Windows 11 TPM 2.0 and Asus Z170 Pro Gaming

[valant]

How can I enable or update to TPM 2.0 , so I can install Windows 11 ?

Probably you can't.
It seems I can't...
No TPM option in Bios nor TPM header on my motherboard

Bummer. Absolute Bummer.

[claudej]

Oh no ! you can
You have a TPM header, you just need to find such a fitting TPM module

Windows 11 finial release version won't require TPM. So if you have not needed one till now, you won't need one in the future.

Can you link to a Microsoft statement confirming this? You are free to speculate but do not state it as a fact unless there is official confirmation.

No I cant, it appears my information on this is incorrect.

Did find this article, but it confirms TPM 2.0
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3623...r-your-pc.html

Knowing the differences between a TPM 1.0 chip and a TPM 2.0 chip aren’t really necessary for the enthusiast PC owner, but Microsoft points out several differences: TPM 2.0 supports more sophisticated cryptographic algorithms, provides a more standardized experience, and, most importantly, can be integrated into a CPU.

In a Twitter post on Thursday, Weston pointed out that almost every CPU in the last five years includes a TPM, either called the Intel PTT, or the AMD PSP fTPM. Microsoft has required such a TPM to certify PCs since at least 2015. However, you may need to go into your BIOS and enable that functionality. Robert Hallock, director of technical marketing at AMD, also noted that most PCs already support a first-gen TPM.

Editor's Note: Microsoft removed the "soft floor" mentioned earlier in this article. This means that the TPM 1.0 has been removed from the minimum requirements, and only TPM 2.0 PCs will be eligible for Windows 11.

or you could do this and get around it

I have a Maximus VIII Extreme and Intel PTT is enabled in the BIOS but it is not actually exposed as a menu item while in the BIOS. Either Microsoft is going to have to reverse this or ASUS is going to have to update a whole lot of BIOS for hundreds of mobos.

Z170 Pro Gaming / Aura have firmware TPM 2.0. You only need to switch to it in UEFI. I just done it.

I have a z170 pro gaming mobo aswell with bios 3805 along with an i7 6700k. Go into the bios-> advanced mode-> advanced tab-> PCH-FW configuration. You can either select discrete TPM ( which is no TPM) or Firmware TPM (which is TPM 2.0 as far as i can tell). I highly suggest tho to not change it to firmware TPM until its really necessary since this feature does something with encryptions like bitlocker etc.
