There are really no "unsupported CPUs" except 32 bit. It's about the TPM, not which 64 bit CPU.
But the users can manually update them. Also you don't HAVE to use the nearly pointless TPM HW, which is why only some PCs will get automatic (=forced) updates. Win11 seems to be making mistakes of win8.x and removing even more user choice/configuration than Win10, which (esp Home Edition) is the worst for GUI and user configuration since Win 3.0 on Hercules.
On Vista you could turn off the junk. With Win ME on a new computer you could run Win98SE instead, if it was needed for games etc (assuming it wasn't for business which should NEVER have run Win9x, only NT 4.0 and then Win2K after Win3.x).
