If you've switched on your PC's TPM in the BIOS, then you can check what it's capable of using the Windows Powershell. (Image credit: Microsoft) How can I check if TPM 2.0 is enabled? Your CPU will still need to be on that aforementioned list though, so if it isn't, there's not much point adding a TPM separately.

You need to check your motherboard manual to make sure there is an SPI TPM 2.0 header present, and then it's a case of tracking down a compatible module.

One option, if your CPU doesn't natively support TPM 2.0, is that you can add a separate physical module to your machine to upgrade its support. If your processor is on there, then you're good-or at least your CPU is not the reason Windows 11 refuses to play ball. Microsoft has produced a full list of supported CPUs, here's the Intel list and the AMD CPU one. So all of its Zen 2 and Zen 3 processors are also covered. Essentially though, Intel has supported TPM 2.0 on all its chips since Skylake, and on selected chips up to two generations before that.ĪMD has supported TPM 2.0 since the Ryzen 2500, with its fTPM (Firmware TPM). Intel has various technologies that offer TPM 2.0 support, under a variety of names, but keep an eye out for PTT (Platform Trust Technology) and IPT (Identity Protection Technology) before trying to turn on TPM 2.0 in your UEFI/BIOS. You may need to enable TPM 2.0 in your UEFI/BIOS, but there's a very good chance it's there. If your machine is relatively up to date (less than four years old), then there's a very good chance that you do, although pedants may argue over whether that's true hardware TPM support or the firmware based TPM, which is basically offered by your CPU.
