The tool will only run correctly on Win7 . . . wherein it tells you not to be a dolt and upgrade at all.

Thanks,
it confirms what I suspected with my CrapBookPro (and presumably @chris-maunder 's latop as well). TPM missing/disabled. IIRC Apple uses its own crypto chip for macos, which makes me wonder if they've bothered to emulate TPM or provide an option to enable the chipset's soft TPM or just decided they couldn't be ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing bothered to do more than the bare minimum for bootcamp support. The wretched power management on their hardware in windows makes me fear the latter.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The MSI tool quickly let me know that my processor is not supported. I took my chances and ran the other tool which showed all green except the processor. (amber with a question mark?)
This is a 3 y/o Lenovo desktop with an AMD A12-9800 Radeon R7. This is the first time ever that a processor is incompatible with an MS upgrade. Hopefully you are correct in that the MSI tool is buggy/incomplete. 
Personally, I'm fine with Win10, and was even better with Win7. I only need it to install on a test system so I can certify our desktop apps.

When it first came out, I just booted the ISO from a Hyper-V Gen1 VM without giving any second thought. The host doesn't have any of that crap enabled either. Seems to work fine.
I haven't tried to install it on the bare metal, but then, I do everything in VMs nowadays. My primary host OS is still 2012 R2.

According to what I have read, Hyper-V emulates TPM for VMs running under it. Your experience strongly suggests that it can do this even if the host doesn't have the hardware and/or doesn't have it enabled.

Gen-2 Hyper-V VMs offer a lot more options when it comes to these settings, so I'm of the opposite mind - older VMs don't have any of these options. Maybe these extra checks simply aren't present in that leaked build.

Secure boot must be enabled I think.

I strongly suspect that a LOT of folks will just stay in win10, and you know what?
I think ms will be more than happy with that, because I've had this feeling for a long time now, that they are trying to leave the general consumer market behind and just concentrate on the enterprise, where most of their money comes from.
I could type more as to why I think this, but this damn droid tablet is giving me wrist cramp 😀
In a nutshell though, they are not going after sites like the-eye.eu for hosting made mirrors, not are they trying to stop the sheer amount of folks that are now writing offline kms services allowing you to with pretty much any key you want, in short they pretty much have given up on enforcing win 10 piracy, unless it's huge scale.

I was looking at the privacy policy of the vendor the IRS is now using, and it mentions these things:

They should be forced to add a button above the 'I accept' button labelled, " us, our corporate board, CEO, and any others who were involved in the creation of these never-ending terms" (or something to that effect). Then be forced to report on the page the button clicks per button.

I can only speak for myself, but when you have to use an anagram solver to find a word you never heard of before, it kind of feels like you don't deserve to win.
