Microshaft actually are recalling their tpm requirement. 

You can also debloat windows 11 at install and make it run on pretty much any 10 year old or less computer.  Again TPM was a suggestion, not a requirement thanks to many people that worked hard with the RUFUS project to remove the silly bs microshaft had placed in the os

I am posting this because most if not all of us use computers for our hobby. Now that Microsoft has done its part trying to make money for hardware manufacturers via TPM and Windows 10 EOL here comes the next time to buy another computer moment, the next big Windows 11 update Bromine. Current updates already throw AI at you whether you want it or not. Seeing the end of support and the relentless go buy new hardware campaign from Windows 10 you know it will happen with this update too.

Just imagine that new PC you bought before Windows 10 support ended will be targeted for "you need better hardware" in less than a year.
