What would Jesus do?
Give the laptop to me to donate to https://transtechtent.com/ who will wipe it, install an OS, and then give it to kids in needs or families in poverty.
Buy yourself a TPM compatible laptop and move on :)

hippy
Still trying to work out what to do with my Win 10 machine. It has less than a year of Windows support and doesn't have the TPM2.0 shit that Win11 needs (I think there might be a way around that but then it's unsupported and might not receive updates?
I was going to ditch it and get another laptop instead but it seems a waste of some good kit (it's a spendy Quiet PC build).
I could swap out the mobo and CPU and everything but that's a massive faff that I've got no time for.
"You can't re-use the Nofan cooler these days but the PSU, case, sound card, 2.5" SSD, Wi-Fi card and even the RAM can all be re-used. You would however need a new DDR motherboard, processor and a suitable CPU cooler (though in that case, I suspect it would need to be fanned)."
I could install a flavour of linux but that doesn't help with most of my Windows based stuff. It would cover 90% of what I do though and I have a work laptop I could use (but eew)
