TPM support

[noveske]

Trying to prepare for windows 11. Noticed TPM 2.0 is required. Executed runtime tpm.msc and nothing found.

Assume that means no TMP chip installed because my other desktop shows tech information. So what are the options other than replace motherboard/ buy new PC with all new software licenses.

Hello
the official version of windows 11 at the time of writing this answer has not yet been released, unless I'm mistaken!
Don't rush, any new version has these problems, wait at least a little bit before you start
Check everywhere if there are problems after installation or not!
For tpm 2.0, there are many sites that are starting to talk about it.
You can start by checking the general compatibility with the microsoft tool

another tool given by the expert @WAWood gives more information (thanks to him for this find
https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/releases

for TPM 2.0 to be activated with bios uefi, if it is possible
"In the search box or with the Windows + R key combination, we type tpm.msc."

look at the bottom, where the TPM version is shown. If we see version 2.0, our computer should be compatible with Windows 11 in this section.

possibly check for product updates

update

I read that it would be more or less possible to add a module, but nothing concrete, nothing found for the moment
The security module, being generally integrated into the processor, there is no way to change this for many computers, incompatible processors!
The requirements for windows 11 may change, in the meantime avoid spending unnecessary money.

with the Windows + R key combination, we type tpm.msc."

on one of my HP desktop I get detailed tpm data

on the other nothing found — assume no chip installed.

it appears having this security function will become increasingly important.  

you are correct it’s not required until it is … why I’m looking into it ahead of the release.  It also appears from the chatter I’ve seen that these potential requirements may delay official release until next year because of the non business community impact. 

thanks for your time and efforts in responding
