Windows 11 TPM 2.0 And Secure Boot Requirements.
With the release of Windows 11 on the 5th of October 2021 Microsoft has mandated the use of Secure Boot capable UEFI firmware and TPM 2.0 hardware functionality. Although Microsoft pushed extensively for both the use and widescale implementation of these features in an effort to increase the security of the Windows 11 platform this move had undoubtably cased myriad of issues and controversies. Mainly the official lack of support for first generation AMD Ryzen CPU’s and issues for users dual booting operating systems.
The first iteration of AMD’s Ryzen platform debut on March 2nd 2017, while considered an older platform in breakneck and ever advancing world semiconductors; The platform is still considered modern and capable in the eyes of many users despite lacking official hardware support for Windows 11. This is primarily due to the absence of integrated TPM 2.0 functionality on the chipset and absence of discrete TPM 2.0 modules on early AM4 motherboards. TPM 2.0 functionality is provided through the use of either a discrete TPM 2.0 module which is built into a motherboard or is available as an addon chip; Integrated TPM 2.0 functionality is built into many contemporary CPU’s.
Thankfully these issues can be remedied by bypassing Windows 11’s upgrade requirement checks and can be performed through the use command line arguments and freely available software.

Yes, I am interested in getting my witness node up the ranks. Where should I create the post detailing my ambitions as a witness node operator? I'm focused around secure system architecture and networks as I'm involved within the cybersecurity industry. Love the concept behind hive as a lot of the mainstream social media platforms are very privacy invasive and content moderation isn't consistent.
