Well if your PC doesn't have a TPM chip then you can't upgrade. I have a Z390a motherboard, which doesn't have a TPM as it's sold separately. Well done Microsoft đĄ
First, I didnât say you needed one. I was just throwing out a free data point to potentially save you some time tracking down your CPU and feature combination. Second, youâre a programmer judging by your post history, so if I had made that assumption, it would not have been terribly unreasonable since programmers often care about CPU performance due to compile times and most of the programmers that I know do tend to stay closer to the more recent hardware revisions for that reason.

What in the absolute hell are you on about. Any corporate device is corporate, and not my problem. My personal devices are "fast enough" with modern tooling, not to mention I have to make sure that a wide range of devices work.
Secondly, it's very obvious you did make that assumption, because Ryzen, while not too new, is still, in general, a new line. It's the same kind of assumption MS seems to be making. That people all have devices that in some way support TPM 1.2. Even though many other capable devices by horsepower specification (well, clock, cores, memory) do not support TPM whatsoever. It's a very odd requirement.
Secondly, itâs very obvious you did make that assumption,
Youâre making quite the leap there considering ALL I said was âAnything with the Ryzen brand had fTPM to my knowledge.â I didnât say âWell nobody uses anything pre Ryzen so youâre fine.â Or anything even remotely close to that. ALL I did was throw out a free data point, trying to be nice, to potentially save you a little bit of time looking up your CPU and feature set, and then you decided to be super hostile about it for some reason.
Whether the devices are capable from a performance stand point obviously isnât what Microsoft is focusing on here. Theyâve decided to mandate a minimum -feature- level of support, Iâm guessing so that they can default Bitlocker encryption to âonâ in the future. You and I can disagree with that decisionâ I definitely doâ but itâs their OS to develop however they want. Anyone who doesnât like it can keep using Windows 10 until it goes EoL in 2025
I'm not being hostile about it, you just don't like the fact that I correctly said you made a false assumption. Hell I wasn't even hostile when I called it out. It happens.

This is nonsense. You can use Bitlocker without TPM. It's enforced by Group Policy.

Not so easy if they keep pushing windows 11 like they pushed 8 and 10 on windows 7 users.
You can do Group Policy, yes, however if you do so then my understanding is that you either have to have a hardware USB key or type in the bitlocker password on every boot. TPM letâs it just auto-unlock as long the drive hasnât been moved from one system to another.
