  It legit could be. When Win10 support ends you have three options:

  1. Buy a new PC with the required TPM chip.
  2. Bypass the check in the Win11 installer and hope the OS functions properly after install and going forward.
  3. Install a fully supported Linux that’s optimized for older hardware.

  None of those three options are easy, and Linux is the only option that’s free and guaranteed to work.

    Personally, mine has TPM but Windows is complaining that it didn’t give itself enough space in the bootloader to upgrade itself to 11 and this is somehow my fault. I’m debating whether I’ll bother to try troubleshooting it when 10 goes EOL or just move my gaming PC to linux. I do like having at least one Windows machine around for compatibility but it’s getting too annoying to get caught up.

    I’ve been using linux on my laptops and tablets for years so it wouldn’t be a huge hurdle for me to switch.
