On AMD, you'll be looking for a setting called 'AMD fTPM' to enable, while on Intel it may be labeled something like 'Intel Platform Trust Technology'. This, again, will differ depending on your motherboard and whether you're using Intel or AMD. The first thing to do is make sure you have updated your BIOS to the latest version for your particular PC or motherboard.įrom there, you'll need to go into it when you start up your PC (usually with the DEL, F12 or F2 keys) and locate the TPM settings. And if you're not particularly computer savvy it can be terrifying. Millions and millions of people are about to have a WTF moment unless Microsoft somehow streamlines this or changes the requirements.īIOS and UEFI menus aren't difficult to deal with, but if you've never looked at one it's a daunting prospect. The bad news is that unless you have a hardware module it won't be enabled and that means you have to go diving into your BIOS. At least, if you're using a PC built from 2016 on. The good news is you probably have TPM and you can upgrade to Windows 11.
