Ned,


Unless you were wanting to upgrade to a newer computer.
Just stick with windows 10.


I have an old mini-tower {2007}, and it to will not work with Win 11.
Because of its motherboard doesn't have TPM chips.

TPM is used for digital rights management (DRM), Windows Defender, Windows Domain logon, protection and enforcement of software licenses, and prevention of cheating in online games.
One of Windows 11's system requirements is TPM 2.0. Microsoft has stated that this is to help increase security against firmware attacks.
TPM chips are becoming mandatory and while most of the latest CPUs and motherboards do come with them bolted on in some fashion.
– that needs to be turned on in the BIOS –
So, that Windows 11 can use it.
