Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? (lemmy.world)

Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

Problem is, i havent enabled my TPM and don't plan to, either.

TPM just gives your PC a non-spoofable fingerprint so Microsoft can always identify your PC. It's simply a DRM-device built into your PC.

Just because you haven't enabled it doesn't mean it's not available. If you want a modern operating system, that's the "you must be this tall to ride this ride."

You mean a massively patched windows 2000 with modern OS? Does Linux count, or BSD? How about macOS?
