Erwin Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 As someone who uses Amazon a lot for buying and video streaming am thrilled that I get no ads - that's why it's best to stay with Win 7. Simples... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether that's a Windows thing, particularly as it was Facebook on an iPhone. Having said that and straying OT (not a first for this thread) I'm not sure my Win 10 offers much more than my Win 7 used to . And my 3 year old processor is apparently not Win 11 capable even though loads of older, far crappier ones are . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check whether your TPM is turned on in the BIOS. Sometimes called TTP in the BIOS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That CPU is not lacking anything feature-wise as far as Intel's specsheet is concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Agreed. When something like this is supported: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/207904/intel-atom-x6200fe-processor-1-5m-cache-1-00-ghz/specifications.html but an i7-6700HQ isn't, it looks a bit odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacillator Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Now that's even wierder. Maybe you and I should stick to modelling instead my friend? That's 1/72 tanks in case anyone is wondering . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeze, that is a really nice processor. It holds up well like the much older i7-4790 did/does. I wonder what it lacks? I gotta side with @Redwolf on this. I bet it's a BIOS setting. EDIT: I thought you just put an extra 9 in there. So you have an i9-9990 then? Edited January 28, 2022 by Probus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my machine: https://www.eteknix.com/novatech-reign-paladin-mkii-gaming-pc-review/ I opted for watercooling both for the main board and the GPU (2080ti Extreme).

Vacillator Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) i9-9900K appears to be on the list (unlike my CPU): See here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors Edited January 28, 2022 by Vacilllator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
