Microsoft announced yesterday that Windows 11 will require a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip on existing and new devices. It was a major hardware change that took years to manufacture. But Microsoft's messy way of communicating has left many confused as to whether their hardware is compatible or not.

What is a TPM and why XO would you need it for Windows 11.Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) are chips that are either integrated into your PC's motherboard or added separately to the CPU,” explains David Weston, director of enterprise security and operating systems at Microsoft.

User credentials and other important information behind hardware barriers. so that malware and attackers cannot access or tamper with that data.It's all about security. TPM works by only offering hardware-level protection instead of software.

It can be used to encrypt disks using Windows features such as BitLocker, or to protect against password-based dictionary attacks. The TPM 1.2 chip has been around since 2011, but is generally used more commonly in laptops

and desktops for Businesses managed only by IT. Microsoft wants to bring the same level of protection to everyone who uses Windows, although it's not always perfect.
