Windows 11 is free, but you can't upgrade your new system without it

Windows11的发布对于许多忠实于windows的用户来说是一件令人振奋的事情。

The release of windows 11 is a cheering thing for many windows loyal users.

但就在人们高喊"了不起"的时候，现实却迎面而来："你的电脑不能运行Windows11。"。

But just as people were shouting "amazing", reality hit them head-on: "your computer can't run Windows 11.".

TPM（trusted platform module，可信平台模块）是微软为保证windows系统安全而推出的硬件芯片。早在2011年，它就与多家PC厂商合作，在电脑中嵌入TPM芯片。不过，当时TPM还是1.2版，开始逐步普及，直到2016年2.0版。

TPM (trusted platform module) is a hardware chip promoted by Microsoft in order to ensure the security of windows. As early as 2011, it cooperated with a number of PC manufacturers to embed TPM chips in computers. However, at that time, TPM was still version 1.2, and it began to be popularized gradually until version 2.0 in 2016.

比如比较常见的DIY电脑主机，虽然MSI等主板厂商都内置了TPM，但他们必须进入主板BIOS才能启用它。

For example, the more common DIY computer host, although motherboard manufacturers such as MSI have built-in TPM, they have to enter the motherboard BIOS to enable it.

虽然操作并不复杂，但各个电脑厂商打开BIOS的方式各不相同，对于普通用户来说相当复杂。使用和升级的成本增加了很多。

Although the operation is not complicated, various computer manufacturers have different ways of opening BIOS, which is quite complicated for ordinary users. The cost of using and upgrading has increased a lot.

这里还有一个简单的方法来检查计算机是否配备了TPM 2.0。以最常见的windows10家庭版系统为例，按windows键和R键打开运行功能，进入"TPM"。MSc"确认。进入TPM界面。

Here is also a simple way to check whether the computer is equipped with TPM 2.0. Take the most common windows 10 home edition system as an example, press the windows key and R key to open the running function, and enter "TPM. MSc" to confirm. Then you can enter the TPM interface.

windows11系统对TPM芯片的强制性要求，一时间刺激了人们对该芯片的需求，也导致了多平台TPM芯片价格的上涨。一位用户在twitter上发布消息称，芯片价格在12小时内上涨了好几倍，从24.9美元涨到99美元。

The mandatory requirement of windows 11 system for TPM chip has stimulated people's demand for this chip for a time, which has also led to the rise in the price of TPM chip on multiple platforms. A user posted on twitter that the chip price has increased several times in 12 hours, from $24.9 to $99.

在Windows11正式发布之前，TPM芯片的价格被炒得沸沸扬扬，多少有些荒唐。

Before windows 11 was officially released, the price of TPM chip was fried, which was more or less ridiculous.

T2和TPM具有类似的引导保护。安装认证的Mac OS系统后，Mac将正常启动。同时，T2会对电脑硬盘上的数据进行加密，即使数据被删除，其他人也无法读取。

T2 and TPM have similar boot protection. Mac will boot normally after installing the certified Mac OS system. At the same time, T2 will encrypt the data on the computer hard disk, which can't be read by other people even after it is removed.

听起来不成问题，但对二手回收商和第三方维修商来说，麻烦可大了。早些时候，一些二手回收商在twitter上抱怨说，由于苹果的T2芯片，许多用户忘记清理数据，卖掉了mac电脑，而回收商却无法访问这些电脑。

It doesn't sound like a problem, but it's a lot of trouble for second-hand recyclers and third-party repairers. Earlier, some second-hand recyclers complained on twitter that because of Apple's T2 chip, many users forgot to clear their data and sold their Macs, while recyclers couldn't access these computers.

最终的结果是，大型科技公司的产品安全标准很高，导致许多用户淘汰旧机器，购买新机器。

The final result is the high standard of product safety of big technology companies, which leads many users to eliminate their old machines and buy new ones.

安全性和产品是否应该发生冲突？答案显然不是。指纹识别是平衡体验和安全的最佳方案。密码被用作门锁，以确保用户的数据不被泄露。然而，输入和记忆密码本身是用户的负担。

Should security and product experience conflict? The answer is obviously not. Fingerprint identification is the best case to balance experience and security. Password is used as a door lock to ensure that the user's data is not leaked. However, entering and memorizing the password itself is a burden for the user.

指纹识别的出现很好地解决了这一问题。人们不必再担心忘记密码了。它的解锁和支付速度更快，而且它的安全性比单纯的密码保护要好。

The emergence of fingerprint identification solves this problem well. People don't have to worry about forgetting the password any more. It's faster to unlock and pay, and its security is better than pure password protection.

平衡产品安全和用户体验将是微软、苹果等大公司下一步要解决的问题。对于Windows11，微软还有一个缓冲期。在正式版本发布之前，我们将解决CPU兼容性以及如何降低人们的升级难度，并给出详细的升级方法。

Balancing product safety and user experience will be the next problem for Microsoft, apple and other big companies to solve. For windows 11, Microsoft still has a buffer period. Before the official version is released, we will solve CPU compatibility and how to reduce people's upgrade difficulty, and give detailed upgrade methods.

这将是一个不亚于Windows11许多新功能更新的大项目。

This will be a big project not inferior to many new function updates of windows 11.
