I just finished reading the owners manual for that board and the answer to your question is NO. It does not come with a TPM preinstalled. It does have a socket for a TPM but it doesn't come with it. Check out page 35 of the owner's manual if you want to check for yourself. Take care and good luck. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/E7C95v1.8.pdf

On most platforms, the TPM is integrated into the CPU rather than the motherboard. You can opt for a third-party TPM paired with the correct daughterboard, though typically the built-in firmware TPM suffices for common tasks (such as storing BitLocker keys or simply enabling Windows 11 installation).

TPM has been integrated into firmware for most of the last ten years, eliminating the need for any additional modules.

It's unclear why they maintain support for modules. The main advantage seems to be moving a module between different motherboards, though since each brand uses unique modules, this is only possible with matching hardware.
