And from the glowing reviews it’s clear that
-
W11 doesn’t actually need a new PC to run and the limitations are completely artificial
-
For many people, a ten years old PC is fast enough (or even faster than a brand new Intel N100 PC that is officially W11 compatible). They won’t even notice that’s something from 2015, as long it has a shiny new case, enough RAM and SSD
-
Amazon doesn’t care that the PC comes with pirated software, or that someone is scamming their customers, as long they get their 15% cut from marketplace sales (the cost of a genuine license of W11 pro and office exceeds the price of those ewaste specials)
Ok read the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-24h2-supported-intel-processors
Where does it say that you can use a 6th gen Intel CPU if you install a tpm chip?
The tpm is definitely not used as you can install it on a supported system, then go to the bios, disable secure boot and tpm and it still works (if the automatic “ransomware” bitlocker encryption didn’t start)

Did you read the link you posted? It says you must have Intel 8th gen or higher AND tpm 2.0
Not just tpm 2.0
