Just asking...is there any benefit to updating to TPM2.0 (using the Dell utility on a i7-6700 system) on an otherwise ineligible win 10 system before (or after) using RUFUS to go to Win11?

TPM 2.0 just adds a tiny bit more protection against very specific types of malware, and there's really no downside to installing it, so if I can, I install it.
That said, this decision is entirely orthogonal to the Win11 upgrade, from a technical point of view, e.g. TPM 2.0 is more secure than TPM 1.2 underneath either Win10 or Win11. The original Win11 requirement for TPM 2.0 was just to spur hardware upgrades.
We should have a little contest to find the oldest system capable of running W11. This guy says he runs it on a late XP era machine:

I have a 2012 mac mini (now running lubuntu very well) I could try it on, but it only has 4gb hard-soldered ram, so I doubt it could run anything so bloaty as W11.
I have Hp g1 that normally runs W8.1. I'm pretty sure that will load W11.
What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs
When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it?

I did the TPM update, then the RUFUS. All worked great, and windows 11 updated also. So all good, thanks!
