That is slightly more complicated in later updates by Microsoft, which talks about new computers to be sold retail and installed with Windows (and Microsoft has been upping the requirements for new retail computers slowly over time). They also talk about needing an Intel gen8 processor or better (although that is at least partially likely to be the case because Intel no longer supports older processors according to their support list). For existing devices to upgrade, TPM 1.2 is apparently sufficient, and it is not clear that UEFI (at all, or in Secure Boot mode) will be required, and they do say that older processors are likely to work, but they are not testing them. And it is possible for upgrades from W10 they might relax any or all of the initially stated requirements. For the early adopter builds that have been made available it seems none of the requirements are currently hard (just "recommendations"). So I am not sure that Microsoft's announcements, which seem to be somewhat fluid, should drive Fedora's decisions. Personally, if DUET (or equivalent) worked (and I have not tried it) that would work for me with my few remaining legacy BIOS only boxes; _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
