The computer that I put together in 2020 with almost top of the line components somehow didn't meet the requirements for Win 11. At some point, an update was installed and magically it was good to upgrade to Win 11. I still haven't upgraded, and likely won't for a long while, but I found that to be very odd from the start.

Then you probably have TPM but it's turned off in BIOS, and the new checker figured it out

I disabled the tpm in bios on purpose because i dont see any benifit to upgrade to w11.

Yup. Don't want any accidental "upgrades".

This is almost always why people "don't meet the requirements." But to be fair, I wouldn't expect the average user to look into it or ever enter their BIOS

Mine was from 2019 and top line and barely missed the cutoff on having a TPM. It sucks because the rig is still viable

Quite a few mobos of that era supported tpm, just didn't install one. It may be as simple as buying, installing on the right pins, and enabling in bios.

Every time the computer restarts it's like an advertising pop up telling you that you won a free iphone. I don't want windows 11 bruh, leave me alone.

Mine took some wrangling to update; for a while my system said it didn't have enough memory on the disc to install, I have two discs there's plenty of room on it.
