I actually didn't, but I still think the point stands

Microsoft does let's you bypass it (Regardless of them putting up a disclaimer) so the example stands, you can do it hardware and software wise without losing updates or security*

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-on-de...

* I think you only really lose some performance on cryptographic operations and tranparent encryption

The Microsoft support page you linked says that it's unsupported.

I don't know what point you're trying to make here, but it's falling flat.

  • Microsoft removed the mandatory requirement, so now instead of refusing to install it just gives a disclaimer that it's "unsupported" as per the linked page

    So you can install Vanilla Windows 11, no third party, on decade old hardware without losing anything other than performance (And an annoying disclaimer)

    • Microsoft removed that. TPM is a hard requirement unless you unwisely remove the requirement via 3rd party tool.
