Comment on Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?
Apothecary@lemmy.world 9 months agoI have an INTEL I9-10850K installed on a MSI MAG Z490 mobo that I bought in 2020 and neither have A TPM.
What is your definition of ‘up to spec’?

30 seconds on Google would’ve answered your question.
The TPM is part of the Intel Management Engine.
In your motherboard UEFI firmware, goto Security - Trusted Computing and enable Security Device support.
Et voilà.

Yep, you’re right I can enable it.
I was going off of MSI’s spec page for my motherboard and it says it has a connector for the TPM module so I assumed that meant it wasn’t there by default. Image

To quote Under Siege 2 “assumption is the mother of all fuck ups”.
3 years, dude! 😁
Enjoy giving Windows 11 a proper spin. I recommend choosing “English (World)” as the language/location, then you don’t get any of the post install bloat / sponsored apps, etc installed too. Then when you log in, just change your locale to the correct one if you want to use the Microsoft Store. Or don’t, if you want that to remain disabled.
