TPM?
TPM?
Potentially, yes. There really is no sense in worry about any of this now though as 1.) Windows 11 isn't out yet. 2.) We're going to get more information as the release date gets nearer. You may find, like what @flibberdipper mentioned, your platform has a method of adhering to the requirements through other means that just aren't made clear yet or enabled. Prior to yesterday I had no idea what TPM was but I spent yesterday researching the topic in depth (there is an extensive Wikipedia page). TPM has been a thing for over 15 years and PC's have been shipping with them for at least that long. Some hardware manufactures just don't always feel the need to include them and that's on them. Microsoft's decision to start making use of them is just progress on the security front which is inevitable.
My configuration includes a Core i5 1035 G1 (10th gen), 1Ghz base clock, 3.6 or 3.7GHz max, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce MX350 GPU with 2GB VRAM, and a SKHynix NVME SSD of 512GB. I'm planning to test this setup with the software you mentioned. Updated: I confirmed TPM 2.0 is installed and Windows 11 is ready! Edited June 26, 2021 by stefanmz TPM verified.
I just turned it on from the BIOS and everything is working well so far on Windows 10, ready for an update.
My CPU is Intel, so it seems AMD likely has its own discrete TPMs, which probably are on the motherboard.
I’m setting up the initial developer preview of Windows 11. During BIOS setup I discovered Intel Platform Trust Technology but TPM.msc shows an AMD TPM. Does that indicate two TPMs—one firmware-based and another dedicated? I also had to turn on Secure Boot, and my NVMe SSD still used legacy boot. I converted the MBR to GPT using mbr2gpt.exe and command prompt, enabled UEFI in BIOS and Secure Boot. The experience was a big step toward modernizing my PC. Just wanted to note that if anyone faced issues with Secure Boot, this might be helpful. Welcome to Windows 11—hope everyone gets the upgrade and avoids buying cheap TPMs online.
