tpm is on the motherboard
fTPM: A Software-only Implementation of a TPM Chip - Microsoft Research
Commodity CPU architectures, such as ARM and Intel CPUs, have started to offer trusted computing features in their CPUs aimed at displacing dedicated trusted hardware. Unfortunately, these CPU architectures raise serious challenges to building trusted systems because they omit providing secure...www.microsoft.com

did you run the test?
so far I read it PTT(ftpm) came out on 4th gen. and on vPro.
and only skylake and later have 2.0 support
But does such a module exist that works with such an old motherboard? The ones that work with 8th gen and up motherboards, may not work with older ones. Each board manufacturer also has their own modules, so not all i7-3770 motherboards are equal. If it's a prebuilt, that also adds the complication that you have to figure out who made the motherboard and whether or not any of the modules that you might be able to buy today will work with it.An i7-3770K system CAN be compatible with Windows 11.
SOME of the motherboards for that CPU have TPM headers. AFAIK, you just have to buy a compatible TPM 2.0 module, enable it in the UEFI/BIOS (along with secure boot) and Windows 11 should work. Just check your motherboard manual.
I wouldn't do anything YET as requirements may change.
I know there are different TPM header types (20-1 and 14-1..) but I don't know if there are other requirements. Such as a specific module for Asus or whatever. Probably generic, but I don't trust Internet answers (I know I'm giving one).
Yes, many Z390 boards of that generation supports TPM 2.0., you can do a web search.. I was surprised but my my i7-3770k on my Intel Extreme Z390 board installed Win 11 no prob and looks great for such an old system, I still use it as a Plex server...
Win 11 on that system may not last beyond the Preview.Yes, many Z390 boards of that generation supports TPM 2.0., you can do a web search..

MS remove the compatible windows 11 test tool.
it is still work in progress
And you installed Windows 11 no problem because preview builds don't check for a TPM.
