    Does win 11 still require physical hardware to run? Why I have to sacrifice one of my motherboard slots for a worthless authentication chip that might stop working and brick my computer - ya I’ll stay with 10.

        Strange, I thought it was a standard header. Why I bought 10 instead of 11 when building my computer.

        It’s built into my CPU but for some reason MS doesn’t trust the Intel Core i7 chips.

      Technically it’s an artificial requirement, it’ll run just fine without secure boot and TPM, you’ll just need to do some work around to install it that way.
