[SOLVED] TPM 2.0?

[ultrarunner100]

Hey guys;
I've just read about Windows 11 launch later this year. So naturally, I downloaded and ran the tool from Microsoft to determine whether my PC is ready for Windows 11. It is not, due to the lack of TPM 2.0.

My system is:
Asus Tuf Gaming X570 Plus Wifi mobo
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU

I have been trying to learn whether or not I have a TPM chip or whether the Ryzen 7 CPU has the firmware to enable TPM 2.0
I access the BIOS, and did see something like 'fTPM' on the advanced menu, but was unable to select it. So, does that indicate that my CPU/Mobo cannot do TPM, or is there something else I need to do?

Note that I currently have dual-boot with Linux Grub 2.0 as the bootloader. I have Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 Pro installed.

Honestly, I'm not very excited about Windows 11, but I am curious to learn whether or not it will be an option for me with this build, or that I may need to wait until my next build - maybe by 2025 when Windows 10 support ends.

Thanks

Hey there,

Press windows+r, type in tpm.msc and press enter. It will pop up with a screen and will tell you what module is installed, or if it's missing.

It will look like this:

Then work from there.

edit: fTPM is the Ryzen version of TPM (Intel). Sounds like it's on by default if you cannot select/deselect.

You will need to buy the TPM module, as they are not included. Your connector is in the middle of the board. See page 1-10 of your manual.

Ah, so do any new mobo's have the TPM module? I was sure when reading about it, that most mobo's within the last two years and laptops would have it. I may be mistaken though.

Yeah, it looks like a lot of them do, particularly the AMD.

did you look on page 25 of your bios manual - https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...ME_PRO_TUF_GAMING_X570_Series_BIOS_EM_WEB.pdf
did you enable ftpm in here and try test again?

2 choices, discrete or firmware. Discrete is the chip but Firmware runs off CPU
it should work, cpu is supported and its how I enabled it on my X570
