So… just people who bypassed the earlier TPM requirement and installed Windows 11 on those older CPUs for some reason. Who would do this, like three people in the world?

minus-squarefuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down2·9 months agoThe oldest machines to support windows 11 are about years old at this point. It’s OK to call them old. Old =/= unusable/useless
minus-squaretripledd@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 months agoGuess I’m one of the three. I did the tpm bypass on an old computer I built way back. Mostly just for fun, I don’t actually use it for anything anymore. That said, looks like the CPU is new enough (i7 950) this change won’t affect it.

sure, but not having POPCNT means way older than not having TPM
that’s sorta what I meant
