Comment on Microsoft Will Charge for Windows 10 Security Updates in 2025
Broax@lemmy.world 11 months agoAlthough I generally agree with the sentiment the problem here is that most computers can’t be upgraded to windows 11 and that pretty much never happened before.

Doubt that most cannot run W11. Unless you have a CPU before 2018 you should have TPM 2.0 and if you do not, you can bypass that requirement with 1 reg value.

I’m still rocking an i7-4790K from 2016 with a 3070Ti. There isn’t a game or program or VR game I’ve thrown at it that doesn’t work properly.
But I can’t upgrade to Win11 because no TPM 2.0

Googled a bit, not 100% sure but seems that CPU does not seem to have TPM at all so kind of out of luck. Motherboard does not have it either? In theory you could add it, no idea about cost.
Have never tested, but I remember there being methods to install W11 to any HW. No idea if afterwards everything works as expected, maybe give it a read and test in VM first.
