    I didn’t see where it stated what kind of older, unsupported hardware Windows 11 would feasibly be installed on. Like what, 5 years before it’s release? Even then, why would anyone have Windows 11 on computers 10+ years old?

      Anything without a TPM 2.0 module on the motherboard. For example the Lenovo T470 from 2017 doesn’t have it. There are zero other reasons why it, and countless systems around that age and even older, couldn’t run Win 11.
      And anything made before October 2014 definitely doesn’t have one, as that is when TPM 2.0 was released in the first place.

          Huh, apparently yeah, Ryzen processors should have it. I’m guessing it’s disabled by default then. …or my bios being from 2019 might also have something to do with it :p
