So the TPM 2.0 module
checking appear when you're trying installation without authorization by Microsoft.

Don't worry final build was so far from existing. When its going to RC level you'll able to testing the nearest complete version once.

Windows 11 built for all Windows 10 existing hardware vendors and
will be welcome everyone on the end development period.

This 21996.1 was only starting change from Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 21390.1010 last week for me and all Windows Insider around the world.

So don't judge final product from this earlier build.
