Microsoft has announced that sometime in the next 6 months Windows 11 will be released.
I can’t help but wonder how this will affect D3, for those who choose to upgrade or those who don’t.
Unless you have a DIY PC, which most likely won’t have a TPM2.0 module, in which case you are SOL.
Why would it affect D3 unless Windows 11 is made to be not backward compatible with Windows 10 and making it absolutely pointless to get Windows 11 because nothing will run on it
my guess is that nothing will change…
or perhaps their new direct drive access will improve GR loading speed by 0.3 seconds or something minor like that, at best…
although they do mention some HDR/graphic thing that I do not quite understand at this time (starting new job at EA Games in 2 weeks… so maybe I will need to understand soon! 
) , but seems to boast some automatic graphic improvements… whatever it is… I suspect it is nice rendering at higher resolution than provided by game engine though, and since I already run Diablo at max res already, that would be no change.
Steve, I suspect this total hateful ignorance is quite common.
But anyway, let me assert for others, that you couldn’t be further from the truth.
Small anecdote that could make you chuckle by comparison. Not only it will be 100% compatible with Windows 10 but it will also natively run Android app! 
Hey… Come to think of it, it might even run Diablo: Immortal?
That’s something to keep an eye on!
Well I just ran the check on my 1.5 year old system with W10 and it will not run W11, at least W10 will be supported until 10/2025.
This was my concern as well. (Haven’t tested my 5-year old rig yet — Guess I’ll do that shortly).
The other reason I posted this thread was merely to let players know of the change coming.
Sounds like you went on the cheap end of your computer system, especially since you can’t use it with a 2019 computer.
It has nothing to do with cheapness. Most DIY computers lack the TPM module that is required for Windows 11.
interesting…
Windows 11 has not even be released to beta tester yet, so I wonder how you know that?
I haven’t heard of the compatibility checker tool either! 
But that would be annoying indeed if one cant update… I’ll be annoyed 
[edit] never mind found a page that talks about it…
gonna check my system when I get home! I hope I pass…

Well, I plan on keeping my current rig for another 2 to 5 years.
Until then, the verdict is in (for my rig):
Use the #2 link I provided in the OP. Scroll down near the bottom of the page until you see the blue banner that says “Check for compatibility”. Download, install and run the app.
(I see you found it).
Here is another article about the TPM requirement:
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-11-tpm-enable-bios-uefi
If you have an intel machine, you can go into your BIOS and see if you have PTT available (Platform Trust Technology), which is a firmware TPM. Enable it, and your computer should be compatible with Windows 11.
AMD systems probably have a similar option.
Thank you! That worked for me.
Unfortunately, the Windows PC Health Check (Compatibility) App still says my rig won’t run Windows 11. I don’t understand this because my rig surpasses, not only the minimum requirements but, the recommended requirements.
That is very puzzling…
Windows 11 has not even be released to beta tester yet…
There might be some polish needed (and coming?) on that particular front, obviously…
I meet all the requirements for Windows 11 except my processor. I have the Intel i7-6700K, which is not on the list of supported processors. 
Why do I have a feeling the Microsoft will get a lot of negative feedback when a huge group of folks can’t upgrade.
Yeah I note that the computer I just built 4 months ago has an optional 14 pin header for a TPM module sold for 34.95. If I want to upgrade to win 11 I’ll have to install it and activate it in the BIOS.
Or they may not have enabled TPM. As long as your MB supports 1.2 you should be fine as long as you meet the other system requirements.
Who cares. It will only be used by early adopters at first than as 2.0 becomes standard it will become mainstream. It’s not like anyone needs to use Win11 right now.
