With the post about cheap office pro, does anyone know of a cheap purchase of Windows 10? Stopped pirating Windows many years ago.

i'd just be happy if microsoft would "annoint" my 3yo Dell PC as "Windows 11 worthy".
i still go through their stupid checker and it doesn't like something about the bios or some crap. i get the 'check back later' from them and no way i'm going to go around that and try & sideload it.

It probably wants a TPM 2.0. It is possible your computer has one but its disabled in the bios but also likely your computer does not have it. You may be able to install one if you wanted to go that route. Maybe this could help? LINK

Are you a gamer? If not, don't use Windows.

Windows 11 requires Secureboot and TPM to be enabled. You can usually turn on TPM in the BIOS. Since your PC is only 3 years old, it should have TPM available.
** TPM can be provided in two ways: a separate TPM chip on the board or by the CPU itself via virtualization. My AMD processor comes with TPM emulation.

looks like its a TPM 1.2 issue; dell says it can be updated to TPM 2.0 but i've kept up w/ all the bios updates but there is a new one.
i'll run that first and see if it helps.

Jesus 
the shite you have to go through to update from TPM 1.2 to 2.0 on a PC
Lets not make this easy or anything. I got the dreaded "Your TPM is OWNED" error when trying to run the 2.0 firmware update.
This looks like its going to consume AT LEAST a half hour and because i have to be physically on the PC i get to stand in a dark server room holding a keyboard and staring at a tiny monitor.
oh and i'm not going to bother right now; my processor also isn't supported so its dumb to update the TPM right now.
Dell tower; only 2 years old and Microsoft is telling me to eat a bag of dicks

I have an MSI board, joke is on Microsoft requiring Secureboot, lol.
I upgraded my last mobo with an aftermarket TPM device (it was tiny and just plugged into pins that were already on my circa 2006 mobo.)

It IS possible to install Windows 11 on an unsupported PC if you really want to. Follow a guide like this or search on YouTube. LINK
Personally I wouldn't bother. I have a laptop that has an unsupported CPU and I am not upgrading it. By the time MS stops supporting Windows 10 the laptop will be junk anyway.

this is a headless server running plex and plex crashes plenty so i'm wondering if Win11 would help. so maybe its best to leave it alone anyway. i have some remediation for the server which has about 10 remote users who hammer it

Why did you buy a TPM chip? For Win 11? If your mobo is from 2006, it's time for an upgrade.

You don't have to pirate it. All you have to do is use an activation script off of GitHub.

Your cpu is from 2015. So, you bought a tower 2 years ago with a chip that was 6 y/o at the time.
Once again, CAD blames big bad tech company instead of looking in the mirror.
