   "Win 11 *refuses* to be installed on Win 10 hardware.  You're stuck with   
   it until you buy new hardware."   
      
   It's not true. You're not "stuck" with Windows 10. There's a simple   
   solution.   
      
   And of course installing a newer version of OS-X requires a much more   
   complicated workaround to be installed on older Mac hardware.   
      
   Here's the difference ─ Microsoft did allow, with no workaround   
   required, Windows 11 to be installed on non-TPM systems shipped with   
   Windows 10, for more than three years after Windows 11 was released ─   
   there was no refusal at all and no workaround required!   
      
   Conversely, Apple never allowed OS-X to be installed on older Mac   
   systems without a workaround, there was no "grace period." You can't   
   blame Apple for the lack of support because the switch from x86 to their   
   own silicon made it impractical to continue to support old hardware with   
   newer versions of OS-X.   
      
   With Microsoft, I think that they should have continued with an option   
   to ignore TPM, with the user accepting any risk, instead of requiring a   
   workaround.   
      
   No doubt that Microsoft, like Apple, wants people to buy new hardware   
   since that generates more revenue for them. Microsoft is not only   
   getting the revenue from each copy of the operating system, they're also   
   selling more copies of Microsoft Office and other applications.
