Comment on I can't upgrade to Windows 11, now leave me alone

I get the frustration, but at this point, Windows 10 is no longer supported and the push to get people off of it is partially related to the inevitable flood of hacking that follows an OS deprecation. Vulnerabilities are immediately exploitable for any user still on the old OS.
M$ is evil, and Windows 11 sucks, but running an unsupported OS carries real risk. I agree that there should be some way to finalize the decision to keep using it and to waive liability for M$, but of course they’re motivated to get you to switch. There are means of bypassing the hardware requirements. There are also some very well-supported and user friendly Linux options.
Win 10 is ten years old. It’s time to let it go.

Microsoft could be massively less dickish and drop the requirement for TPM 2.0. It doesn’t do anything notable and that one decision would change OP’s experience from ‘stop pestering me to switch if you won’t even let me switch’ to ‘I guess I’ll press the button’.

I think they may benefit from relaxing their hardware requirements across the board in a cost of living crisis. The CPU list — no rules to determine if your CPU is valid, there’s just a list of acceptable ones — is particularly hostile imo.
