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.

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

Did you guys even read the article? "83% of companies suffered a firmware-based attack". Your answer to this is to break the OS protection against this lol.

There is no relatively modern CPU without TPM support you can just enable. Otherwise you can stay with perfectly fine Windows 10 for another half decade.

TPM isn't to prevent a firmware based attack.

Users should stop elitism. Especially when their maximum knowledge stops on IT support or active directory. Developers should have the upper hand on those matters. I do not think Microsoft developers have issues for their new OS to work with older hardware. Marketing and sales says otherwise.

Nothing to do with this point. The person I quoted said he installed it on a Haswell system and I pointed out he modified the ISO. Pretty sure this will not be doable by time of final release.
