I'm still rocking an i7-4790K from 2016 with a 3070Ti and 32GB DDR3. While I know my rig is due a refresh, there isn't a game or VR game or program I've thrown at it that it can't handle properly.

But I can't upgrade to Win11 because no TPM 2.0. And I don't have 1000$ to throw in a new mobo + gen 12/13/14 CPU + DDR5 + M.2.

Googled a bit, not 100% sure but seems that CPU does not seem to have TPM at all so kind of out of luck. Motherboard does not have it either? In theory you could add it, no idea about cost.

Have never tested, but I remember there being methods to install W11 to any HW. No idea if afterwards everything works as expected, maybe give it a read and test in VM first.
