Windows 11 Shenanigans

With windows 10 soon to not receive updates and the TPM requirements there is a concern of e-waste. Before throwing your system out please consider listing it. Make it a fair price and I can guarantee that a savvy Linux user will give it a new home and purpose. Perhaps you will be that Linux user.

I will probably never be a Linux user, but I hate seeing perfectly good pc hardware tossed out for no good reason.

@496sbc https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement. This site has several options. I've never used them personally so you are on your own at this point. Good luck!
