The TPM standard has been around since 2011 and is a crypto-processor designed to create and manage cryptographic keys commonly used to maintain the security of a computer’s boot software. Specifically, Microsoft demands Windows 11 devices have two firmware security features: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and Secure Boot.
Unfortunately, not every PC currently running Windows 10 will get a notification saying it is ready to upgrade as the company has introduced strict new hardware requirements. Woodman also suggested that Windows’s integration with Android apps won’t be available at launch, saying the feature – revealed during the Windows 11 announcement video as a join effort with Intel – will first be introduced to “Windows Insiders over the coming months”. “We expect all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022.” “The upgrade will then roll out over time to in-market devices based on intelligence models that consider hardware eligibility, reliability metrics, age of device and other factors that impact the upgrade experience. “New eligible devices will be offered the upgrade first,” he said. The next iteration of Windows will be available from 5 October – but you might not get to upgrade straightaway.Īdam Woodman, GM of Windows marketing, announced the Windows 11 release date in a blog post this week, saying Microsoft will prioritise new devices in the phased rollout.
