Some Questions about Trusted Platform Moudle...

[Astrian]

I have the same problem described in the thread https://linustechtips.com/topic/1347749-how-to-get-tpm-20 with installing TPM 2.0. In shortly, the installer said TPM 2.0 chip is required and not mounted in my PC.

 

As I know, the TPM is required in Windows 10 since July 28, 2016. However, my PC builded in 2019 with MSI motherboard, and it should has TPM chip theoretically, or the Windows 10 cannot be installed in my PC (maybe?).

 

So... does anybody knows:

• Is this a bug contained in Windows 11 installer?
• Is TPM requirement suitable for both pre-build machines and self-build machines, or just suitable for pre-build machines?
• How can I check wether my motherboard has TPM chip or not?
• Are there any suggestions or something should be known if I must purchase a TPM chip to upgrade to Windows 11?

 

Thanks!

Yeah let me check if an unreleased and unannounced OS has that fixed. TPM is not required in Windows 10.

It appears quite a few people cannot read. A TPM is not required for Windows 10 however if you do have a TPM then it must be a v2.0 device for UEFI boot mode to work. You can always install without a TPM.

Did you mean that build a PC by self and install Windows 10 manually will not required TPM 2.0?

Microsoft said that TPM 2.0 is required after 2016... I'm confused!

It is required to be present in the hardware and enabled by default but it is not required to be enabled in order to install Windows.

Disabling TPM is up to you.

Well, I see...

Recent systems have a built-in TPM but it may be disabled in the BIOS by default.

Thanks! I just Googled some information about TPM setup in MSI BIOS and enabled it, and the PC passed the test by installer.

 

So the TPM 2.0 will be required in Windows 11 installer?
