    Is it true though? As far as I’m aware the issue is that Windows 11 requires a TPM.

    I don’t have a matrix of CPUs that have built-in TPM at hand, but I’m fairly certain that Intel’s 9th gen, released in 2018, has it. It’s disabled by default and needs to be enabled in BIOS, they call it PTT (Platform Trust Technology).

    AMD CPUs also have it, under the name fTPM, I think.

    If your CPU doesn’t have a built-in TPM, I guess you could buy a discrete chip, rather than get a whole new machine. Though do check that the mobo has a slot.

    As you may have noticed, I’m assuming desktop systems. That’s because laptops have had TPMs since forever.
