While these instructions help you to check whether the security module is available, you can also use the BIOS/UEFI method to access the motherboard’s firmware and enable both security features (if available). If neither of these security features is present or disabled, you won’t be able to install Windows 11 on your computer. In addition, you will also need to have a device with Secure Boot enabled. Update June 25, 2021: Windows 11 is changing the system requirements and it will require a TPM 2.0 chip to be present and enabled. On Windows 10, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a piece of hardware, usually (but not always) integrated into the motherboard that offers a secure environment to store and protect the encryption keys when encrypting the hard drive using features like BitLocker.Īlthough nowadays most computers already come with a TPM version 1.2, 2.0, or higher, it’s not always the case, and in many cases, the chip is available, but disabled in the motherboard’s firmware.
