After Microsoft released the Windows 11 operating system, this week many users who like early adopters saw mandatory prompts for the Trusted Security Module (TPM) when they ran the System Upgrade Checker. This means that in addition to the new user interface (UI), Android application support (WSA subsystem), stylus interaction and other experience refreshes, Microsoft pays more attention to the security improvements that Windows 11 can bring.
Therefore, there is no room for negotiation on the support of TPM 2.0. It is reported that TPM is a chip that can store content such as encryption keys and account credentials, usually related to PC motherboards or processors, but not all system users in recent years have chosen to enable it.
Another major focus of the controversy is that Microsoft is somewhat vague in its description of Windows 11 compatibility. Until the company’s director of enterprise and operating system security David Weston published a new article on the Windows Security Blog:
In the future, PCs will need to use this modern hardware root-of-trust to help defend against common and complex attacks, such as ransomware and complex attacks by heavyweight hacker groups. By forcing the built-in root of trust, Windows 11’s requirements for TPM 2.0 will also help improve hardware security standards.

Based on this, by default, any system certified for Windows 11 will include a TPM 2.0 chip. It will be part of a more comprehensive set of security tools, including the ability to use Windows Hello, and support for hardware-level mandatory stack protection on Intel/ AMD systems, and such PCs can be used out of the box.
David Weston added: The security requirements for the new hardware that comes with the new version of the Windows operating system are designed to build a stronger foundation that is more resistant to attacks against certified devices. We are well aware of the effectiveness of this program-PC product with core security will be twice as resistant to malware infection as before.
It is currently known that OEM manufacturers, including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Panasonic, etc., will provide a solid support for TPM 2.0 for the new system. As for how the consumer PC DIY market will develop, it remains to be seen.
