I've stayed away from Windows 11 because of the bloatware and TPM requirements. Turns out, my old processor that was rejected by Microsoft actually had TPM 2.0, it just needed to be enabled from the BIOS. Well, I installed it a few days ago and everything look great. The bloatware was a problem but there are FOSS apps for that. The UI looks clean, the taskbar is uncluttered, and I feel stupid for not updating before. I don't know if I'm the minority here but I think that for most users Windows 11 is easier and more accessible.

I would say there's less bloatware that win10. None of that weird candy crush shit they pulled. I personally prefer 11, I use it on my work laptop but because of the TPM requirement my gaming PC that I had recently got a new motherboard for just before the requirements were announced, I'm still stuck on 10 with that.

Strange about your motherboard. I have an older one and just had to enable it via BIOS. I've heard some support it as an add-on module.

No internal tpm and no slot from what i can tell.

If you have an 8th gen Intel / Ryzen 2000 series or newer.

You need to confirm that you have secure boot enabled. CSM disabled and the TPM features enabled. Depending on which setting is holding you back you may need to reconfigure your existing windows installation to boot again.

I updated as soon as I could. I've loved it since day one and now with Copilot it's even better. I love it.
