    Ok so if you built a computer in like 2019 or 2020 it’s only 4-5 years old. This was before windows 11 came out. 4-5 years is not that old for a computer, especially if you built a good one.

      This is what happened to me, a really high end PC built in 2018 and I couldn’t even upgrade because of the TPM stuff! Decided to try out Zorin and have been pleasantly surprised.

        9 times out of 10 you can turn TPM on on these machines, and even then, i’m told “Can’t upgrade to Windows 11.”

        Been using Linux for years, it’s my daily driver and does everything I need except for a few headaches with a AAA game here or there, other than that it runs all my games does all my web browsing and all my video editing and other stuff without issues.

        I have a ryzen 3800X and an x570 motherboard. It was one of the best motherboards at the time. No TPM support. You’re wrong.

          the 3800X has a built in TPM… So yes. You have a TPM. TPMs don’t need to be discrete chips.

          Model and brand MB? 3800 had almost universal support so you’re almost certainly an edge case if you aren’t just incorrect.
