Default Re: Windows 11

As the October push to end Windows 10 support comes up, some people might find they are unable to upgrade their PC. If your PC is not too old (around 2018 or newer), I would urge people to check to see if they have a TPM (hardware or software) installed that just might just not be enabled. A disabled TPM will show an incompatibility for the new OS, but if you have it, enabling it will correct the problem. It must be enabled in your BIOS (newer PC's have a UEFI) settings. Refer to your PC or Motherboard manual if you need to see if you have it and how to enable it. It might be named slightly different. I did a new PC build in 2022, and was getting the 'Can't upgrade to Win 11' message. It was disabled by default. I had to enable the TPM, and now it's good to go. Check before you pony up for a new PC.
