Comment on Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?

  Not really, the only saltines comes from OPs tears all over this post.

  It’s just so fun seeing how OP is faced with either having an unsecure system or having to pay to replace his otherwise perfectly capable machine, but still has so much loyalty to Microsoft (or he’s in extreme denial) that he’s throwing shit at everybody,even those who just explain Microsoft won’t drop the requirement.

  But it’s ok, my non TPM machines will continue to work for years, always up to date. And when 12 rises the requirements yet again I’ll laugh at all the people crying that a trillion dollars company isn’t hearing them.

    As someone mentioned in the comments, non TPM machines can have W11 on them and it will most likely work just fine so that’s pretty much a non issue…

      Both AMD and Intel bake a hardware TPM into their CPUs IIRC. I think Windows 11 complains more about Secure Boot not being enabled on my PC than the TPM.

      You can tinker your way around it, and hope Microsoft doesn’t change anything that breaks the workaround. Doesn’t make OPs less funny.

      Serious question: what are the actual application in our day-to-day use?
