7600k + TPM

[Psittac]

My buddies nephew wants a gaming computer for christmas and I've offered my custom loop 7600k + 1070 to him but I don't want it to be something that only lasts a year when win10 go eol.

 

How do I get a TPM module integrated into this machine?

 

Before I put effort into knocking the dust off it and getting it running I'd like to know first.  Thanks

There should be a TPM intergrated into the CPU. You may need to enable it in the bios though.

 

Its also pretty easy to bypass the tpm requirement on a free install too.

Check the motherboard specs to see if it has a TPM module connector. If it does then you can buy a module. They are around 20 dollars USD and up. The motherboard manufacture should have some for sale. You can install Windows 11 using Rufus without needing a TPM module.

Unfortunately, there's little benefit in upgrading the machine to Windows 11, even if you manage to bypass the TPM requirements. Microsoft has introduced additional restrictions that will be difficult to fully bypass in the near future, and many of the current workarounds have already been patched. It's better to either stick with Windows 10 or consider transitioning to Linux.
