Windows Upgrade Help and more

Same here. You could also just grab a big external hard drive and use the Backup and Restore tool in Windows 10 for a complete system image.

You could also try using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant and bypass the checks with a registry edit. Another option is creating an install USB with a script that removes the TPM requirement.

Yeah, You could also check if your specific CPU model is even on Microsoft's supported list, since some older i5 chips are excluded regardless of TPM. Let me know if that works.

Also, make sure TPM 2.0 is turned on in there too, it's often on a separate BIOS page. Hope that helps.

Yeah, you're spot on. One extra tip: try pausing updates for a week or two after a major release to let the early bugs get sorted.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. My older desktop had a TPM 1.2 chip and the upgrade prompts were relentless until I finally found the setting to pause them.
