The commodity desktop boxen that my day job buys have these already on board as we use them for BitLocker. I'd expect more that custom built equipment in households doesn't tho. Might have the option but the chip/card may be missing. I've already read (and spoken to an engineer) about a version that forgoes the TPM chip.

Hmmm...I thought Windows 10 was the last OS! Does this mean we have the anxiety yet again of "will our VFP apps work in Win<Next>" ???
It looks like effectively a large service pack, the UI has differences but the underlying architecture is the same. So I would bet the house that VFP will continue to work fine.
Windows 11 also requires a hardware security feature called TPM, and I doubt very much that many commodity desktop boxen from Dell and the like will have that feature. So I don't see Windows 11 being a feature of the corporate desktop for quite a while, as many companies have only just refreshed hardware for Windows 10.
