HP Recommended
Product: Compaq Pro 6300 MT
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Yesterday was June 24, 2021 when MS presented Windows 11 with the requirement of having TPM v1.2 or better.

Today, MS changed the minimum TPM requirement from v1.2 to v2.0.

That decision effectively disqualifies a lot of machines manufactured before 2015, including my own Pro 6300 (circa 2012) with TPM v1.2.

My v1.2 module was invisible to TPM.MSC even after I enabled the EMBEDDED SECURITY DEVICE in the BIOS.

It was still invisible to DEVICE MANAGER until I removed device INFINEON TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE from the list and then did hardware scan whereby TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE 1.2 magically appeared under Security Devices and TPM.MSC now dispays the module as v1.2.

There is a HP TPM Configuration Utility (SP81900) which appears to allow conversions from v1.2 to v2.0, but this utility only works with more recent machines.

Can HP come up with a work around to upgrade the TPM of older machines to v2.0 thereby allowing these machines to migrate to Windows 11?

 Or can HP convince MS to reduce their minimum TPM requirement back to v1.2?
