Hardware hasn’t changed in the way you think it has for quite a while. For shits i span up a compatability check on my fifteen year old file server and it qualifies for w10.

Your 15 years old system is Windows 10 compatible because Windows 10 was released in 2015, meaning that it is actually a 5 years old system when compared to Windows 10. You can run Windows 11 with any device from 2019.

The big wank issue with win10/11 is microsoft trying to enforce corporate hardware requirements on home users. Mostly so they can start trying to garden wall their shit.

You keep saying this line about corporate hardware. What’s “corporate” about TPM 2.0?
