I hope so, I built my own PC less than 4 years ago and it can't run windows 11. I don't care that much at the moment because I'm not a fan of some of the UI choices (and I only use Windows for gaming anyways) but once support is dropped for Windows 10 I'll need options.
There’s always Linux.
while that is true, i can't recommend it to my "normie" friends yet. apart from me still dailying Win10
Cinnamon Lime. Works great.
Mint?
Sorry. Yea. I don't know why I thought Mint was Lime lol
You can install win11 on older hardware. Even update win10 to win11 from older hardware. It is just a matter of disabling the right settings.
For a fresh install, use Rufus to create the bootable usb.
An update install is a bit trickier, but you can check the following article: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-install-windows-11-on-older-unsupported-pcs/
Why is nobody else recommending buying a TPM? They don't seem that expensive.
Is the TPM requirement the only one holding your PC back from installing it officially? There's workarounds to that
