Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

My PC that I've just built last summer is not able to upgrade to W11 despite still having the best AMD components available. How is this going to work out?

Edit: I figured it out. I needed to reset my CPU settings in BIOS. Now my system reaches the requirements.

Unless you built with like, really old parts, I'm not sure how this would be a problem?

Probably the motherboard. That's why I can't go to 11.

The newest available even to this day.

Then you should be fine to install W11. I'm on AM4 x570 and I can install W11. Secure Boot and fTPM are both on, and you can disable the requirement to need either.

You can still install 11 by disabling its requirements with Rufus.

Or could swap to Linux as most of Lemmy would probably tell you.

All the new AMD Chips have had an integrated fTPM for quite some time. Dunno what else the problem could be. But as long as you don't really need Windows, I'd go Linux.

You probably have some stuff like fTPM disabled in the UEFI. If you have AMD Zen or newer, it should work as long as you enable the settings.

Also, update your firmware. Any newer AMD firmware should enable fTPM automatically precisely to enable Windows 11 support.

AMD was really forward looking when they added this shit in 2016 eh

You actually need Zen+, the 1000 series Zen CPUs aren't compatible but the 2000+ series are!
