I still wonder if Microsoft is going to blink with the whole Windows 11 requires TPM + modern(ish) CPU requirements vs the EOL of Windows 10.

I have a lot of hardware that will not run Windows 11 without hacking the installer to bypass the TPM/CPU checks and even then the end result is something that would be unsupported by Microsoft. If I move these machines to Windows 11 I'll be at risk of a future update hosing the install because it relies on newer CPU instructions or non-existent TPM.

I'm not going to retire those systems - I'll just migrate them to Linux instead.



Why wait?


Migrating will be a non-trivial amount of work per-system and I have no pressing need to do so until Windows 10 is actually close to its EOL date.


And we all hope EOL will be extended a bit.
