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.

@DanielRX All right, you didn't mention from the start that you modified the ISO :-)

I am baffled. Not yet released, not yet proved that it's mandatory (ISO/registry hack) and yet people are stumbling over to get those TPM things.
Shows how we function, really.

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


final release will not have a kernel hard requirement, it'll still work on mbr/bios too.

this installer level block will be patched day 1.

Just use Win 10 until EOL date, by that time your current system is due for an upgrade anyways.

Don't waste money on scalped modules.
