My PC will *not* run Windows 11, like it actually won't.
The CPU is not compatible, if you do a simple CTRL+F search for "G2020" on the compatibility list [1], it yields no results. The latest generation on Intel CPU's supported is 8th gen.

I don't have a TPM Module. I can buy it as an addon (it ranges from 15 euro to 25 euro which isn't that much). The problem once again is CPU compatibility. I won't be able to use this motherboard with Windows 11. I might be able to make this a secondary box with Linux if I will get a new pc.
My opinion is that Windows 11 should support old hardware (that's what Windows 10 was moderately good at in the beginning before it became a mess). It has a physical limit on what hardware will and will not run, but TMP2.0 for a feature which we don't even know is a bit harsh, same as the 8th gen Intel limit. Kind of shows me how horrible Windows development team is at optimizing Windows itself.
