    The single biggest reason is that Microsoft significantly limited the hardware that can be used for W11 with the TPM and stringent hardware needs.

      Not that I want to upgrade but I don’t understand the logic behind the requirements at all. I have a cheap and weak little travel notebook thats apparently elegible, meanwhile my desktop thats very modern and could probably run an atomic scale simulation of that notebook is apparently not suitable.

        Pretty much any modern CPU has a TPM module built-in. Good chance you just need to go to the BIOS and enable it.

      I would have upgraded a while ago if my hardware supported it. The kernel upgrades are pretty zippy.
