Laptop. He has a laptop. But, even if he had a TPM on a higher end Intel 6th and 7th gen Core i7, Win11 still wouldn't install without workaround.

    6th and 7th gen have firmware based TPM that Intel calls PTT. (Though whether it's available to configure in the BIOS depends on the manufacturer and sometimes the chipset.) But correct, it still needs a workaround because TPM isn't really the (only) thing it's checking for.
