In other words, OEMs can still build computers without TPM.
The same document also confirms that Windows 11 will run on any virtual machine without any TPM control.
Microsoft is obviously working on a new method or preparing a new installation image that can bypass the TPM requirement. Of course, existing users can also bypass the TPM 2.0 requirement by modifying their registry or installation media according to the leak.

Since Microsoft leaves a gap in the use of TPM module, hacks will be released that will allow installation on computers that won't be compatible. Let's see what will happen to the 7th generation processors that the company doesn't allow...
