    These are likely artificial. I remember someone was able to go around the TPM 2.0 requirement and run Win11 without one (though no idea where I heard this or who the guy was).

    And for Win12 it would clearly be a requirement just to puah AI more. My understanding is there is no real use for NPU other than for AI processing

      It’s not hard at all to bypass TPM or SecureBoot it’s just two flags in the installer config you can disable. When making a flash drive you can use rufus to do it for you even.

      Bad idea to continue using Windows anyways but I did this for my my parents old laptops since they are unwilling to change…yet. Guiding my mother through ShutUp11 gave her pause. Maybe W12 will push her over the edge.
