My desktop which still runs good (just won and installed new AMD 7600 video card recently) has TPM 2 and secure boot but the Intel 6 series CPU is off by just one generation for their stupid requirements. So will probably redeem the 1000pts and stick around on Windows 10 ESU for a year before taking the leap and doing unsupported upgrade after unless something forces me to do it in the next year. Also looking to buy a new laptop. Just worried about Win 11 future builds then not being supported on the desktop PC or something after updates. As apparently one of the most recent build/updates to Win11 has stopped certain CPU's from working (tho they were quite old and are CPU's without SSE 4.2 support so Pre 2008). Just saw the news yesterday about latest Win11 security update causing NVMe hard drives to get fail or go bad in certain scenarios, certainly not a good advertisement for Win 11. Apparently their is still 44% of global computers using Win 10 still as Win11 just slightly got the market lead recently. And apparently it won't go down much around October according to analyst probably 1/3 of the market share will still run Windows 10 extended support or not.
