richardvday Unfortunately a lot of people are still using otherwise perfectly workable computers that Microsoft in its /sarcasm wisdom has decided is too old or something to that effect. Just use Linux if your system is not acceptable to Microsoft. 90% of windows games are now playable on Linux after all Reply

This is my media system I have connected to my TV and sound system in my living room. It has W11 on it because I was testing it before it came out. Once it was released my hardware wasn't officially supported, but I never got knocked off W11 and continue to get regular updates, but still if they decided to kick me out, it would make that computer have to be restored back to W10 or something else.

Y'see, the purpose of this tool is to allow the normal upgrade process to run on machines lacking a TPM 2.0 module. These are machines that are perfectly capable of running the OS, and should not have to be replaced. I'm with the others, though; just install Linux, and spend a weekend learning how to use it. Microsoft is going to continue to engage in more and more egregious anti-consumer practices while simultaneously selling every scrap of information they can harvest off of you. <Mod Edit> Reply

If you’re on AMD you can use a sub $50 chip, if you’re on intel you probably don’t need to change anything. It’s Zen+ for AMD and 8th gen for intel. Not many people are still on kaby lake or older or on Bulldozer derivations. Reply
