Microsoft will announce Windows 11 today, you can watch the announcement here
We've been mentioning Windows 11 for a while now, and the announcement is looking to be closer than expected. In fact, we've found a few ways to monitor today's announcements. Windows 11 will very likely become a free upgrade for existing Windows 10 users.
Everything points to the fact that the announcements will take place at 11 AM Eastern Time, 17:00 CEST. The event would be imminent on Microsoft's website . At 21 pm there will be a separate live stream on YouTube are for developers. This would have to do with the expected updated Store in the next version of the operating system.
Thanks to a download link for an (incomplete) beta of the new OS, it was already possible to see the new, more rounded design style in action in areas such as the taskbar, start menu and window, along with the modernized icons. Widgets have also been added, an option has been created to view power consumption per app and there are new privacy functions. Microsoft has more or less confirmed the existence of Windows 11 in a support document . The update is officially called Sun Valley or 21H2 October Update 2021, so it will probably be available in October this year. It is not yet known for sure whether users with Windows 7, 8 or 10 will be able to upgrade for free.

except you don't need it. tpm will not male TLS better at all. it is probably used to additional shit by defender IIRC but nothing that the CPU cannot already do. but most usages are disc encryptions, passwords and azure/365 shit token that common user does not care at all and you can do it without it.
apparently TPM is leveraged as a system level entropy and indirectly used in TLS and other system encryption mechanisms.

All pc rigs from the last decade can be used if they have uefi and tpm module.
all motherboards with new tpm slots or integrated have also nvme m2 slots for ssd to support directstorage
Well, you can install NVMe SSD disk to any system with a free PCIe slot using a cheap M.2 to PCIe adapter. You can even boot Windows 10 from an NVMe disk on old BIOS systems - if you boot to an UEFI emulator on an USB disk, which includes an open-source NVMe driver. I still have a few LGA1156 (Core i3/i5/i7 / Intel P55/H55) systems upgraded with NVMe system disk, and I tested it to work down to LGA 775 (Core 2 Quad / Intel P45).
There are PCIe x1 LPC raiser cards which can host TPM LPC modules.
Unfortunately, UEFI emulators do not support Secure Boot, so it's not certain they could be made to work with Windows 11.
Also some early UEFI systems did not have a built-in NVMe driver to support booting from NVMe disks, so you'd need to hack the firmware to include an open-source NVMe driver.
With their previous requirements they had to support still everything that had the NX bit and above. This is a huge cutoff, especially also including GPUs.
I bet at the end it will run without tpm and uefi.. of course no-uefi means no direct storage.
Well, desktop Sandy Bridge / Silvermont and Bulldozer / Jaguar systems should work, with some additional effort to upgrade to a D3D12 video card. That's fine by me, considering they are nearly 10 years old now - AND, you can still install an NVMe SSD disk in these systems, which gives you some significant usabilily improvements and DirectStorage support.
Cheap notebooks released before 2017 and desktops released before 2011 are probably not going to cut it - you can probably install Windows 11 on these systems with some effort, but important components will not work and the OS may fail in spectacular ways, just like it happens with macOS /OS X hacks for older Intel systems...

except we don't need WDDM 2.0 to run another desktop. wddm 1.x works fine. not all people needs direct3d12 gaming features on all their systems.
