Microsoft to Ban Unsupported Machines from Windows 11 Updates
With pre-release builds of Microsoft's upcoming operating system, Windows 11, doing rounds, the PC enthusiast community has developed various workarounds to the system requirement of a hardware trusted-platform module 2.0 (TPM 2.0) for the operating system. Microsoft itself also suggested that those on older machines (without TPMs), who cannot upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11, have the option of performing a clean-installation of the new operating system using its ISO installer disk image.
These machines, however, will be treated as "unsupported," will not have access to Windows Update, and may potentially be barred from receiving important security updates. Microsoft recommends, however, that those who don't meet the system requirements of Windows 11 remain on Windows 10. The company plans to maintain support for Windows 10 up to October 14, 2025, which means four more years of security updates for the older operating system. The choice, hence, would be between upgrading hardware to meet Windows 11 requirements, or to remain on Windows 10 until Q4-2025.

lol yeah I use win-7 daily on a few machines and the sky has not fallen and the world hasn't ended as so many have said it will :laugh:

nothing is eaten as hot as it has been cooked....
I looked through my systems, and NONE of them are supported under MSW11. My work laptop could, but that runs Linux as is right and proper.
So MSW10 is supported up through late 2025? Fedora 42 should be even more kick-ass by then, so you won't need MSWin anymore.
Ran into this yesterday to make sure
Turn off crap bitlocker features in 11
Using Virtual machine with hyper-v or kvm there is already a emulator for uefi & tpm that I've read
Kind of a lame way to use an os to me though.
I find your lack of "Win" disturbing. :laugh:
