No TPM 2.0 (or hack) required???

So this evening I popped a new SSD in a Toughbook CF-53 MK4 and began loading Windows 11 on it for something to become acclimated with the OS. I had loaded a VM earlier on my desktop and used the reg hack to bypass the TPM requirement and figured I'd have to do that here.

Nope!? Windows installed and activated without a hitch. Anyone else run into this??? Device Manager clearly states a TPM 1.2.
