Blue Iris OS Options

LOL, I have run W11 on a I7-6700k for almost 3yrs now and no issues whatsoever. I'm not buying into all this MS bullshit.

I have an Optiplex 7040 SFF also, but it has an i7-6700 which the Dell support page says will not allow Win11 even if you do the TPM2.0 update offered. Did you have a more recent processor? (it says:
"Note: Computers that shipped with Intel 6th and 7th Generation processors (i7-7xxx, i5-7xxx, i3-7xxx, i7-6xxx, i5-6xxx, and i3-6xxx) are not eligible to upgrade to Windows 11. Upgrading to TPM 2.0 does not bypass this Microsoft requirement.)"

Rufus fixes all!!!

Just asking...is there any benefit to updating to TPM2.0 (using the Dell utility on a i7-6700 system) on an otherwise ineligible win 10 system before (or after) using RUFUS to go to Win11?

TPM 2.0 just adds a tiny bit more protection against very specific types of malware, and there's really no downside to installing it, so if I can, I install it.

That said, this decision is entirely orthogonal to the Win11 upgrade, from a technical point of view, e.g. TPM 2.0 is more secure than TPM 1.2 underneath either Win10 or Win11. The original Win11 requirement for TPM 2.0 was just to spur hardware upgrades.

We should have a little contest to find the oldest system capable of running W11. This guy says he runs it on a late XP era machine:

arstechnica.com

What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs

When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it?

I have a 2012 mac mini (now running lubuntu very well) I could try it on, but it only has 4gb hard-soldered ram, so I doubt it could run anything so bloaty as W11.

I have Hp g1 that normally runs W8.1. I'm pretty sure that will load W11.

I did the TPM update, then the RUFUS. All worked great, and windows 11 updated also. So all good, thanks!

If you have a Microsoft account and goof around with Windows Insider membership stuff you could have gotten Prerelease/Beta editions of W11.
I put a copy of prerelease windows 11 in a dell OptiPlex 3010 SFF (4th Generation i3 processor). using my Windows Insider perks. it's doing security updates, but not all the Mickeymouse updates.
Which was kinda cool because you werent having to be prompted to restart to install updates, because they were not pushing any kernal updates out to the the Prerelease candidates after the W 11 went Live.
Now my nephew needed a SFF pc for something so i gave it away. still on W11 prerelease candidate.

The pre-release candidates were allowed to install on hardware that did not have TPM 2.0
 
I wonder if I still have the thumb drive of that
