I just checked, TPM 2.0 is apparently still required because it was the only thing preventing me from being able to upgrade and Windows update is still telling me I'm not eligible.

It's not a part of Windows, its from a 3rd party, it's a program that monitors my email account and tells me when I have hew email waiting.

I'm absolutely certain that the initial TPM requirement was for 2.0, but I seem to remember that they dropped that down to one point something. Running the "can I upgrade" checker if the Windows Update pane of Update & Security settings isn't already telling you that you cannot update is worth doing, as it will identify issues that may be preventing you from updating that can be remedied without the need for new hardware. Someone just recently posted, but I'm not sure if it was on this group, about getting a message that they needed to update BIOS (and you really should update BIOS any time you're notified that an update is available. Most BIOS updates these days are about security patches and unlike in the "bad old days" when manual flashing of BIOS was necessary and often subject to failure, the modern executable packages are a cinch to kick off and let them do the rest.) -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

That's a very good point, I should start getting into the habit of defining my system for that reason.

In my case it is Windows 10. Unless I buy a new computer I can't upgrade to Windows 11 because it requires TPM 2.0 and my system has TPM 1.2. I've seen several reports that say that there's nothing compelling enough in Windows 11 to justify buying a new computer just to be able to run it. So for now, it's Windows 10 for me. Gene...

Hi Gene,
I've never tried rearranging the system tray icons using
drag and drop, but heere's how you do it in Windows 10 a didifferent
way.
Use the steps below after going to the following:
Settings / System / Personalization / Taskbar category.
In the, Taskbar category, set your Settings and their state as listed below and you can change them back after you are done rearranging the icons, but I would only turn the, Lock the Taskbar, button off and leave the rest of the settings alone: Lock the Taskbar button, is On, by default. As you tab through these settings I Have all other buttons turned off These next 2 options I have set as follows. Taskbar location on screen Combo box, Bottom Taskbar location on screen Combine taskbar buttons, Never Here's how I rearrange the system tray icons running Windows 10 Pro Version 1809 (OS Build 17763.379) & all newer versions with all installed versions of Jaws. 1. Windows key + I, for Settings, tab 1 time to System, right arrow to Personalization, and press enter. 2. Navigate to, Taskbar and press enter. 3. Tab several times to, Show Badges on Taskbar..., and make sure this is, Off / unchecked. 4. Tab a few times to, Notification Area, Select which icons appear on the taskbar Link, and press enter. 5. Okay now to put the System Tray in the order you want it in. Tab through all the icons making a note of which ones you have checked / turned on because you're going to uncheck all of them. 6. Uncheck all the icons. Now you will go through and check the icons in the reverse order you want them in because , the 1st one yu check will be at the bottom of the list, the 2nd will be 2nd from the bottom, the 3rd will be 3rd from the bottom etc. etc.... After you're done open the system tray to make sure it's the way you want it and Alt + F4 if it is, there's not an Okay button. Note: If you have the Action Center showing in the system tray I don't know of any way to get that to show anywhere else except at the bottom. Rearranging the icons using the steps above will put them in the order you want them, but they'll all be above the Action Center. Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. ----- Original Message -----

Here's a tip that may not be so obvious.
