Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ULTRA ATX TPM module is a secure chip module designed for enhanced system protection.
You’ll need a TPM upgrade kit for Windows 11. It’s designed to install the necessary hardware components. You can find these kits from authorized Microsoft retailers or certified tech suppliers. The process involves installing the TPM chip and updating your system settings. Let me know if you need help with the steps!
8th generation Intel processors now support Windows 11, with built-in TPM functionality. Intel refers to this feature as PTT.
Windows indicates I can't upgrade to Windows 11. My motherboard lacks a TPM module. Search your motherboard online and check the bottom headers. Between the 12V-GRB and COM lines, you'll find a TPM header. It isn't built into my CPU.
Your system includes a TPM built into the 8th Gen Intel CPU, so you won’t need an additional TPM module for the motherboard. Just enable it in the BIOS settings. I’m using Windows 11 on an i7-8086K with a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master board. On Peripherals, Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) should be turned on—by default it’s disabled. Also, ensure your BIOS is configured to support UEFI and that Storage Boot Option is set to UEFI unless CSM Support is active. Secure Boot must be enabled and will automatically activate when CSM Support is turned off.
Enter the shutdown button in BIOS, then restart. Confirm BIOS is current. If changes are required, update BIOS. Return to BIOS, disable CSM Support. Restart, turn on PTT, activate Secure Boot. Save settings and close.
Windows Boot Manager is working correctly. Are you currently using Windows 10? It seems that if you're experiencing issues starting now, your system wasn't properly configured for UEFI from the start—likely in a legacy mode instead. You probably need to reverse the changes that made it ready for Windows 11. Turn off PTT CSM Support and set it back to Enabled. While there are online solutions, I think the best approach is a fresh installation of Windows 11. Make sure to back up your important files, reset BIOS settings to support Windows 11, and then install the new OS.
