Running Windows 11, and wanting to upgrade my hardware. (TPM, Secure Boot)

It does not matter on the same install either. TPM is mostly used just as a "shortcut" for authentication functions.

 

If you have bitlocker drive encryption setup you will need your recovery key for the first boot, then everything back to normal.

If you had Windows Hello set up for credentials you'll need to set it up again the first time as well.

 

That's about it for your usual user setup.

Im Running windows 11 right now and I pretty much enjoy it so far. It was a hazzle for me to get the tpm to work since im using an AMD CPU ( 2700x ). At the moment I have all my upgrade parts ready, but someone from work told me that the tpm stores their values into the cpu and if you switch cpu's its going to cause you issues with windows 11. I dont think this is true, but now im really doubting myself since im ready to replace these parts. The cpu i am upgrading to is a ryzen 9 5900x and gpu is from gtx 1080 to a rtx 3090 ti oc. 

 

Would this even matter even if im going to reinstall windows 11?

If you're reinstalling the OS, I'm pretty sure this does not matter.

Would it be necessary to reset the tpm and secure boot too? ( for a clean install )
