Homebuilt PC vs. Windows 11

[MacLawyer]

I'm a Mac user so maybe a knowledgeable Windows user knows the answer. Does Windows 11 requiring the TPM and secure boot features adversely affect the homebuilt PC market?

I don't think so.

Modern PC motherboards have the TPM 2.0 chip and secure boot (bios) on board, so no problems at all when building a PC. It never hurts to check the compatibility with Windows 11 before buying of course .

I have a homebuilt PC with a Core i7-9700K (9th gen Intel) and I have successfully installed Windows 11. There will probably be no problem, as long as compatible motherboards are used.

Any recent DIY motherboard within the past few years has TPM and UEFI/Secure Boot for Windows 11. Manufacturers also updated BIOS around August 2021 to enable TPM by default whereas prior BIOS versions required user go into BIOS and manually enable.

You can officially bypass the TPM requirement anyway so zero impact either way.
