Can you verify this using the verification tool? Reports on the internet say the tool reports machines with earlier generation processors are being flagged as not compatible. I don't have any i8 or later CPUs to test with, but thus far all of my machines with TPMs have reported as not compatible from Microsoft's tool. https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp

Here's the actual compatibility doc. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/windo... TPM 1.2 is the bare minimum required, TPM 2.0 for some security features That's a very far cry from "8th gen Intel required", TPM 1.2 has been around for more than a decade. Odds are you need to change a setting in your BIOS.

> lacking the ability to position on any other screen edge? I didn’t watch the video, and your question mark gives me hope: Was this actually said? A horizontal taskbar would be horrible.

They didn't say however in the leaked build last week the taskbar could not be moved to the left, right or top of the screen as it previously could. Hopefully it was just a limitation in that particular developer build.

Incredibly misleading statement. You just linked to a list of processors for starting development of a new embedded Windows device. 99.9999% of people will never have to concern themselves with this. Microsoft would never limit support to CPUs released a few years ago.

Your link shows only Intel >= 8th gen supported. This link says TPM 2.0 minimum: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifica... And no 1st gen AMD Ryzen supported: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/min...

Again, Microsoft seems to be genuinely incapable of understandng why anyone could havev ever liked the Windows already available. As if that was some crazy unthinkable impossibility. Perhaps at some point between 60 and 90% market share you should stop trying too hard to be like the others and consider the possibility that not everything you've done is wrong?

Judging by their own line of tablet computers, it seems like they genuinely don't understand why anyone in would want a desktop. Which is sad, because Windows 10 is not a nice tablet UI
