So my Pin Cab here in the UK does not have a TPM chip.
i did get Windows 11 24h2 on it using Rufus but i decided to do an upgrade anyway.
its 5 years old and is running an i7 9700, 16gb ddr 4, pcie 3 nvme, and a gtx 1660 super.
Basically, old enough to get a 4 x performance enhancement whilst keeping power consumption similar for about 600 pounds (800 US).
This is what I got and hoping to build at the weekend.
I got a modest discount going for 13th gen intel but I probably should have gone AMD.
Requirements are Micro ATX and modest power consumption.
