With the end of Windows 10 support fast approaching, Microsoft has been stepping up efforts to entice Windows 10 users to make the switch to Windows 11—even if it means ditching your current PC and buying a new one that’s capable of running the newer operating system.
The company’s latest attempt comes from earlier this month, in the form of a newly published page extolling the virtues of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and how it makes Windows 11 better and more secure than its predecessor. Among other things, it explains that TPM can encrypt your files, control software on your computer, and prevent people from physically changing the hardware in your computer.
While there are indeed some security benefits to Windows 11 and TPM, the key thing here is that Microsoft made TPM 2.0 a non-negotiable system requirement for Windows 11, which is why so many older Windows 10 PCs aren’t eligible to upgrade—and even after all this time, Microsoft is resolute in that requirement.
If you’re still on Windows 10 but your system doesn’t meet the TPM spec or any other requirement for Windows 11, you don’t have to abandon it. Check out our article on how to save your Windows 10 PC even after Microsoft’s October deadline for end-of-support hits.
