Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

    You can use the Rufus USB flashing tool with the Windows 11 iso and it will remove the TPM requirement and others.

      This breaks your ability to get security updates on win11 though right?

        Windows Update gets turned off yes.

        But you wait say 6 months and then it back on, Do all updates and then run the playbook again (after it’s been hopefully updated)

            Not always. Windows has a built in delay function. And business often hold back while testing is done.

            Waiting 6 months is fine to let improvements come out and fix any bugs previous updates might have introduced.

            If something major comes out that needs patching immediately, since we’re all tech heads and have our nose in the news constantly, then you find out about it and update there and then. No biggy.
