Microsoft has released Windows 11 on Oct 5, 2021. Those with a recent purchase of a Desktop and Laptop might have all the requirements to upgrade to Windows 11 for free. Older Desktops and Laptops might not be able to upgrade. One of the main reasons might be because of the *Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 requirement.

Newer Motherboards will have the TMP Chip onboard with no need to purchase a TMP V2.0 Chip
