Windows 11's strict hardware requirements cannot be bypassed, Microsoft admits, "We know it sucks... we will still block you"

Definately time to switch to Linux, I've started using Windows 10fx, totally free, very compatible with windows software, with a very familiar windows 10 feel throughout. Microsoft is going to lose a lot by leaving a huge chunk of users out of this.

Why they didn't do Windows 11 Secure (with the TPM and Chip support that they have already annouced) and a Windows 11 version that doesn't rely on these technologies (kinda Home/Pro setup). This would show some appreciation for those of us that want to upgrade but simply can't get new hardware.

Truly terrible Microsoft.

I have 8 GB RAM, a TPM 2.0, UEFI-bios (latest DELL update June 2021) - everything, BUT a 7th gen INTEL  >:(
