Guy built custom computer but ran Windows 10 on a MBR disk with legacy boot (BIOS/CSM) and TPM disabled. Ran 11 compatibility check and was surprised that Windows 11 won't work with that.

Also advocating that MS sells a version that relaxes this requirement (AFAIK - Windows will run on the system anyway but support people may* turn you away and your system will be less secure). For reference, the insider preview build works just fine on my 7700k system with TPM disabled.

Apparently the insider preview builds have somewhat relaxed requirements, may not be representative of the final product.

I've been running internal builds but you're correct in that they can still make changes to requirement before public release.

Opening it in politics mode (previously known as porn mode) works fine.
