GIGABYTE Motherboards Feature TPM 2.0 + BIOS Function to Support Windows 11 Upgrade
Gigabyte announced that the BIOS of their series motherboards, including Intel X299, C621, C232, C236, C246, 200, 300, 400, 500 lineups, as well as AMD TRX40, 300, 400, 500 motherboards are TPM 2.0 ready, which can pass the upgraded Windows 11 OS. verification.
Windows 11 is the latest operating system from Microsoft®, and features dozens of exciting new functions and Android APP support to effectively improve productivity, system security, and gaming performance. However, most of the users might be confusing that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 support means they need a TPM module on board for Windows 11 upgrade.
In fact, TPM 2.0 hardware is not a must to pass TPM 2.0 verification. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable™ Motherboards are not only known for their world-renowned durability, but also play a leading role in product design, especially when it comes to the TPM 2.0 support in the BIOS. Lots of GIGABYTE Intel® and AMD motherboards can pass the TPM 2.0 verification of the Windows 11 by simply enabling the TPM-related function in the BIOS, on which Intel® X299, B250 chipset and above platform will be the Platform Trust Technology (PTT), and fTPM function on the AMD AM4 and TRX40 motherboards. By this advanced BIOS setting, GIGABYTE motherboards can pass the TPM 2.0 verification of Windows 11 to prevent TPM 2.0 support becoming an issue to users during their system upgrade.
The Windows 11 will be coming later this year, user can check for the compatibility and minimum system requirements via Microsoft® website. Certain features may require specific hardware and CPU support, please see details on system requirements.

This PC has no TPM of any kind, no UEFI, no secure boot, and has a Westmere-EP 6c/12 Xeon for a CPU. Windows 11 can run on a 12 year old Asus Rampage II Extreme (Jan 2009) PC, just like Windows 10 can. Microsoft may impede the installation process, but once the go-buy-a-new-PC impediments are circumvented, Windows 11 will run fine. I haven't installed any games yet. Battlefield V tomorrow perhaps. I got a GTX 1080 Ti in this machine, so why not?
