Or simply use an easy workaround to disable the tpm check and set up an offline account. I literally have win11 running on an old T460.

Anything you need to do beyond Rufus or the like for installation? How did activation, auto updates, etc work?

No, you don't need anything else. Activation works the same if you log into your ms account or you can simply use https://massgrave.dev/ . I'm pretty sure there's a way to get your key and enter it manually but I haven't tried that yet.
