Dimension 9200, out of luck for Windows 11
Hello,
This may have been discussed many occasions before, but I could not find a definite answer.
Dimension 9200/DXP061
Intel Core 2CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz
RAM 8GB
AHCI BIOS 2.5.3
Running Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS build 19042.985) Professional.
I do not think it has TPM v2.0.
Are we with this set up run out of luck to install the forthcoming Win 11
Or one could get TPM updated to v2.0 to enable install Win 11 (when officially it is released)?
Thanking you

"Dimension 9200/DXP061" a very very very old machine will run 10 but wont run 11 due to not meeting bare minimum ground floor for windows 11.
Installing Ubuntu 20.04.2 alongside windows 10 will give you an upgrade path past 2025.

I hardly think they can release an OS upgrade as big as this and than deny millions an upgrade. There might be workarounds. Though considering it's an outdated chipset I would recommend to wait for at least 2-3 quality updates. In same old Microsoft tradition It was and will be buggy in the beginning.

Agreed that the final system requirements may be quite different from what is reported on at this time. But forgetting about TPM, you have a 14 year old system with a CPU that came well before the MS spec of 8th generation and newer for Windows 11. There may be workarounds for TPM but if MS holds tight to their CPU specs then that may be a deal breaker for old systems such as yours. But RTM is still some ways off so the final system requirements are still up in the air.

Hello there
A lot of changes have happened since my posting and my Dimension 9200 is still going great.
Ubuntu OS was mentioned as an alternative after the deadline from MS security updates for Windows 10.....
I don't want to just throw away while it is doing what I need to do so long as I am safe to surf the net and access my bank account.
Would Ubuntu will provide security updates? @speedstep Speedstep
What is the latest Ubuntu version that I could install on this desktop?
Thank you for your opinions
