Windows 11 definitely has its issues, but I don’t think the author of this article has sufficient knowledge to be writing articles about it.
MBR2GPT is baked into Windows and works great as long as you don’t have a jacked up partition layout.
Part of the reason that Intel 8xxx and Ryzen 2xxx processors are the baseline “requirement” is that they have fTPM 2.0 embedded in the silicon. It’s actually in the overwhelming majority of devices that meet the other requirements.
Microsoft doesn’t go out of their way to hide the fact that you can install Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
By providing and sanctioning a “limited” experience, Microsoft would then have to dedicate resources to supporting that experience. I’ve worked with tons of legacy devices that had odd quirks that required workarounds in Windows 10, so I can’t really blame them for wanting to limit how they spend their support resources.
I second MBR2GPT. With a guide it's quite straightforward to migrate from BIOS to EUFI but probably too scary for the average user.
