Microsoft asks customers to switch to Windows 11
they are encouraging BitLocker (which needs TPM) and many O365 tools also rely on it for credentials. I think they’re trying to expand on this point. I believe consumers should have more options, but the reality is manufacturers often skip TPM chips unless it’s in business laptops.
They released similar features to Windows 10 quite some time back. The only real way to push back against Microsoft is to avoid using Windows altogether. It seems you're overlooking the broader strategy they're pursuing for DRM in games. They might have had to ease up a bit because players disliked the restrictions on the Windows Store, and I even encountered broken games on Steam that allowed modifications but not on Windows Store. This approach isn't ideal for users, but clinging to Windows 10 won't likely alter their plans. Luckily, most of my usage is on Linux, giving me a custom gaming PC without those limitations.
I’ll change to winning mode 11 once they restore the ability to tap the date in the lower-right corner, and I’ll let me set a reminder there, avoiding cluttering the taskbar with a calendar app.
This means all TPM functionalities help reduce the need to connect to external systems.
Coming from someone who used Windows 11 on their laptop since March 2022, I’m currently using the latest updates and drivers. I don’t recall the previous version. It’s solid overall, though the Wi-Fi and cable connections are slow with my old router. I’ve got about 450MB per channel, and when I try 5GHz on a 100Mb download, I only get around 20MB. This would definitely warn people to leave. Still, it works fine for online gaming and isn’t great for large file downloads. On cable speeds, I got a 50MB download, which matched the Wi-Fi speed—far below what I expected.
