> I'm sure they'll loosen the restriction of having TPM enabled. That seems to be the only limiting factor.

They've added restrictions since: 8th gen Intel Core or 2nd gen AMD Zen required.

That's just some list in the documentation, mostly intended for OEMs building new computers with pre-installed Windows.

NO WAY there will be literal cpuid checks excluding earlier processors.

This is not the Windows Logo program, which is intended for OEMs.

There do not need to be any CPUID checks to exclude processors; just a random update will not work and Microsoft will shrug it off, well, that CPU is not on the supported list anyway.
