And unfortunately, considering the answers I got on the HP Forum, I have something to worry about. Personally I also own an HP Workstation Z420 which cost me a certain price (Xeon E5-2680 v2, 128 GB RAM, Geforce GTX 1050 TI. When it comes to the TPM 2.0, let me laugh, Microsoft and HP gentlemen, will a gamer or even Mrs Michou really be interested in it? What a nonsense ! They will prefer to let Windows 10 continue as in the days of Windows XP, with all its security holes. While other hardware are just as good and sometimes more powerful than the selected configurations. It will be a huge E-waste just to have Windows 11, a very good financial deal for Microsoft and its allies like HP.

I confirm that Microsoft (and HP and Cie too) is going to contribute to replace almost all the computers of the home consumer, whether at home in France or elsewhere. Seems like the best budget way to get a good performing PC. Thanks for the help! Glad I'm not the only one using these machines. I'd be curious if anyone finds out any other work arounds. Guess 4 years is a while to stretch this machine for but I'd think there will be a work around figured out by then, ha maybe a USB or PCIE TPM 2.0 module will be a thing as some point. Wondering what's going to happen when windows 10 is phased out. Guess the upside is now my boot drive is a 1TB SSD instead of a 120GB SSD now, but might have to bounce back and forth between them to finish projects I was in the middle of. So now I have two bootable hard drives with separate instances of windows 10.

I discovered this after spending an entire day reconfiguring a new windows install and redownloading all of my plugins and production software. So after I had already reinstalled windows 10 on a different drive, I remembered that you could go into safe mode and use msconfig to stop all the non windows processes from running at startup, once I did that, boom, windows was stable again. Well my dumb ass forgot the basics of troubleshooting a windows boot issues.
