From what I've read, it only affects AMD processors from 2011 and earlier, and Intel processors from 2008 and earlier.

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?

Guess I'm one of the three. I did the tpm bypass on an old computer I built way back. Mostly just for fun, I don't actually use it for anything anymore.

That said, looks like the CPU is new enough (i7 950) this change won't affect it.
