Unless their hardware doesn't support it. A lot of people are going to be tossing out perfectly good systems because they don't have a TPM.

    You can bypass that requirement. The hardware is fine you just have to tell windows to ignore it.

    2 registry keys if I remember correctly.

    Windows also said they don't support it and may stop it from working at any time. I have already had a problem because Windows System Image tried to restore something as UEFI when I only had BIOS so forcing my BIOS system to something that technically only supports UEFI seems like an awful idea.

    Windows says lots of things. It is surprising how conflicting they are internally.

    The thing is, there are a lot of ways to install windows 11. You have a lot of versions to choose from and more options than you think.

    Anyways, I think it is all beating a dead horse, although you can get around windows requirements the best thing to do is not play the game.

    Switch to Linux and be done with the bullshit.
