    Win11 is just win10 with (basically) enforced hardware security TPM. So, you know, websites and shit know your hardware is legit, to check if you’re allowed to play that sweet 4k video you already pay that subscription for.

      Curious what they do when I add “DisableTPMCheck” to the registry during install to make it go on ancient hardware?

        I say they’ll just know they can’t trust your OS install completely, so it may refuse to serve you HD content, or maybe some banking stuff can fail… some online game may not work, etc.

        I haven’t taken time to actually read about it unfortunately, but I feel like this whole TPM thing is just gonna be PC enshittification vector. I wish I’m wrong about this…

        So far the only thing I’ve noticed is I can’t play Valorant, and soon League of Legends too.
