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:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

90 weeks? I guess I can have another baby, and then after a while make a decision on what to do with my W10 VM installation

VMs can emulate TPM cant they? Win11 still sucks but at least it will work.

There is a TPM emulation, yes, 1.1, 2.0 - you choose

Any decent motherboard built in the last 10 years should have a TPM chip onboard.

I just bought a brace of enterprise servers.

TPM chips are useless.

Meh.

All my hardware is just slightly older than TPM and SecureBoot. It's from like 2009.
