TPM] not detected

Any advice or comments please. I always try to keep up with upgrades just because.

Your CPU doesn't appear to be supported: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...amd-processors

However in saying that, you could still install it manually, if TPM is enabled - in your BIOS, look for an option called "fTPM" and turn it on.

Actually it seems thats not quite true -- Just downloaded the New ISO from Microsoft and it bluntly refused to install, no options to proceed at own risk etc. The ONLY component that is not compatible is the CPU. The TPM is detected and passed.

Best option is to find what CPU's your Board will support

You may find a Ryzen 3 that qualifies

Thanks will talk to my man. What will I expect to pay to upgrade that please?

Yeah OK-- What a screw up Microsoft !!



Attached original W10 Drive and ran their own Tester: ( the larger pictures are from W10 - the smaller is from the empty Drive)

I pass the Microsoft PC Health check and Why Not Windows 11

This one from ghacks https://bytejams.com/ says graphic's does not cut the mustard

Stick with windows 10 until you eventually need to replace the PC, easiest solution. By the time windows 10 reaches end of life the 2200G will be a 7 year old CPU (from initial release date not from when you purchased it)

I also tend to upgrade as soon as possible, jumped on windows 8 and windows 10 when I could, but I'm thinking I won't this time. To be fair though there's very little chance I will still be using this same PC for gaming in 2025.

It's unlike the previous versions of Windows, Microsoft is not trying to encourage people to use Windows 11!

Remember, those days when MS 'forced' Win7 /8 users to upgrade to Win10?

Your CPU isnt compatible.
Your older MB might not support the latest gen ryzens

Dont waste your time and money .
You dont NEED Win11
