Sounds like you can use Win 11 pro with a local account. Also, I found this, looks promising. https://allthings.how/how-to-install-windows-11-on-legacy-bios-without-secure-boot-or-tpm-2-0/
Being from the UK this doesn't mean much to me, which holiday?
No Ryzen 1000-series CPUs, or 2200G/2400G, and no Skylake Intel? Are they serious? WTF?Last but not least, make of this what you will:
Windows 11 Supported Intel Processors
Windows 11 Supported AMD Processors

All my holidays are happy because, you know, I'm on holiday!No, Kwanzaa.
I did a backup on my X99 rig, and made the workaround USB drive. I was even able to install Windows 11 as an upgrade from within Windows 10. No issues so far, it is now running Windows 11 Pro on a local account without secure boot
And just like that, Microsoft created several tons of e-waste with all the PCs and laptops that can't be updated to Win11. For Linux knowledgeable people, they will put Linux on the systems, for the sheeple it becomes e-waste or a listing on ebay, facebook or craigslist. Way to go "pro-environmentalist" companies with moves like this and making things hard to repair.
Microsoft has released an update to the Windows 11 PC Health Check App with more detailed messaging on why a computer may not be able to update. The messages include lack of TPM, secure boot being turned off, too small a system disk or an unsupported processor.
"Sorry for the irritating experience!” Steve Dispensa, the VP of PM for Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Windows Commercial, tweeted in response to a complaint about the upgrade tool. “We're going to improve the PC Health Check app over the next couple of weeks. Hopeful that the first update will be out tomorrow.”
In the article I linked to above your post, the person ran the updated utility using a 6700K, and as of right now, it told them they would not be able to install Windows 11.I have a 6700k sitting on a Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard. There's no TPM option anywhere in BIOS. If I run tpm.msc it shows via cmd it shows compatible TPM cannot be found.
So I take that my system is 'so old' that it will not officially be compatible for Windows 11?
I'm very confused!
Tom's Hardware staff writer Michelle Ehrhardt took her PC with an Intel Core i7-6700K, which isn't on the official list of supported processors, through the health check, and was told she'll have to stay on Windows 10.
Not necessarily, I just enabled PTT on 6600K / Z170 board. Had to update the BIOS though. The system still fails the Win 11 check, but since I'm booting in legacy mode I expect that to be the problem instead.I have a 6700k sitting on a Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard.

It gets better, here's how much more details it's offering me:Why wouldn't the first thing they think of before releasing the upgrade tool to the public be "It will tell people exactly why their PC won't be able to be updated, right?".
