i honestly believe Microsoft could have done better by allowing most devices at least 10yrs and below to support the new OS and subsequently encourage users to buy new devices. coming from a time where most of the world is recovering from the pandemic its sad that we somehow have to factor an additional cost to experience the new OS given the new hardware requirements, anyway in future its not always about supporting a product for a long time and launching new products with huge demands and expectations, but ensuring that users can be loyal to your product and upgrade without being coerced. #MyThoughts/Opinions
 
Solution
It mainly boils down to the TPM requirement. TPM 2 offers much better security and unfortunately TPM 1.2 and 2 are not compatible due in part to the types of data they can store. There are a number of features both Azure centric and specific to Windows that do not work on older TPMs and that again is due to the data that needs to be stored and the cryptographic algorithms that are used. An example is that TPM 1.2 only supports SHA-1 for hashing which has been considered weak and not recommended.
The TPM 2.0 requirement is for the upgrade from WIndows 10 to Windows 11. You can do a successful clean install on PC's that won't allow you to do an upgrade for Win 10 to 11.
