Today marks an exciting milestone in the history of Windows. As the day becomes October 5 in each time zone around the world, availability of Windows 11 begins through a free upgrade on eligible Windows 10 PCs and on new PCs pre-installed with Windows 11 that can be purchased beginning today.

Not really unexpected but I will keep an eye on the news about this.

Why Microsoft Is So Hell-Bent On Windows 11 TPM And Cloud Security Requirements

article - https://hothardware.com/news/why-microsoft-is-so-keen-on-windows-11-tpm-20-and-vbs-support

On my PC:

Really Microsoft? When I was building my machine a few years ago, I very specifically had a TPM 2.0 chip as a requirement on the motherboard since it was not standard at the time and I wanted it. I am pretty sure I am not missing any CPU features unless I am missing something.

I know there is still ways to force a fresh install but it's looking like that might not be a good long-term solution.

If anyone needs an ISO for a fresh build, Microsoft is making that available just like with Windows 10:

Especially for gaming, you may want to consider turning off some of the new enabled-by-default security features if you cannot afford the ~5% performance drop:

Various videos - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Windows+11+IoT+Enterprise+LTSC

So I have seen some discussions and a few videos talking about Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. Supposedly it is out-of-the-box significantly debloated which would remove the need for unattend install scripts or the various sometimes-sketchy debloating programs/scripts.

I'm not sure if I'm going to try it, the licensing element is a real problem (without resorting to massgrave or similar), but it's interesting.
