Ugh, so done with this?

This happened to me. I used the PC Health Check app, and it confirmed my CPU was the issue, so I just made peace with staying on Windows 10 for now.

+1 Yeah, that's exactly it. A quick tip: you can check if your specific CPU is on Microsoft's official supported list to be totally sure.

Agreed, and if it's not on the list, you're unfortunately stuck with Windows 10 for now on that hardware.

+1 I had the same problem with an older i5. That TPM 2.0 check is a real brick wall.

Yeah, that's the exact same wall I hit. A quick tip: double-check if Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too, it's another common snag.
