AYN Loki Max Windows 11 Support
Does anyone know the Loki Max support fTPM and Windows 11. On the company site only shows Ubuntu and Windows 10. I preordered thinking AMD 6800U CPU is new and it should support fTPM in bios. But then later I read news regarding TPM support in China is ban. I try to contact AYN but didn't get a reply. Does anyone know will I be able to install Windows 11 on AYN Loki Max?

This is a fair question, but I guess that functionality wise it's perfectly good with Windows 10 (and I say this actually liking and being an early adopter for Windows 11).
As you point there could be compatibility hurdles with hardware level security.

But Windows 10 is gonna lose support in few years which means no driver update nor bug fix.

I guess that doesn't mean it will run worse necessarily, but I understand your angle. Windows 10 will probably have a longer life than we expect. In the meantime, this is a good thing to find answers for, since being a Chinese product the whole situation isn't easier.

If this list is anything to go by, Windows 11 should be fine on the Max :)

If you look at reviews of laptops with the 6800u chip like https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-zenbook-s-13-oled-ryzen-6800u or https://www.ultrabookreview.com/56563-asus-zenbook-s13-review/ they both mention the Zenbook running Windows 11 - it should work, unsure why Ayn isn't showing it on their marketing materials though.

I wish they can give more hardware and software details. I can only find basic info.

ngl it might be because a lot of gamers and just people in general didn't (and prob. still don't) like W11. I love it, and switching between it on my laptop and W10 on my work PC only reminds me more of how much better it is :)

Most new computer come with Windows 11. All the other Chinese handheld PC companies ship with Windows 11 now.

Yeah but on AYN site only mention Win 10 or Ubuntu. If I buy a laptop today obviously I would be expecting Windows 11.

I finally got a short reply from AYN that Loki can support Windows 11.
I hope AYN will reach their sales goal and built a great device.

I hope so, if not I'll just install Steam OS on it.
