skyfire Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Most of the gaming laptop companies like ASUS, MSI and few others are releasing their hardware list which shows post December 2020 machines being accepted for the Windows 11 upgrade. They are not clear if earlier machine can install windows 11 etc. Anyone eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade on their gaming laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 There is a tool that checks for the upgrade criteria. I think most of the Post 2019 laptops and the devices are eligible. The below tool shows you if your machine is eligible. Lot of small checks included in it. https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I say most companies like Asus, MSI and Acer are just as shocked and news to them when microsoft announced regards to windows 111. Most low end budget cost Laptops won't able to run it 😞 THEN AGAIN - On my 4 year old Laptop, Just only one yellow mark 🙂 That's since the CPU is not even listed or tested yet LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 What is your CPU? I am surprised if everything is compatible and this is not listed as compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 If I remember your laptop is in FX705 series of ASUS right? So yeah it is going to get the free upgrade too if I read their notice on the new upgrade recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 I am sure the post 2018 machines do have the TDM or the PTT module which intel and AMD both have it on their laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I haven't really checked as yet if I'm being honest. I normally just give it a year or two after official release so that Microsoft can address all major issues with their OP before I'll upgrade.

I am going to install it after the december so going to hold the upgrade as long as possible. The reason being it'd take 1 update to mature that operating system with reduced bugs.

Yes, Asus had them in since 2015 😉 REgards other brands it's can be mixed. But for the last 5 years or less they should all have them other then budjet and small ATX boards.

Demon_skeith Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Mine will run it, though I have no desire to upgrade at least a few years until it gets out of its pre-beta state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sentiments exactly, having owned several iterations of Windows, there's always major issues within the first year or two of release so I'm just going to wait until they've addressed those major issues.

skyfire Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 I think if windows is forcing the upgrade that's reasonable too. Like you can't expect windows to be like linux and have it running on 20 year old machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
