Some PC makers including HP and Lenovo will suggest steps to enable TPM 2.0 on select laptops and desktops-these machines have the hardware chip installed, but it isn’t active. TPM is a security chip in PCs, though older ones miss out, including some of their own Microsoft Surface devices.

Microsoft’s strict insistence on making TPM 2.0, or Trusted Privacy Module a requirement for Windows 11 saw a lot of laptops and desktops suddenly left in the lurch. Now it is back, after tweaks that made it work better on the vast range of component types that Windows PC ecosystem has. The Health Check app had to be taken down initially because it wasn’t working as desired. It hasn’t been the smoothest of starts for Microsoft. To run Windows 11, the minimum specs your PC needs are an Intel 8th gen Coffee Lake or Zen2 processor or newer, a TPM 2.0 security chip, minimum 4GB RAM and at least 64GB local storage.

The Windows 11 upgrade conundrum, largely well handled

Linux, with 2.38% share and the Google Chrome OS powered Chromebooks have cornered 1.74% of the global computing device market share. The August numbers from research firm Statcounter peg Microsoft Windows with a 76.12% market share, while Apple macOS is in a distant second place with 16.14% share. The biggest reason is affordable Windows laptops and PCs for the masses. In terms of the market share, Windows still has no competition. Even the smallest change made in Windows, is a big deal. Of this, a large demographic is already using Windows 10, and ready to upgrade to Windows 11. Microsoft says Windows has now clocked more than 1.3 billion monthly active users globally. The challenge for Windows 11 is magnified since Windows 10 has so far existed as a “Live” and “always updating” platform, including two major updates every year. There are a few ways to get to experience Windows 11-either upgrade your existing PC using the PC Health Check app, buy a new PC with Windows 10 that is eligible to get Windows 11 or purchase a new PC that already has Windows 11 pre-installed. Users in India and around the world can now download Windows 11 on compatible laptops, desktops and convertible computing devices. We are at another such juncture, with the expectation of an elevated computing experience from the free Windows 11 upgrade.
