You can still get win 11 without TPM by using Rufus and bypassing TPM which will have to be done for a lot of old PCs and we will have to do it by October this year.

So I can’t play battlefield without TPM? I hate tech these days. My Ryzen board doesnt have it. Hence why I’m not on windows 11

Why would you install Windows 11on a computer? What happens if you don’t do it before October?

Microsoft will be releasing custom viruses that only infect 10.

Your computer will gradually get more and more filled with security holes that will be problematic to patch. Eventually, programs will stop supporting it as well.

Didn’t Microsoft stop this in a recent-ish update? I remember trying it on a machine without TPM and it just didn’t work.
Bazzite worked fine though (after some headaches setting it up).

Does this disable updates though? My wife somehow had Win11 installed on her pc without enabling secure boot, and her updates got so far behind that now it refuses to update and needs to be reinstalled.

No it doesn’t, but I’ll try putting it on one of my older PCs again and report back I only use Linux

you will own nothing and be happy

I just refuse to enable it. It makes changing things a hassle.
Psythik@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Same. Keeps things simple with Linux and, Windows doesn’t even complain about it being disabled, so long as it’s present. I’ll never understand this requirement.

So they can have an excuse to force you to upgrade to Windows 11 beyond “whoops, turns out making an operating system as a ‘buy once’ product is a bad idea.”
Psythik@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Joke’s on them; I already upgraded to Windows 11. I was among the first. It’s actually a solid OS once you disable all the ads and telemetry with O&O Shut Up 10.

Might be a requirement in some companies for security reasons…?
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s understandable for companies. But for a home user…reasoning is pretty minimal.
