# Windows 11 TPM 2.0 And Secure Boot Requirements.
With the release of Windows 11 on the 5th of October 2021 Microsoft has mandated the use of Secure Boot capable UEFI firmware and TPM 2.0 hardware functionality. Although Microsoft pushed extensively for both the use and widescale implementation of these features in an effort to increase the security of the Windows 11 platform this move had undoubtably cased myriad of issues and controversies. Mainly the official lack of support for first generation AMD Ryzen CPU’s and issues for users dual booting operating systems.

The first iteration of AMD’s Ryzen platform debut on March 2nd 2017, while considered an older platform in breakneck and ever advancing world semiconductors; The platform is still considered modern and capable in the eyes of many users despite lacking official hardware support for Windows 11. This is primarily due to the absence of integrated TPM 2.0 functionality on the chipset and absence of discrete TPM 2.0 modules on early AM4 motherboards. TPM 2.0 functionality is provided through the use of either a discrete TPM 2.0 module which is built into a motherboard or is available as an addon chip; Integrated TPM 2.0 functionality is built into many contemporary CPU’s.

Thankfully these issues can be remedied by bypassing Windows 11’s upgrade requirement checks and can be performed through the use command line arguments and freely available software.

In order to install Windows 11 onto an otherwise unsupported system perform the following actions;

## Prerequisites

Hey are you interested in getting your witness up the ranks? I am out looking for lower ranked people to help boost up so I was going to vote for yours! Have you written a post on why you're interested in being a witness? Just curious. I think it would help to convince people to support yours!

Looks like upgrading to win 11 is going to be a little tricky, I know my laptop was complaining about something when it asked me to upgrade lol haven't figured out what just yet!

Yes, I am interested in getting my witness node up the ranks. Where should I create the post detailing my ambitions as a witness node operator? I'm focused around secure system architecture and networks as I'm involved within the cybersecurity industry. Love the concept behind hive as a lot of the mainstream social media platforms are very privacy invasive and content moderation isn't consistent.

Had to rebuild my desktop after a hardware upgrade, so I went looking for a legit Windows 11 Pro key without paying a fortune. Came across https://officedigital.io/product/windows-11-pro-1pc-license/ and wasn’t sure what to expect at first. But the ordering process was super clear, and they sent over the activation key almost instantly—no delays, no shady redirects. What surprised me most was how well-documented their instructions were. I followed the steps, entered the key, and activation went through without issues. No reboots or phone calls needed. Honestly, compared to some of the chaos I’ve dealt with buying keys from sketchy sellers on marketplaces, this was a breath of fresh air. If you're building a system or doing a clean install, this saved me both time and money.

Hello there, for activation, if you want to avoid purchasing a new key, using a free activation tool is a viable option. I recommend checking out the guide on [windows 7 activator kmspico](https://kms-tool.com/How-To-Activate-Windows.html). It walks you through the process of activating Windows 10 without additional cost, providing a practical solution. Make sure to follow the guide carefully to ensure that your activation is both secure and effective.

This operating system is just great and it's really worth switching to this system. I recommend this store if anyone is looking for a verified store: https://royalcdkeys.com/products/windows-11-pro-retail-cd-key
