![]() TPM 2.0 processors are now a requirement for Windows 11 as they are used to power many of the security features in the operating system. While some motherboards have dedicated slots that users can install a TPM module, since 2013, Intel and AMD built firmware TPM technology into many of their CPUs that perform the same functionality as a TPM 2.0 processor.įor Intel processors, the built-in TPM 2.0 is called Intel Platform Trust Technology (Intel PTT), and for AMD, it is called AMD Platform Security Processor. When Microsoft first announced Windows 11, one of the biggest surprises was the new requirement that computers would need a TPM 2.0 security processor to install or upgrade to the new operating system.įor those unfamiliar with trusted platform modules (TPM), they are a dedicated security processor used to perform hardware-based cryptographic functions to secure encryption keys and prevent tampering with hardware drivers and the boot process. ![]() To explain what this means, it is important to give a bit of a background on TPMs and why they are required by Windows 11. ![]() ![]() ASUS has released BIOS updates for over two hundred motherboard models to automatically enable the built-in TPM 2.0 security process so that users can upgrade to Windows 11. ![]()
