Soooo, this TPM bullshit
Sucks, my MOBO is 'too old' even though all the specs are 10x what Win11 needs, . . . and it even HAS a TPM header to plug in a module. But Asus uses that internally and doesn't vend the module for consumers. Last edited by Baby Lee; 06-25-2021 at 05:12 PM.. |

I just added some ram to my dad's laptop. The task manager says that there are two available slots. When I opened it up it only had one slot. There is a space for an additional slot but there aren't anything there. Is that unusual?

Occasionally a laptop will have 1 "slot" which is a RAM module soldered onto the motherboard, along with 1 additional slot that is user accessible. You can only add to the user accessible slot.

Yeah, but this one says that only one slot of two is in use. The slot that I can access already has a stick in it so unless one of the two (potential) sticks is faulty something doesn't add up. Update: i was reading while i typed this. There is a thread on the hp help site where someone says that models with a certain processor actually only have one slot even though it says it has two. They claim that it is because different models use the same motherboard but have different processors. Who knows? Either way he went from 4 to 8 so there is still a noticeable improvement. |

So the fact they are (windows 11) forcing the issue is major when it comes to supply. Because right now there shit all when it comes to laptops/desktops supply. Windows 11 is already shaping up to be a disaster. |

Otherwise, you are fine for 4 more years with Win10 as far as support (security patches). Last edited by eDave; 06-28-2021 at 06:53 PM.. |
