Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around? (lemmy.world)

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 always dual boot for those games ... A pain, I know, but doable.

Might even be able to run it on VM, especially if you set up a type 2 hypervisor. Again, that's it's own pain, but really should only be that on initially getting it to work rather than every time

But if I have to have a full Windows installation that I need to keep up to date, with the full setup of drivers and other software that I need to run games, what advantage does an average person (not software dev/IT enthusiast) have from running a second OS for the things that do work on both OSes?

It's kinda like saying "This racing kit car is amazingly fast, you can tinker on it and reconfigure it, and for everything that you can't do in the kit car, you can just keep a family minivan around".

That's nice for a racing/car enthusiast. But most people just want one car to do all they need.

I mean, it is a thing you can do if Linux is something you want to switch to, but just have these outliers. I'm not going to tell you why you should switch, I know neither if that's something you want or if that's something that will benefit you, that's for you to decide.

All I'm saying is these are a couple of ways to deal with that, that's all.
