Windows 10: Microsoft PLEASE remove the TPM requirement.

Hi Microsoft, please remove the TPM requirement for Windows 11, even though I understand it's for security, there are almost too many people that don't have TPM 2.0, including me. If you want to add it, then maybe add it so you can choose if you want to install it with TPM or not? -Victor

Windows 10 devices now requires hardware encryption/TPM

Stolen from Sweclockers, but it's in swedish.

So from now on devices (OEM built) needs a TPM module. Relevant bit:

Pretty interesting, but there's tons of questions I guess. I don't actually now anything about how TPM works, just that it's hardware, meaning the key is stored in a physical chip and that the decryption has to run through this chip. But I have no idea how let's say biometrics is tied to this. Or what the implications will be, or what exactly is encrypted. The entire storage or just the log in details as such?
