Windows 11: No Trusted Platform Module? Many AMD and Intel processors can run Microsoft s new OS without a dedicated TPM 2.0 chip

You do not need a dedicated TPM 2.0 chip to run Windows 11, contrary to Microsoft s system requirements. Instead, almost all modern AMD and Intel processors already meet Microsoft s TPM 2.0 requirement, and only a BIOS setting may be preventing you from upgrading your PC to Windows 11.

Microsoft s Windows 11 system requirements have caused a stir, not least because of the seemingly arbitrary processor limits. Microsoft also states that a machine must have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and a version 2.0 version at that. While many modern laptops have a TPM 2.0 chip, desktop motherboards do not. Anecdotally, our Gigabyte AORUS PRO WIFI X570 motherboard has a TPM header, but no TPM chip.
