As windows 11 is coming and it requires secure boot to be enabled
I have a Dell optiplex 790 on bios revision a13 and it doesn't support secure boot so I wanted to know if I update the bios to the a21 revision (latest version) will it add secure boot support
Ps: I already have the minimum hardware specs
I'm running on a gpt uefi drive and have tpm enabled
@amiribrahim The list below shows the only Dell OptiPlex PCs that meet the specs for Windows 11. You'll need an 8th gen. Intel processor (e.g. i7-8700) or better for Windows 11 or similar gen. AMD processor.
OptiPlex
The following list of Dell OptiPlex computers that have been tested for upgrade to Windows 11. If your computer model is not listed, Dell is not testing the device, and drivers have not been updated for that model.
Hi, My CPU is i5-2400 Intel @ 3.10 Ghz. Then I have the Nvidia Ge force GT 710 and a Samsung SSD 500 evo. Someone this morning in Facebook said that I could install the Insiders Dev windows 11, and so I did. In the link I gave there is a cheat that they do replacing a .dll It works.
@Nikos Maraslis Advance, Windows Insider, versions of Win 11 are able to run on older hardware. But Microsoft is still sticking with Intel 8th gen. CPU or newer when they formally release Windows 11, at which point all Windows Insider pre-release versions running on unsupported hardware will cease to work. Microsoft may vary the requirements - they are evaluating the operation of Windows 11 in the Dev. Channel running on Intel 7th gen. and AMD Ryzen 1st gen. CPUs and may include these in the final approved hardware specification. Processors below these have been ruled out.
