Optiplex 7020 TPM 2.0 Windows 11 update
OptiPlex 7020 Small Form Factor (End of Life)
Been running Window 11 for sometime now, however due to the lack of TPM 2.0 I can no longer receive Windows updates. How do I fix this?

The CPU in this system is not supported by Windows 11 and never will be -- that said, there isn't evidence Microsoft has yet terminated updates for unsupported processors. A clean install of Windows, bypassing the CPU check may restore updates.
If the reason updates aren't working is limited disc space, a disc cleanup may work as well.
The bottom line is that sooner or later, MS will drop updates for unsupported systems -- the only permanent fix for that is a new system.
