You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2. (www.neowin.net)

Weird. The lack of TPM 2.0 never prevented the upgrade process in my case, but once I disabled the upgrade, it didn't come back (though I couldn't tell you exactly what worked for me, I googled that some time ago).

However, for a while now Windows Update has been telling me my PC didn't have the minimal requirements to execute Windows 11. Sure enough, PC health check app tells me it's just lacking TPM. Gee, maybe it would have helped to check that before trying back then...
