If I upgrade my machine, I am keeping TPM disabled. I don't want Windows 11.
Don't TPMs just deal with cryptography code the same way a SIM card does for a phone? If you have one, What's wrong with using it?
Platforms like Windows and Chrome can also use it for remote attestation, i.e., verifying you haven’t bypassed security controls and locking you out if they think you have.
I keep mine enabled because it’s good for secure boot and secrets handling.
