Windows 11 TPM 2.0 requirement has a special exception

Interest in Microsoft’s next big Windows release immediately turned into confusion over the hardware requirements to run Windows 11. One of the most controversial parts of that requirement is TPM or the Trusted Platform Module cryptographic hardware. Where it was previously considered a “soft floor” requirement, Microsoft has just raised TPM 2.0 as Windows 11’s hard requirement. It turns out that it might not be that hard at all since Microsoft is willing to waive it for certain special cases and markets.
TPM isn’t exactly new and many modern computers do have such a cryptoprocessor already pre-installed. It is, of course, a Microsoft technology, but most vendors do in order to meet Redmond’s minimum requirements for certifying certain systems as secure, especially for enterprise use. The problem, however, is that not all Windows PCs today have the latest TPM
Does Windows 11 really need TPM? Perhaps not
