I got my PC in 2020 and I love it. It has windows 10 and they are saying I need TPM in order to upgrade.

My system doesn't have TPM. What's my play?

I'm still rocking mine too. Let me take a look. Windows has made changes recently that take a way from the old school computer nerds. Let me see if there is a solution

I just discovered I got it in 2018. I love it, would hate to have to get a new one. Pain in the ass too.

It'll have to be this weekend for the research - I did buy a Lenovo 2 years ago and run it side by side with my Windows 10 Toshiba - The toshiba is my day to day - the lenovo though is fast and powerful but just like you, i have so much shit on it. So new stuff I use the new computer as I continue to back stuff up on an external.

Yeah, I'd have to do what you are doing.

I spent about an hour this morning looking for answers but most of the suggestions may as well had been written in Chinese. My head almost exploded and I quit looking for now.

Take your time, we have 3 months.

Looks awesome but I'm a desktop kinda guy. I need the full size keyboard and 3 monitors.

I wouldn't mind getting new but it's a huge hassle and I learned a long time ago if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The only reason I want windows 11 is because they are quitting support in October and there are ways to get windows 11 without the TPM but I don't want to sacrifice speed and security. When I go to Windows 11 I want to do it the right way. And maybe there is still a right way to do it with my system. I don't know.

Sheesh, most of us are fine with just one monitor.
