Think of Windows 11 as a refined and polished Windows 10.
Introducing Windows 11
I have 2.0 tpm and nothing in the bios regarding a tpm setting. but my computer is compatible for windows 11. You may not need a tpm option in the bios for windows 11 compatibility. You might only need a tpm 2.0 module to buy for the motherboard.
Can't activate secure boot in bios?
It has been said in a comment in this thread, secure boot is not a requirement for windiws 11.
I'll turn it off and run WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup to see ...
edit: I disabled secure boot and started WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup I am compatible with windows 11.
Although TPM 2 is enabled (and secure boot) PC Health Check still shows that W11 cannot be installed. Have sent feedback FWIW.

I updated my thread in 11 Forums.
...& TPM 2.0 compatible
We're definitely stuck.
It looks like I'm stuck with Windows 10. | Page 3 | Windows 11 Forum
Hi folks
On a VM I can "Emulate" TPM 2.0 (Pass thru for real hardware available too but emulated might be a good test) so it might be worth a try with an "Official Build" when available -- I've had no problem with the previous leaked build. I wonder also if isos will eventually become available via UUPDUMP as well.
OK this VM is a W2K19 Server but I can create a W11 VM with similar "Virtual hardware" once I get official Iso. The Unofficial one worked perfectly. On my machine if TPM is disabled in the BIOS then I can't add TPM via add hardware in the VM as it doesn't show up. Enabling it then I can add. I think the TPM is integrated into the MOBO -- some computers need a separate chip.

@johngalt -- do some other VM systems allow "Emulation of TPM" even if the physical hardware doesn't exist. - Some old MBR systems (although capable of UEFI boot) allow VM's to use UEFI and secure boot even though they have been booted up in MBR / legacy BIOS mode. VMWare seems to be quite flexible in that type of thing. Do older MBR only boot machines have TPM functionality -- if they do probably not 2.0. Just a query so don't spend a lot of time on it !!!

so yeah hyped... lol
I wonder if I can upgrade Windows 10 to 11 without losing my config and install, games etc..
I don't have $ to build another PC.. and
