Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? (lemmy.world)

Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

Because it's cheaper to sell them back then support all the bullshit and replace batteries every damn week whenever anybody complains about having a slow computer. As well as an easy way to manage money. You just lease the machines, send them off, and if there is a problem the vendor deals with shipping, troubleshooting, and all the labor managing an older device.
