Can I get a TPM module for desktop

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

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11
https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp
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

hi

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.

@deleon54 

The question is not CAN you; the question is SHOULD you!  Why?  Because modules that went for $20 USD are now going for $200 or more -- and that is IF you get a genuine one, not one of the fakes that scalpers are selling to profit on the PANICKING that folks are doing today for a Windows version that is not even going to be released for four months yet. Most sites that are legitimate sources are now showing these as Out of Stock.

 

I would wait -- as @Prométhée has so well indicated, the landscape can change a lot in a few months.

also even the OP did get an available TPM chip, that still does not mean the OP's computer will be eligible enough to run Win11.   saw this article from ExtremeTech

 

ExtremeTech - Some TPM 2.0-Capable Systems Are Still Ineligible for Windows 11

 

even some systems that do have TMP 2.0 but are using 7th generation Intel processors are not yet eligible for Windows 11.

it's best to wait until the final release of Windows 11 comes out and Microsoft publishes an updated list of system requirements including supported Intel & AMD CPUs.  MS may let those with 7th gen Intel and AMD Ryzen 1xxx (Zen 1) CPUs upgrade to Win11 but that remains to be seen
