Time to buy some cheap Win11 unsupported PCs I guess? I just needed one for my home server and NAS

If only there was some other alternative than throw my old stuff in the bin.

"upgrading"

I thought they were dropping the tpm requirement. I even have a W11 iso at work that doesn't have it, provided by an official Microsoft partner.

The pessimist in me feels Microsoft need people to buy the new devices with the shiny new co-pilot button more than ever.. gotta recoup the hundreds of billions sunk into OpenAI

Just look up W10 LTSC. Shouldn't bug you with upgrades, and has a few more years support.
