Microsoft releases Windows 11 Insider Preview, attempts to defend labyrinth of hardware requirements

Copy Updated Microsoft on Monday released its first Windows 11 Insider Preview build (22000.51) to its Dev channel. It also took the opportunity to tackle head on the criticism it faced over the operating system s tough hardware requirements. A Microsoft document [PDF] released last week details the hardware requirements for Windows 11. It states TPM 2.0 support is required: All device models, lines or series must implement and be in compliance with the International Standard ISO/IE C 11889:2015 or the Trusted Computing Group TPM 2.0 Library and a component which implements the TPM 2.0 must be present and enabled by default. At the same time, some hardware makers will be exempt from that requirement though only with Microsoft s permission. Upon approval from Microsoft, OEM systems for special purpose commercial systems, custom order, and customer systems with a custom image are not required to ship with a TPM support enabled, the document stated.
