I bloody well hope so.....as my top of the range Surface Pro 4 cost the best part of £2000.00. with TPM 2.0. and Secure Boot.
Showing as failed.
Thanks for lowering my blood pressure.

But I don't understand Dencal. Why the heck are these computers being flagged as 'failed' by Microsoft?

What is CSM? I see no mention of it in any of my BIOS settings...

The Compatibility Support Module (CSM) is a component of the UEFI firmware that provides legacy BIOS compatibility by emulating a BIOS environment, allowing legacy operating systems and some option ROMs that do not support UEFI to still be used.

How the heck I don't have TPM?! (Could not find TPM1.2 or higher on this PC)

WIN + R, tpm.msc, ENTER

also in Device Manager, Security (may have to show hidden items)

My rig failed, failed, failed. According to MS and the Health thing. Horse hockey. I went and installed it. No problems, none. activated by itself.



Oh, for @steve108 , @kado897 and any others following the broken busted Startup Impact on Win 10 since last August, it is alive and well on Win 11. At least until it's officially released.

So you actually don't need all that TPM and other stuff? And that secureboot mess?

There will be (and are already) ways around it, so I hear. Remember, that is for booting to clean install as far as I know. That's the only time a TPM would come into play, when you have a device such as USB thumb or DVD inserted and attempting a boot from it.

An in-place upgrade should not be affected.

It will tell you that you don't have it if it's not enabled in BIOS.
Should also be here
