I confirm zero chance I will be switching to Win11, no matter the hardware they support.
As soon as Win10 dies the death of falling out of support I will ditch Windows for home use.
For now I am sticking with Windows 10. I think Microsoft will be forced to provide at least another ~2 years of security updates, if not more.
There are hundreds of millions of completely functional, actively used computers that don't support TPM 2.0, it would be stupid to get rid of them just because a corrupt, monopolist like MS says we should.
I put together a PC a few years ago and noticed that slot, I don't even know what TPM does. Should I?
