Are you sure it doesn't have PTT? AFAIK recent-ish intel CPUs should have TPM support using the trusted computing capabilities of the CPU itself, without the need for a discrete TPM chip.

Microsoft has clarified on Twitter of all places that TPM 2.0 isn't the only requirement. It must be 8th Gen Intel or 2nd Gen Ryzen or newer regardless of whether it has a TPM.
But no one actually cares if it meats the requirement. What matters is only if it runs. Unless you need some kind of MS verified system.

The fact is the leaked version runs on a 10 year old toster. the only limit is 64-bit CPU.

What CPUs have TPMs?
>Firmware TPMs are firmware-based (e.g. UEFI) solutions that run in a CPU's trusted execution environment. Intel, AMD and Qualcomm have implemented firmware TPMs.
