Windows 11 on Predator Helios 300 (Predator G3-572)?

Hi, I have Predator Helios 300 (Predator G3-572) with an i5-7300HQ processor and 16 Gigs of RAM, but the Microsoft PC Health check shows that I'm not eligible for Windows 11. Then, with further research, I understood that the TPM needs to be 2.0, which is currently not offered as of now by Acer. Are there any possibilities for a Bios update or I am screwed with my perfectly great laptop, not eligible for Windows 11? Am I missing something? Please let me know. Thanks in Advance:)

Note that if your processor isn’t on the list, it might not be the end of the world. It might just work anyway, Microsoft might change the list later, or there might be workarounds. To check out Microsoft’s documentation on supported CPUs in Windows 11, you can find out more here.

Also, the "Microsoft PC Health check" is only a guide and there are reports that it has a few bug, see here "PC Health Check App indicates compatible PC's are not compatible with Windows 11, is this a bug?" as its the same as when Win-10 came out and allot of computers didn’t have the compatibility that Microsoft considered as suitable but they were. With Win-11 I don’t know if you will be able to upgrade as a “Free option” like it was with Win-7 to Win-8 and then to Won-10, just wait and don’t panic as and if you look at the Acer systems that are compatible from Microsoft for a Win-11 upgrade from Win-10 they list the “Free upgrade to Windows 11” (when available) with the low spec Acer Swift 3 that has the 8GB RAM and comes with the AMD Ryzen 3 - 4300U CPU (4 cores, 4 threads, 2.7GHz to 3.7GHz, L2-2MB, L3-4MB,) that has the AMD Radeon Graphics integrated and its GPU Cores count is 5, so it’s a pretty average spec computer and your Predator G3-572 is above that. 

These are the minimum Windows 11 requirements.
