Windows 11 has started rolling out worldwide
Apparently, Windows 11' requirement of a relatively recent CPU is due to the need for TPM 2.0

Can anyone please explain what TPM (2.0) is and whether it works for or against me?

In practice, it's mainly used for DRM.

TPM is to secure software and data from the user. You no longer own your computer.
