[SOLVED] 3770K TPM

[leonsk29]

Certain Intel CPUs include a firmware TPM. Does the Intel Core i7 3770K include a firmware TPM? I can't seem to find the info anywhere. Please help.

tpm is on the motherboard

I know, a physical TPM is on the motherboard, but I want to know if my CPU supports a fTPM.

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

No luck, you are right. Intel introduced 2.0 fTPMs in Skylake, so the 3770K is excluded. Thanks anyway.

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).

MS remove the compatible windows 11 test tool.
it is still work in progress

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.

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...

I wasn't asking about motherboard support for TPM, but if the i7 3770K includes a firmware TPM (fTPM). It doesn't. And you installed Windows 11 no problem because preview builds don't check for a TPM.

Win 11 on that system may not last beyond the Preview.

and that Win11 compatibility check tool was restored and revised near end of August 2021 and is now available to everyone, including non-insiders in mid-September 2021.

And you installed Windows 11 no problem because preview builds don't check for a TPM.

that is not necessarily true as the later beta/preview W11 builds like 22000.132 and newer DO check for TPM during the Win11 setup phase - I know this because I downloaded one of those Win11 insider ISO images with build 22000.132 and tested the setup program myself - denies installation if there's no TPM found or disabled.
