Has anyone been able to update to windows 11 yet through updates? It's not showing up for me. I thought it was suppose to launch today.

First, know that it might not be available for your computer just yet.
Microsoft is offering Windows 11 to newer PCs with Windows 10 installed. It will use data to figure out when other PCs will get the upgrade. This is similar to how Microsoft has determined which devices received Windows 10 features updates for the past few years

The PC Health Check app claims Windows 11 doesn't support my CPU.
It's an i7 I got in 2015 and still runs great. No way I'm getting a new laptop just so I can run Windows 11.

It's Windows 10 with a much worse taskbar. You aren't missing anything.

Agreed that the taskbar is dumb.

My i76700k PC with 16 gigs of ram doesnt make the cut because of the processor. pretty odd.

Not real excited about it either.

Just installed Windows 11. It's different, and will take awhile to evaluate. It runs everything I need it to, so it seems to be all good.

This TPM 2.0 requirement is a mess. I built a $4k PC last year with B550, Ryzen 9 3900, 6800XT and it keeps telling me my PC is incompatible.
Went into Bios, turned on the AMD TPM setting, and it won't recognize it.

I assume your MB actually has a TPM if you can turn it on in BIOS? Otherwise I assume there's a bug of some kind in the Windows PC Health Check. There's a new version as of a couple of weeks ago that apparently fixed some stuff so if you downloaded before Sep 21 or so, maybe try again.
My 2018 build with a Gigabyte Z370 MB has a header for it but I don't have the actual module yet so of course wasn't able to enable in BIOS. Ordered one when I finally found a compatible 9 pin version for a normal price instead of the price gouging BS that's mostly out there.

Solved my issue late last night by updating my bios. As soon as I booted back up it said I was windows 11 compatible. So weird.

What I am reading is that the cut-off is the 8th Gen Intel CPUs. I have a 7th Gen i7 myself and I don't this the office is going to buy me a new laptop anytime soon...

This is just a support thing for M$. My processor does not struggle on any daily tasks despite being old as frick. I doubt W11 would bog it down, they just don't want to make Windows support older hardware.

yep bullshite. i have no bios upgrade path for the 2012 Alienware Aurora i7 that until 3 weeks ago was running my plex server just fine. i wasn't even technically supposed to get Windows 10 on it but I worked around some major issues and its been mostly trouble free for the last 6-7 years.
*sigh*

I have an older PC running great on Windows 10; if it's ain't broke, don't fix it.

I’m in the same boat but with 32 gigs. I read on some site they they may drop it down to 6th gen processors, and another that said probably only 7th gen. They were older articles though.
I put it on a newer one I have and I can also agree that for normal users it is windows 10 with a f’d up start menu.

The 8th gen and up requirements for Windows 11 are due to the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities that came out a few years ago.
Exploiting these vulnerabilities rely on inherent hardware design flaws in the microarchitecture of the CPU.
Intel 8th gen also had some of these vulnerabilities but apparently had better mitigation from Intel.

I've installed it on a few machines here at the house. It's all right. I tried it on mine, but I'm not a fan of Windows anything. I put FreeBSD back on my laptop because it does what I want it to do, and it's a lot faster.
