You could also try disabling "Sync your settings" before the next update to see if that helps. Another option is to check for a specific Group Policy setting if you're on Windows Pro.

This. You could also check if there's a separate TPM module header on your motherboard that needs a physical chip installed.

Re: **Subject: Windows 11 upgrade is a NIGHTMARE** So my PC meets the RAM and stora?

Hey there, that's a super frustrating spot to be in, and you're not alone. The AMD FX series is indeed from an era before TPM 2.0 was a standard requirement, so the option is often missing in the BIOS.

Let's double-check a few free things first:

1. **BIOS Update:** Even for an old board, check ...

Re: **Subject: Win 11 upgrade is killing me!!** Okay, I'm officially losing it?

Hey, I feel your pain! That UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR bluescreen is a real weekend-killer, even with the registry bypass. You're not alone—getting 6th/7th gen Intel to work can be a headache, but it's often doable.

First, let's try the cleanest free method: a **clean install using the Media Creation ...

Ugh, so my work PC (HP ProDesk 400 G3) is supposedly "compatible" but the Window?

Ugh, so my work PC (HP ProDesk 400 G3) is supposedly "compatible" but the Windows 11 installer keeps blocking me! The setup just stops and throws this error:

**"This PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements for running Windows 11."**

It's so vague! I ran the PC Health Check and it says I'm ...

Re: **Subject: Windows 11 upgrade is a NIGHTMARE** So my i7-6700K is suddenly "obso?

Hey there, totally feel your frustration. That 6700K is still a fantastic CPU, and being blocked on a TPM technicality is incredibly annoying. The good news is, there are a few legitimate, free workarounds.

First, double-check your BIOS one more time. Sometimes "enabling TPM" only activates version ...

I’m trying to upgrade my Windows 10 to 11 on my dual-boot system (with Ubuntu), ?

I’m trying to upgrade my Windows 10 to 11 on my dual-boot system (with Ubuntu), but the Windows 11 installer keeps failing. It gives me error code 0x80070002, or sometimes just says my PC doesn’t meet the requirements, even though it definitely does when I check from Windows 10. Has anyone else ...

My Windows 11 lock screen is just a solid black rectangle?

My Windows 11 lock screen is just a solid black rectangle. It doesn't show my background picture, the time, or any notifications. This started happening after the last update. I've tried restarting and checking the personalization settings, but the screen stays dark. How do I get my normal lock ...
