As Windows 10 end of life approaches, analysts are concerned that millions of devices will be scrapped due to incompatibility
Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years.
Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

CPU’s 6 years and older are not supported. That isn’t old. I was using a 6 year old CPU perfectly happily until this year.
I also don’t have a TPM module so I am still unsupported anyway.

So an unsupported work around. cool, cool
True I can do that but most people won’t. I am not expecting my less tech savvy friends to even try if they even do know about this workaround.
