    My pc meets all the requirements... exept for this TPM 2.0 thing... I've never heard of this, My motherboard supports the installation of this hardware, but it didn't came with it... never seen one installed on any of the computers I've checked... and can't seem to find it anywhere to buy one... and even so, seems like every TPM works dependind on the motherboard model...
    So how the heck do you suppose that we get the windows 11 OS with this nonsensical requirement?
    I have a Nasa level PC, but lack this freaking component =(

    This TPM 2.0 requirement was a real big letdown... I have been happily running a Z97 / i7-4790k system for years and it still meets my needs. I can see this creating SO much e-waste when Windows 10 runs out of support in a few years, and most computers >5 years old won't have the TPM chip.

    Can someone that works at Microsoft or anyone with info tell me why TPM 2.0 is required. It seems kind of crazy that is required and I cant think of a reason why it would be.
