Writing in its bog, the company says the security feature is "necessary for a secure and future-proof Windows 11."

In August, Microsoft blocked a loophole that allowed users to circumvent the hardware requirement verification process when activating Windows 11 on unsupported devices.

Microsoft released Windows 11 over three years ago. However, due to Vole's stringent system requirements, the operating system isn't as popular as its predecessor, Windows 10.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 is one of Microsoft's stringent requirements for running Windows 11. However, avid tech enthusiasts devised ingenious techniques to bypass this requirement and run Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.

Now, Vole is saying that the TPM 2.0 system requirement for upgrading to Windows 11 is now non-negotiable.

Microsoft Senior Product Manager Steven Hosking said the TPM 2.0 requirement was "a necessity for a secure and future-proof Windows 11." The stringent requirement complements Secure Boot, ensuring your device only boots using trusted and secure software.
