The world has enough electronic garbage and waste. The green thing to do is allow people to run it with or without TPM and with any hardware that works with Windows 10.
It sounds like there is no real reason to force everyone to buy a new computer except some execs at MS came up with an artificial "security" excuse for perfectly fine hardware that people already own.

2021-07-01T02:46:41+00:00 That is because your processor is 7th gen, and Microsoft said they are currently testing 7th Gen processors for Windows 11, Hopefully, its support gets added, I myself have an i3-7100 but I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 Windows insider preview build 22000.51 without any restrictions.
THANKS, AND STAY SAFE!!
