I haven't read all the posts here, but i do remember the WOW factor for a previous version. Could lightening strike again?
If you haven't been directed to yet, make sure you visit Windows 11 Forum. More abundant hoop-lah and Wow factor and "what ifs". It's new, a baby. May not look at all like it's currently presented. Lots to read everywhere. Enjoy!
I am having enough fun with my current Lenovo Win10 Laptop, will buy a new one on release of legs 11.
Hi there

If you run Virtual machines you can use a TPM emulator and even run UEFI and secure boot Virtual machines on MBR only devices. The only proviso of course is that the cpu must be capable of 64 bit operation and have VT virtualisation (or equivalent in AMD processors). I think VMWare allows TPM emulation - on any Linux host it's a doddle.
TPM emulator service running (emulator provided by IBM --free installable on linux distros - use your package manager) .
On Windows there's one I think provided by Microsoft.
Those who want to run W11 on "Insufficient hardware" as a VM say on Windows 10 - HYPER-V also has provision for "Emulated" TPM in the VM config. Not sure how to do that myself but I'm sure @Kari who is the resident expert on all things HYPER-V I'm sure has a method or example.
For my Linux example running the latest W11 build as a VM :
The TPM emulator daemon up and running
The VM configuration -- VM boot options also set to UEFI and secure boot -- on Linux Hosts using QEMU/KVM install OVMF for secure boot "Virtual BIOS" for the VM.
Secure boot option in the config
W11 as a VM running successfully
TPM module seen by Windows 11 Virtual Machine (no physical TPM / Disabled in BIOS )
For those unable to re-size partition(s) on Windows -- if you've sufficient space for re-size then download GPARTED iso and create bootable USB. It works very similar to standard Windows partition managers but works much better !!!.
Cheers

Why buy a new one when your Lenovo IdeaPad S145 already meets all the requirements to get a free update to Windows 11 when it's released? You have TPM 2.0 and your Athlon 300U is a supported processor.
