I would disagree on the basis that Linux upgrades don't require hardware upgrades (unless you have a very low end hardware that's hanging by a thread already)
For example, I don't remember seeing all this fuss about upgrading when people were moving from 8.1 to 10 (but it could just be me on my bubble)
Hmmm. I've never seen a board with a TPM header.
I don't have any without. I do have ones where it's not mentioned in the manual but clearly there though. Edit: double checked the 9 boards I have laying around. All of them going back to 4th gen intel have them. dont have any pre ryzen amd laying around to check though.
I'm likely going to have to upgrade to ryzen or similar if I wanted to dual boot 11. I'm on an FX-8350 so it might be time anyway.
You've gotten good time out of that system for sure. You can find good deals on ryzen 3000 and 5000 stuff right now.
Unless something has changed they took an axe to all 7th gen and older Intel CPUs and Ryzen 2000 and older AMD CPUs. This is the big challenge since this includes some very capable systems that are now just ewaste because Microsoft didn't want to maintain compatibility all the way back to the Pentium 4 and Core 2 Duo and cut off platforms that still have life left in them
Yeah the one saving grace is it's a very long lifespan compared to all other computing platforms, plus one can actually install an alternative operating system or even hack Windows 11 to install in an unsupported manner, but it still means millions of computers going to the ewaste bin
Even then, try AntiX.
