What is a TPM?
TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module. The module is designed to implement a greater level of security with your windows 11 machine.
Windows 11 will require all machines to have TPM 2.0 technology. Some systems may be limited by this if they are to old as they will not support TPM or can only support up to version 1.2.
Microsoft has published an official list which indicates what CPU's will support TPM 2.0.

I have an older machine but still want to install Windows 11
There is however a workaround to this problem. You can fit your system with a dedicated TPM Module. What this means is if you have an older system with a TPM port on your motherboard, you can install a newer TPM Module that supports version 2.0. Thankfully we have made a video that will show you how to enable TPM and how to install a TPM Module.
