Just want to thank microsoft for screwing me

So basically I cannot upgrade to windows 11, thanks to microsofts requirement for something called TPM. It's stupid, and it's dumb.

Everyone! Can you believe we made it 29 years without bullshit like this to simply use an operating system? I mean, wow!

To be honest though, I hear windows 11 is the worst operating system ever. So in that respect, microsoft did me a favor. Now, it forces me to use Linux Mint, and move away from the CEO of microsoft, I think Nutella is his last name or something like that.

Anyway, great job microsoft. You've successfully pushed away your customers since the days of DOS. I'll be glad once I'm away because then I won't have to worry about forced updates all of the time. I hear there is a ton of stuff that is just literal trash with windows 11.

I'll be sticking with Windows 10 for as long as I can, I'll probably end up using the services of 0patch for updates. Our Wi-Fi is password secured, and I run Malwarebytes Premium, Adblocker Ultimate and uBlock Origin. So I feel as if I'm already well protected.

I got the same issue, but was able to enable it through some advanced settings. It's definitely not meant for the average user though...

@NerdyPotato Yeah I think I have TPM 1.2 or something. Like my mobo is manufactured right when TPM was becoming a thing, so I got a good mobo for the time, but it doesn't have the full 2.0 version on it.
@twiigss then you're going to need a new mobo for the upgrade indeed, and as that links all hardware together, it will be difficult to find one that's modern enough and is compatible with everything else, so you'd essentially need to buy a whole new system. That's a really bad requirement, especially since Windows 10 was announced as the end to all full replacements. "This is going to be last Windows version. Only minor updates from here on, no more complete reworks."
