Microsoft is doing disservice in a way, to force purchase a working computer. i do not find the recent versions of microsoft any different from making huge GUI knacks and hidden menus. Everybody in new era would move to linux by force, in due course . Nobody would try bricking his computer just because, it has old hardware.
By the by, please only tell,your rufus suggestion, would work on incompatible processors. the tpm, is ok. what if it is having only legacy bios. Rufus,though, changed to mbr,and uefi or bios in settings , will it work. what if the mobo manual has a mention of tpm 1.2, but no such existence in bios settings in security tab. detailed reply please
