So… just people who bypassed the earlier TPM requirement and installed Windows 11 on those older CPUs for some reason. Who would do this, like three people in the world?

minus-squaretripledd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoGuess I’m one of the three. I did the tpm bypass on an old computer I built way back.
