    TPM Question - arising from discussions on eleven forum


    Hi folks
    Could one problem be that in order to install latest versions of W10 that TPM needs to be enabled whether or not you use secure boot etc.

    I did read somewhere that TPM is required - even if not used - for the latest versions of W10 and those who don't have trouble installing might have TPM enabled by default in the BIOS.

    There's some discussion over at eleven forum on this TPM issue - although I managed to create W11 and many W10 versions in Virtual machines by having TPM disabled.

    I've got an INTEL laptop where I can disable TPM - so I'll have a go with that and try and install say the W10 co-release from scratch to see if there's any problems.

    I've also got an AMD desktop where latest versions of W10 wouldn't install - but I had TPM disabled. I'll have an experiment later to see if enabling it makes any difference.

    Note - only experimenting in UEFI mode - no secure boot etc.

    Cheers

    There's a no need on TPM. Windows can install or boot in an TPM-less system.
    I have an TPM-less PC so it is no way to enable TPM or there was no TPM settings but Windows installed and booted.

    The leaked W11 ISO requires TPM/SB to install, but does not need it to run. This may just be because it's an internal Dev build, not intended for public release. Whether TPM will still be a requirement when W11 is eventually launched remains to be seen.

    It can be installed on any machine by replacing the install.wim of the W10 install media with the one from the W11 ISO.

    TPM for Win 11


    I have a Gigabyte Aorus x570 motherboard. It has a TPM 2.0 header, but no chip.
    I have ordered the chip (the mobo manual gives its Gigabyte part number).
    However, if I run the new W11 checker tool it tells me that my PC is unsuitable for Win 11
    But if I just enable TPM in the UEFI, the checker tool tells me that my PC IS suitable for Win 11, DESPITE THER BEING NO TPM CHIP in the header.
    ???

    You don't need the TPM module since you can enable fTPM (firmware TPM) in the BIOS
