M/S wants you to buy a new PC. Why? Microsoft isn’t making any money by letting you upgrade your old PC for free.
The company wants to roll it out gradually. New Windows versions always have glitches, and you don’t want all 1.3 billion Windows PCs to suffer from these simultaneously. If some huge error appears in the future for Windows 11, it’s best it be relegated to a few early adopters rather than to billions.

PC users with older machines are out of luck. The TPM 2.0 technology was released in October 2014. As a result, Microsoft’s own director for OS security, David Weston, notes that only CPUs from the last five to seven years will possess the security chip.
