This is stupidity. Windows 11 can be easily installed on computers without TPM 2.0, Secure Boot or <8th generation Intel CPU: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-re...

Define "easily"? Non-tech-savvy users will never even touch an install USB or know what regedit is. They'll just see the dialog saying "your computer doesn't support Windows 11", chuck it in the bin, and buy a new one.

Then they should ask their tech-savvy friends how to do it using a simple tutorial. Tech illiteracy shouldn't be an excuse for stupidity by throwing away good hardware.
