I think the new name should have been windowsTPM.
Looking at the Japanese forums, many people seem to misunderstand that TPM has to be purchased as additional hardware.
This is just a guess on my part, but I don't think either TPM or UEF is that dependent on 11 to work. It is probably Microsoft's intention to use this opportunity to say goodbye to the old hardware environment.

Whatever is easier for you to say.

I could be a male and female unit

I was shocked to see their PC Health check app reports my processor doesn't support Windows 11. My 3 year old laptop has TPM v2.0 and the processor is an i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.70 GHz. What gives!?

So this requirement of Microsoft will exclude what percentage of current home and even business users?? Are we looking at the probability of over 70% of current home user and business devices? Shame on Microsoft if this is anything close to these numbers. For example in my case, my 3 year old laptop should NOT have to be replaced to support Windows 11. No other previous windows update version has ever required such a drastic upgrade in hardware to support it.

I have a Intel i7 6700HQ with both Secure Boot & TPM enabled (v2.0), but according to MS, I need to buy a
new laptop if I want to use Win 11. Not happy !!
Sure Microsoft, I'll spend several hundred dollars on a new computer just to run Windows 11. What are they thinking? Ah yes, in monetizing each user.

I have an Intel I7 also...does this mean I won't be able to upgrade?

As mentioned above, it looks like those of us who have a intel 7th Gen or older, are out of luck.
that's so bad the people at Microsoft have bricks in their heads
I wonder where this first public build that someone was talking about is?

M$ can go shuv it...I won't be relegating my Asus ROG to the dustbin just because some nut deemed it necessary to have TPM and an 8th gen cpu

It looks like they don't really know minimum system requirements for 11.

Windows 11 to Ship Without TPM Requirement for 'Special Purpose' Systems
Not all Windows 11 installs are created equal.

I expected that my old i7 950 would not pass the requirements,.
Ah well. Today I got a compensation day because of all the over hours I made. So I will have a look at some additional security.
Step1: de-install KSF and reduce Boot-Driver policy from 'Good only' to 'Good and unknown'
Step2: Add H_C and return to my 2020 settings (block scripts and enhanced sponsor block with Configure Defender on Max)
Step3: Give Re:HIPS a spin ( here is my ReHips setup link)

None of my laptops or my desktop are Windows 11 compatible. I don't buy new hardware if I don't need to so will just stick with Windows 10 (all my devices work perfectly fine with Windows 10) until 2025 and beyond. I've not seen any new 'must have' features which would encourage me to change that approach... I can live with square corners a little longer When one of my devices eventually fails its replacement, if I choose to replace, will no doubt be bundled with Windows 11 anyway. Must admit to being tempted to giving Linux a spin though anyway.....
