I always find these comments hilarious, because at some point Windows 10 will no longer have any security support. It certainly won't come as OEM with new hardware.
This is not a big deal. Most laptops have TPM 2.0, and most motherboards can have a dTPM accessory if they don't have it onboard.
Windows 11, has a lot of useful things, which 10 did not, for example DoH in the system resolver and a variety of other security benefits.
It's literally like people complaining if Windows doesn't work on old-BIOS only computers, it's not going to make much difference as nobody has those. If they do have those then a cut down Linux OS makes more sense as those devices likely won't have much RAM either to run a modern browser etc.
- akikoo 2y agoDo you also find it hilarious that Microsoft is making completely fine working CPUs on millions of computers unusable for Windows 11 ?
- dngray 2y agoThey will always need to strengthen requirements to strengthen security. In the past Microsoft has too heavily aimed for compatibility at the cost of security. This was pretty much their thing in the Windows XP days and everyone laughed at all the ways they screwed up. There seems to be a clear focus on attestation and preventing persistent malware from taking root in a system's boot chain and potentially firmware. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/hardware-security/tpm/how-windows-uses-the-tpm https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/hardware-...
- pcdoodle 2y agoSome of us find people like you hilarious. We prefer a car that feels nice to drive. New one is safer but darn, it's no longer a car to me.
- tmdh 2y agoSo, I should abandon my laptop that I bought in 2017 and buy a new one???
- ErikBjare 2y agoI've only been bitten by the TPM stuff when trying to run Windows in a VM, but annoying (and seemingly pointless in that particular case).
- hulitu 2y ago> because at some point Windows 10 will no longer have any security support. Just FYI, Windows never had any security "support". The fact that Microsoft releases some security patches, is just a fact. With Windows you, as an individual, were always on your own regarding security.
