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.

Ha ha, no.

Chances are by Windows 12 they'll start implementing a check with their vendors to verify you're running windows and deny you any alternatives.

Windows 13 will melt your PC if you type the word Linux.

And Windows 14 will take you out to the woods and execute you if you even so much as think about a penguin.

Rufus or registry editing during installation can both dodge the requirement if you need it.

Even worse, Windows 12 is an AI OS. Think just like in the movie HER.
