That tells me they don’t really expect to be able to enforce TPM security upon their user base.

- schemescape 3y agoThanks! I hadn’t seen that before. My CPU also isn’t on the supported CPU list—-that’s probably the more concerning one now that I think about it (in case they compile assuming instructions my CPU doesn’t support or something).
- G3rn0ti 3y agoIf you really want to upgrade, just try it out. Don't worry. MS' CPU requirements are somewhat arbitrary (presumably they want them to include spectre/meltdown mitigations) but they are not strictly enforcing the rules. This is probably just to protect them from lawsuits. So far nobody reported, they were not receiving any more updates bc of their CPU. I also recently watched a nice explanation of how to install/upgrade Windows 11 on a non-supported machine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL_maCWM5bk&pp=ygUTZXhwbGFpbmluZ2NvbXB1dGVycw%3D%3D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL_maCWM5bk&pp=ygUTZXhwbGFpb...
