Personal Consumer Issues • Upgrade to Windows 11 ?

$

Hoping I can piggyback on this thread.

I have a 2012 windows 10 computer without TPM. It was the fastest Intel processor available at that time and I've since upgraded to SSDs and an elite/new graphics card. It works GREAT for me for all my needs (gaming, work, etc) and it's hard to imagine I would need any newer/better hardware for another 10+ years.

But my main PC as well as my wife's laptop have windows 11. So each go back and forth to this computer and the small differences between 10/11 become annoying. In addition, we each now are used to and prefer windows 11 over 10.

Finally my question: I'm thinking of upgrading 10 --> 11 with a TPM workaround. But I'm worried about bricking the PC. I have a moderate degree of PC experience in that I've replaced cards/memory, have changed BIOS settings and registry settings, am familiar with a command prompt, etc. But it would be a major inconvenience if this computer just stopped working if I mess something up. I realize there is always a risk when updating the OS. But do you have any thoughts about the risk of doing a TPM workaround if I simply follow published instructions such as at the link you provided?
I would not recommend it. Ms might do an update that invalidates your system, which they have already done for some of the workarounds.
