Apart from this, Microsoft gained some attention after they lowered their minimum specifications to make the OS compatible with Intel Core X-series, Xeon W-series and Intel Core 7820HQ CPUs. The developers have not confirmed Windows 11 support for MacBooks via Boot Cam which suggests that there are no options for Apple users to install the OS officially. This could be possible after the TPM 2.0 requirement gets fulfilled in the future. 9to5mac also said that this is very difficult because Apple has never offered support for the TPM 2.0 on its devices.
