I’ve been a computer geek and programmer for 35 years. I’m the one my entire extended family asks for IT help. I’m even consulted by the IT department at work.
And I have no idea how to get Windows 11 running on my home PC. It has a TPM but I have secure boot in BIOS set to “Other OS” because I dual boot with Linux. I’m not getting rid of Linux, that’s my daily driver. I just use Windows to play games. What does MS expect me to do exactly, get a second PC for Windows?
If you currently have a Windows 10 machine, you can use NT Lite to edit the win11 iso. You can remove some of the bloatware, turn off some of the annoying features, and disable the tpm and secure boot requirements entirely.
Yeah, pretty sure that’s what stopped mine upgrading as well. I’m not messing with the boot settings, because I don’t want a machine that suddenly can’t boot.
35 years? cmon man, use your brain then. Install win11 on USB with Rufus, check the box to bypass tpm requirements, install windows. You can force it on anything like any other os. I hate windows 11, but you’re being a little dense here.

Dunno which games you play, but Proton is incredible these days, and you can play just about anything with it (Protondb will give you an idea).
In fact, there have been several cases where the Windows version of a game with Proton plays better than the native Linux runtime for the same game.
