Infineon TPM chip FW update

[DaedalusWren]

Hello, I was wondering why there has been no TPM update for the Infineon TPM chip in the HP Elitebook 8770W machines? I have 4 of these, that I use with my business along with an 8570w. Infineon, who makes the chips, say it is up to you, the manufacturer, to release the update, and that it is only if you want to release one. I have read, that you have said to others requesting the same thing, that the hardware is too old for an update. That was not the impression I got from Infineon. Sounds like you are just purposely retiring these great notebooks. The reason I only have Elitebooks from that time frame, is because there is nothing else as sturdy or more versatile, and when used with the large docking station fills all my needs, than I can find anywhere. So , these are my bread and butter, and now I find that in order to continue to get the security updates needed to run my Windows 11, it all comes down to a few lines of code that you are not releasing. I await your reply and reasoning for this ridiculous decision.

Thank you.

Hi:

This is a peer-to-peer forum.  We do not work for or represent HP, so you will not be getting a reply to your question from the company here.

Only the PC's on the link at the link below support a TPM 1.2 firmware update to 2.0.

Your PC is not on the list.

Even if your notebook could support such an upgrade, the processor falls WAY short of Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements of an Intel 8th gen core or newer processor.

I don't let Microsoft's W11 hardware requirements stop me from upgrading my PC's to W11.

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10 to W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have used several different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.

You'll have to repeat this procedure if and when Microsoft rolls out the new W11 builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

They have been releasing new W11 builds each October so far.

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

If things don't work right on W11, you have 10 days to easily go back to W10 as long as you don't delete the W1 upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.
