Motherboard ASUS without TPM but featuring a TPM connector, preparing for Windows 11
Hi, I see your motherboard lacks an integrated TPM chip but has a TPM connector. For the ASUS H170M-PLUS, the issue is that you can't locate the official ASUS TPM chip there. You found a single GbTMP2.0S chip with 14-1 pins matching your connector, though the manual doesn’t list the exact model. Your questions are clear: 1) Will this alternative chip work with Windows 11? 2) Is it necessary for H170M-PLUS? (ASUS manual)
Hello, you're using the same motherboard, so you likely don't need a TPM chip unless your system requires it for security features. Since it's not listed in the BIOS, you probably won't need to purchase one unless specified by your device's requirements.
