Watch what is next for Windows event on June 24, 2021

I guess I am SOL, nothing for me. Looked at every item in bios

There will be (and are already) ways around it, so I hear. Remember, that is for booting to clean install as far as I know. That's the only time a TPM would come into play, when you have a device such as USB thumb or DVD inserted and attempting a boot from it.
An in-place upgrade should not be affected.

On recent Macs, the Security System Preference defaults to not permitting a boot from other than the internal SSD (might also include non-SSD if the OS is recent enough). I always advised my clients to disable that setting as it basically bricks the machine when macOS decides to go south for some reason.

I was TheMacGuy but retired at the end of March (after 25+ years). I'm a Windows guy now. Like Satya said, it's all about not being locked into specific hardware.

OK, peeked into the BIOS and UEFI is enabled but can't find Secure Boot anywhere? I have a gigabyte motherboard h110m-s2h-cf

How the heck I don't have TPM?! (Could not find TPM1.2 or higher on this PC)

You might have a tpm connector on the motherboard to put a tpm 2.0 chip in.

You don't have secure boot in the bios tab at the bottom?

But I don't understand Dencal. Why the heck are these computers being flagged as 'failed' by Microsoft?

Because the app that checks for compatibility with Win11 is buggy.
