You are right. I recently updated BIOS on the system board, it is now showing TPM 2.0 is enabled. Only CPU that is failing. I will not buy new parts until mine died.

Same here, I am not going to upgrade to Windwos 11 until my hardware dies, or microsoft starts supporting the CPU. I built my PC ~3 years ago with i7-7700k, motherboard, powersupply, 32kb ram, 2x Nvidia 1070 gpus. I don't have any issues for playing games, using Blender or doing heavy programming, etc.
