I assume eventually they'll drop the UEFI security requirement, which is why 90% of the "can't" cases occur.

    Uefi isn't the push, the push is tpm 2.0, which I think is a much much larger percentage of "incompatibilities". tpm allows for drm that is much harder to bypass, since the random number generator operates securely in hardware. It's for their benefit not yours.

    My Windows install is still in compatibility mode. It's the sole reason I can't upgrade to 11, not that I want to. I can't be bothered to reinstall Windows on UEFI when there's no point anyway. I'll happily stick to 10.
