I disabled my TPM in BIOS so Windows would never upgrade
Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

I’m so glad I’m stuck with a “your hardware doesn’t support windows 11” message.

I think this is a pretty big deal and they are shooting themselves in the foot with these unnecessary restrictions.

Same, out of curiosity, I checked my system for that and got the message.
Even if I didn't, I'm not going to sit around all day as 64GB of "required" stora- oh I mean bloatware to install on my system.
Windows used to function fine with 2GB of storage. It does NOT need 64GB and Microsoft can get fucked.

Just disable TPM in your BIOS if you have that option. Win 11 needs modern TPM so it won’t upgrade you if you don’t have one.

“Needs” lol
It’s just in there to sell more hardware. Afaik, 11 does nothing that actually requires the newer tpm.

Yeah people who really wanted 11 back in the beginning found an easy process to bypass the check during the install. 11 works fine without it.

If you make the bootable USB drive with Rufus, a little window pops up asking if you wanna remove some of the bullshit, such as TPM and secure boot requirements.
