Pretty bummed out that Windows 11 will not run on my dell laptop that is top of the class i7 7th generation of its time. This is so sad that Microsoft has pulled this stint.

there are some videos showing how to install it on non-tpm systems. no idea how effective it is as my system has it so didn't check now.

Don't worry, there are many systems which dont have tpm, so maybe in a month or two someone will surely come out with modded iso as they are easy to customise.

But something which needs to be taken care of is that ISO is not having any rat or botnet so make sure it is coming from official git or site.

There's a high chance they will provide method to make/compile your own version too. So prefer that, if you have time to run DISM and use it to deploy changes to win iso.

Most likely MS will drop this after some backlash.

When Windows 10 was released initially, users were not allowed to do a clean install on a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine. If they wanted to upgrade, the only path was to install Win10 on top of Win8.1. I remember this because back then I had a Windows 8 on my laptop (not 8.1). There was an issue which was preventing me from upgrading to Win8.1, but I could not install 10 directly on 8. I was required to upgrade it to 8.1 first. I had contacted Microsoft support who were of no help at all.

This had caused a few problems for quite a few people. Eventually they dropped this and allowed people to activate Windows 10 by doing a clean install on any PC which already had Windows 8 or 8.1 installed. After that I was finally able to move to Windows 10.

But you need serious backlash, like people should threaten to boycott Windows 11. Only then Microsoft will take notice.

Microsoft is known to make a****le decisions like this. Let's not forget about Vista's ridiculous system requirements and Xbox one's always online connection requirements. On the latter they did a u-turn after backlash.

I hear Windows 11 is now available for download officially. Has anyone tried the official build yet?

Someone just clarify me, how's the upgrade would work for existing users.

Win10 to be upgraded to Win11 or Win11 would be a standalone setup?

Does the update break anything? Drivers, etc? I am kind of wary of that before trying it.
