Windows 11 Upgrade

[Condi]

Does anyone know what Microsoft are going to do about PC's which don't have the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 required for W11? Quite a lot of self-build and smaller PC manufacturers don't have the TPM, and so are these PCs just going to stay on W10 even after it is no longer supported by Microsoft?

There are workarounds which involve editing the Windows registry to allow Win11 to be installed on some hardware which doesn't strictly meet requirements (typing this on a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro which doesn't meet the quoted requirements but is running Win11 nicely).

Yes it’s very easy to do the registry tweak as shown above.

To add some more info, if you don't appear to have a TPM module installed then sometimes upgrading to the latest drivers, and updating the BIOS firmware to the latest edition can unlock your TPM or enable a software TPM module, thus allowing an upgrade to W11.
