Windows 11 IoT LTSC 2024 arrives making TPM and Secure Boot optional — lower storage requirements, too

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I've been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.
I've been curious about people who have been disabling the TPM. Where are you storing your disk encryption keys?
veracrypt is a thing, encrypting drives does not need TPM.
Just boot using the good old Master Boot Record for a clean solution (The Veracrypt documentation gives a good overview). Veracrypt works with EFI too, but the EFI partition itself cannot be encrypted. You can even create a hidden OS, if you are forced to give out your password, theres still plausible deniability.
Thanks for the Veracrypt reminder. Adding that to my stuff to setup and document list.
Sometimes Bitlocker really pisses me off.
