Microsoft Patches Vulnerability That Allows Older PCs to Install Windows 11



One of the requirements of a PC to use the Microsoft Windows 11 operating system is a chip in modern CPUs called Trusted Platform Module 2.0. In short, this chip is needed to ensure that the computer running the operating system remains secure and not easy to hack.


However, so far there have been several ways for users to avoid the need for the TPM 2.0 chip and install the latest Microsoft operating system on their outdated computers, such as those powered by AMD Phenom or Intel Core2Duo processing chips.


Recently, through the latest Windows 11 Canary Build update, apart from the introduction of new power mode settings and an update to the FAT32 file system, Microsoft also seems to have patched this "vulnerability" and seems to force all users to upgrade their computers.


This means that if this update is introduced in the next official Windows 11 update, those using computers with older components will be forced to at least upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 2000 or 8th generation Intel Core CPU.


For so long, the method used to avoid the scan of TPM 2.0 requirements and the amount of RAM is to use the /product server command in the Command Prompt program when installing this operating system on a computer.


As said before, this update was only introduced through Canary Build in the Windows Insider program only so far. Whether it will be introduced when the big update of Windows 11 is shown later is not yet known.
