Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.
Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.
I 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 CPU.
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.
