    Context: I am using a Mac Pro 7,1 2019, running Windows 10 LTSC IoT and play games on it. NOTE: Windows 11 TPM Bypass is irrelevant, as the software itself checks for the hardware / firmware beyond just what operating system is installed. With many programs now requiring TPM 2.0 to operate on...
