Should just use Linux, tbh.

You can get windows 11 working on non tpm 2.0 systems. It's a soft requirement that Microsoft enforces with the stock installer but can be bypasses.

You can, but MS disables automatic updates without telling you. I have TPM but my CPU is one generation too old apparently, so they silently disabled updates on my machine and I didn't realise I was still on 21H2 until a couple of weeks ago and had to manually update it.

The manual update worked and it didn't warn me about anything or encounter any issues, but that was a massive pain.

My cpu is also to old (5960x) but I get automatic updates. There are/were multiple methods to getting windows 11 to work on invalid hardware, maybe some don't work with auto updates.

No automatic updates? That sounds like a complete win
