I'm so glad I'm stuck with a "your hardware doesn't support windows 11" message.

Just disable TPM in your BIOS if you have that option. Win 11 needs modern TPM so it won't upgrade you if you don't have one.

"Needs" lol

It's just in there to sell more hardware. Afaik, 11 does nothing that actually requires the newer tpm.

Yeah people who really wanted 11 back in the beginning found an easy process to bypass the check during the install. 11 works fine without it.

If you make the bootable USB drive with Rufus, a little window pops up asking if you wanna remove some of the bullshit, such as TPM and secure boot requirements.
