    with a 64-bit chip operating at a frequency of at least 1000 megahertz continuing to meet the requirements

    Wrong. The requirement for Windows 11 is “processor introduced on the market after the year 2018, with absolutely no regards on its computational power” (with a single exception to the specific CPU of the $3500 Microsoft surface studio because they continued to sell the machine with the same old processor for five years)

    For example an i7-7700K is “unsupported” but the much slower and with less features atom-based Celeron j4005 is “supported”.

    The hardware requirements are completely artificial and clearly decided in agreement with Intel and AMD in order to sell more new computers

      The i7-7700k is my exact CPU, and I was wondering why my update screen always claimed I was out of spec for Win 11. Then I did some digging and it seems that some CPUs are more equal than others in that regard. Then I got Win 11 on my work computer and didn’t want Win 11 anymore.

        No, most tpm implementation nowadays are integrated in the CPU. And Intel 6th gen onwards have tpm 2.0 in the CPU, but they’re not supported for “reasons”
