Windows 11 has been officially announced by Microsoft despite having been told in the past that Windows 10 would be the last. It was leaked early and many screenshots and much speculation was made but with the official announcement what we saw was more polished and more detailed than the leak showed.
There is some nice improvements to be had such as better window tiling (although they aren’t the first like they claim). It also sports better handling of windows on disconnected monitors as well as a fancy new UI.
But at what cost. The system requirements state that the hardware must support TPM 2.0. Or the Trusted Platform Module. Does your Windows 10 PC have this already?
The easiest way to check is to press Windows key + R to open the run dialog.
In the run dialog type:
tpm.mscA screen will open up after a moment that will either confirm the module is active or it will say that it is not active.
What to do if it says it’s not available?
Don’t immediately stress if this tells you that you do not have the TPM.
If you’re PC was made in the last few years chances are it will have the support but it is disabled by default in the system BIOS.
