![]() ![]() ![]() To find it, you’ll have to root around through the UEFI of your PC to turn it on. In some motherboards it’s called Intel Platform Trusted Technology (PTT). In this motherboard, for example, it’s just called TPM. On this particular motherboard, it means flipping it from discrete to firmware.ĭepending on the motherboard or laptop maker, finding this setting will vary. As we said, that means you either go out and buy the appropriate TPM module and plug it into the header, or you simply flip on the firmware TPM already built in the 8th-gen CPU. This throws up a flag in Microsoft’s Windows 11 requirement check, saying you need a TPM 2.0 is enabled. For example, on an 8th-gen Core i7 PC, we found the TPM support in its default state of “discrete”-which, as with most consumer desktops, means ‘off,’ because there was no optional TPM module installed. It is the latest version and an upgrade over TPM 1.2 which was released way back in 2011. Windows operating system also uses it for file and disk encryption along with BitLocker. While support for the TPM on a 7-year-old PC to run Windows 11 is going to cause hand-wringing for the next six months, even newer PCs can have troubles. It is a hardware module that is used for secure boot and checking system integrity. If it weren’t for the problem of the TPM needing a firmware update it seem that installing a TPM is not a problem.The consumer 11th-gen laptop (left) uses Intel’s embedded TPM, while the business-focused 8th-gen laptop (right) features a discrete TPM. The answer to my original question about installing a TPM into a computer already loaded with Windows 10 is that it is possible. More information about this problem is given here: After agreeing re-paste the link and try again), see the link at: The warning referred to eventually leads to “ADV170012 | Vulnerability in TPM could allow Security Feature Bypass” (You may be redirected after agreeing to Microsoft’s terms for viewing. The warning that something is wrong in Windows regarding the TPM is found in the Windows TPM “Snap-in” Management Console (type tpm.msc into Windows search). The fix to this problem will have to come from the maker of the TPM. ![]() This is not a problem with Logitech (webcam) or Microsoft (Windows 10). The problem is a security issue in the “Library” found in the TPM. The problem is…Įarly in October, 2017 Microsoft released an update that restricted some TPM’s (Trusted Platform Module) form working. Windows Hello will not run until Asus (the name on the TPM chip, but manufactured by Infineon) releases a firmware update. I discovered that I hand a problem after Windows 10 booted. I installed the TPM and it appeared in the UEFI in an activated state. ![]()
