Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:
- Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
- Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
- Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

They haven’t dropped the requirement, but you have to manually go in and disable that check yourself on the windows 11 installer if you want to install it on a non-tpm 2.0 machine
Basically, it’s a faff that only the techie people will realistically do. Everyone else will just go out and buy new hardware.
For those wondering, no it isn't just a check box. You need to create some registry files.
It is a checkbox in Rufus. Ventoy will also do this for you.
You need to uncheck the checkbox so the iso can install on non tpm hardware but you also need to tweak the registry when installing windows so the installer doesn't check for tpm compatability.
