Microsoft: why TPM chips are required for Windows 11

Microsoft: why TPM chips are required for Windows 11

When running Windows 11 a TPM (Trusted Platform Modules) chip will become mandatory, the purpose of TPM 2.0 is "to protect encrypted keys, user credentials and other confidential data behind the hardware so that malware cannot access or cause any damage to that data.

It can be used to encrypt drives using Windows or prevent password attacks, for example. Since 2011, TPM 1.2 has been present in computers and business equipment . By requiring Trusted Platform Modules on common users' computers, Microsoft aims to raise the level of security seen in businesses. In a recent survey by the owner of Windows, it was found that firmware attacks have increased. "Our report showed that 83% of companies suffered a firmware attack on their computers and only 29% are investing resources to protect this critical layer, " says David Weston.

Since Windows is the world's most widely used computer operating system, it's easy to be the worst-hit platform. An estimated 1.3 billion Windows 10 computers are in use today. Also according to the site, Microsoft has been asking partner manufacturers (OEMs) to sell their products with the TPM chip since Windows 10 , and it's only now demanding this from the common user for the new version.

Due to the TPM 2.0 chip requirement, there is already a great search for this component on the Internet. According to Shen Ye, director of HTC, thanks to Windows 11, the search for the modules sent prices skyrocketing to $ 75 in 12 hours. TPM support can be enabled through the BIOS of most current systems and remember that on some motherboards the functionality may be called "PTT" on Intel systems and "fTPM" on AMD platforms.

I have a version that is said to be the beta of windows11, she accepted the bypass ok!
i7 4th generation here (Haswell) B85m-e / BR, WITHOUT TPM / TPM2.0 or PTT.

@DanielRX It's possible that this dev version does not have TPM requirement implemented yet.

Well, that isn't exact.
It is true that the features you mentioned are integrated, however the core feature of TPM is somewhat connected to digital rights management, e.g. encrypting data of streaming services, so the user on the machine cannot sniff the data that he/she is streaming. This is quite controversy and probably will not be suitable with some rights, at least in the EU.

Since Windows 11 is more or less a Feature-Update to Windows 10, which is just rebranded, TPM on Windows 10 was only optional up until now. Thus there is the theory, why they rebranded the "update" to Windows 11, making a new OS out of it, because this allows Microsoft to define new requirements without hassle.

However, it is yet to be seen how exactly Microsoft is going to really force it though. On my VM I could install the leaked version of Windows 11 without any issues and with TPM disabled.

Edit: TPM has received quite some critic and I am also against it, because it limits the users access to the machine and may even harm you more than it gives any benefit. The HASH-Keys are also generated beyond any standards, which means the encryption created by TPM is very trivial at this point. Also if something breaks in combination with TPM, you may loose access to all your Data or irrepressibly damage your hardware. By enabling TPM, you also basically grand access to organisations like the NSA taking control of your machine without you even knowing it, since - as I've already mentioned - the HASH-Keys are stored beyond the user's range that is also not even tied to any certified standards - the encryption is basically non-certified, thus not trusted.
I advice not to use TPM at all.

then try to install there and you will see that there is a need and it is mandatory to use the system TPM2.0 or fTPM, what I did there was mix the official Windows10 ISO with the Windows11 Beta ISO, so I was able to do the Bypass, if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't be able to install this version on the 4th generation i7, try there and let me know later.

Very easy to do. Modify the ISO and replace appraiserres.dll with the win 10 version of the file.
