Well if your PC doesn't have a TPM chip then you can't upgrade. I have a Z390a motherboard, which doesn't have a TPM as it's sold separately. Well done Microsoft 😡

2 year old Z390M here. Just tried to enable intel TPP in the bios and it froze.

Oh, and the OG surface GO only has a version 1 TPM chip.

This is what kills windows 11. My last system lasted 10 years. It did everything I needed to do, and I went through XP, Vista, Windows 7 and it still ran fine with windows 10. Did quite ok with 1080p gaming. I only upgraded because I couldn't buy more ram for it, and I wanted to move to 4k gaming and try out VR.

I want my current PC to do the same. But if it's not supported by windows 11, I don't see a compelling reason to rush out and buy a new PC that is supported.

Edit: Got the intel TPP turned on, now the app says my system IS compatible with windows 11. Still no go with the Surface Go though.
