News Where to buy a TPM 2.0 for Windows 11

One of the more frustrating Windows 11 hardware requirements is the potential need for a Trusted Platform Module 2.0 (TPM). Here’s a WvoRCGkA58c76dtBDtD7m3e on where to buy one.

"You never know, it could give Microsoft time to fix some of the 11 worst features of Windows 11. "

This right here. I don't have any plans to even consider upgrading to Windows 11, until the first equivalent of SP1 is released.

I'm writing this maybe for the 20th time already. The TPM as in a physical chip is not a requirement per se. Any CPU/chipset that would need a physical TPM is too old to meet the CPU requirement of Windows 11. With all the CPUs on the compatibility list there is a BIOS/chipset setting called PTT (blue team) or fTPM (red team). If you enable that and Secure Boot, you don't need a physical TPM to install and run it.

It's going to take Microsoft a lot longer than 22H1 to fix all of Windows 11's issues. It took Microsoft, in my opinion, 4 years to get Windows 10 to a state where you didn't have to worry about updates bricking the machine, files and programs disappearing, or otherwise causing issues, with 1909. Considering the amount of change for change sake in Windows 11 they're going to have to either undo or give the option to undo, such as what was presented in TH's Windows 11 issues article yesterday, I can't see 6 months or even 1 year being long enough to polish it.

no weather widget is a good thing really, tbh I forget I even have widgets until I read articles like this. Most of those things can be ignored/or gotten used to. Win 11 so close to 10 I always forget I have been on it for 2 months or more now.

Changing defaults needs an easier way, they really want people using Edge (had to look its name up, i don't use it). If you update from win 10 it should remmeber what defaults you use, but that would be too easy.

Yeah, you don't need to buy a TPM if your PC has PTT or fTPM in bios. I wish people would stop spreading that misinfo

Next version update for win 11 is in 1 year, no 6 monthly updates, lets them make actual changes and perhaps schedule will work as planned

Secure boot must be needed for clean installs as I have 11 installed and secure boot is still off

I have been waiting for something to happen. fTPM is enabled.

Is this some sort sort of hip new lingo I'm not aware of?

"Psst, I got the WvoRCGkA58c76dtBDtD7m3e on where to score some TPMs."

If you have an x570 motherboard purchased in the last ~26 months, you already have fTPM 2.0.

I have pretty much given up explaining this to people. Even so called technical people and writers constantly get it wrong. It is simple really. If you have a CPU that is officially supported then you HAVE a TPM, be it physical or CPU based, no ifs buts or maybes and even many older unsupported CPU's like 6th gen Intel also have it. I wish MS or somewhere like Toms would just publish a list of the CPU's and what TPM they have included. It seems even after many months many are still looking to buy a TPM when they don't need one.

There could be a edge cases, motherboards with header than don't support ftpm, I don't really know. 99% of us don't need the physical chip.

100% of those edge cases don't need Win 11.

The mb may not need it but the owners may want it. 2 different things

shiney overpowers logic

kinda curious if like gen2 intel will be able to pass tpm requirement using this?
what is the port to have this plugged in?
also is it possible in the future this TPM using USB2 connection? if yes then we might be able to used a lot older pc and still comply

I have a Gen4 Core i7 and i got TPM 2.0 module for my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H motherboard.
One weirdness though - BIOS does not support the module, You have to write a ticket to Gigabyte support so they can supply you with special BIOS including TPM support.
None of the BIOSes on their web page for my motherboard had it.
Of course i still have to bypass CPU requirement though.

It does mention both, but then it still goes on about buying a TPM. No need to bother, because any CPU where PTT or fTPM is not included, thus necessitating a physical TPM, will not be compatible anyway.

Interesting solutions IF you have a desktop. If you have a laptop or toy-blet you're SOL.

Planning to kick off a Build after Christmas and have a core i3 10100f and Mobo that supports 11th Gen as well. There is a discrete pins for a TPM - why? Given latest CPU all have it built in?

“PTT” does not appear on Intel CPU website specs. However all of following does. So which one is meant to say PTT? Would be nice if they hinted to TPM somewhere on CPU specs..
