    You can just bypass those hardware requirements fairly easily. There are a bunch of guides out there.

    Here’s one from Tom’s Hardware. https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement

    It even shows how to make a install media that doesn’t require the checks so you can just install it no issue.

    Though fair warning that some of those requirements they have are good for security purposes so your installs may not be as secure without them.

    Win 11 is still pretty ass though and bloated to hell. I instead got myself a LTSC version of Win10 instead which will get updates until 2032 or something like that. That gives me enough time to figure out if I want to install Linux or IDK I’ll just die before that, either one is fine.

      Thanks for the links. I recall reading that installing windows 11 with bypasses might break after some future update? I just didn’t want to offer a solution that might cause issues as well.

      For some linux was a good option, but for some I said you can either get a new computer or pay for the LTSC. Thankfully I was able to find some affordable win11 compatible laptops for their usecases.
