Another Windows 11 TPM/System compatibility question.

[Slazeus]

So I was looking to try the w11 insider stuff but it says my system is not compatible. I'm pretty sure it's because my motherboard lacks a TPM module. It does have a header though so I'm looking to buy one (when they're in stock for less than the ebay scalper prices).

 

My question is I know nothing about TPM modules is there a specific one I would need to buy? Also is there any other compatibility I need to check my system for before I buy one? Lastly I'm wondering if there was anything I missed with the w11 compatibility and my system, it should be compatible after I have the TPM module right?

 

 

My system:

 

CPU  : i7 8700k

MB    : Asus ROG Maximus X Hero

GPU  : Gigabyte RTX 2080

RAM  : 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 MHz

Your CPU has PTT/firmware TPM built-in. No need to buy a discrete TPM.

 

Go into your BIOS, and enable Intel Trusted Platform Technology. Usually under "Security".

What wavem2 said.  I have a 8700K also on an Asus Z370 Prime board.  Mine indicated that it was not compatible also until I changed the setting from 'Discrete TPM' to firmware TPM.  In my case the setting was under PCH Configuration/ PCH-FW Configuration in the bios.

I found it, it's all working now. That was much easier than I expected, like it when that happens! Thanks!
