hello it's ricardo and welcome back today i want to talk a bit about windows 11. now
recently i've upgraded my pc to an intel i9 and the motherboard is an asus rog strix
motherboard uh so a gaming motherboard and all pretty new and swanky so i was a bit concerned
when all these rumors came out that i may not be able to install windows 11 because my machine
might not have a trusted platform module or tpm chip on it now this is completely out of bologna
and i will show you why it is complete and better baloney because even though it's
turned off in the bios you can turn it on and i'm going to show you how
so finding this facility within the bios was a big sigh of relief and with a little bit of research i
found out that the trusted platform module or tpm for intel is something called intel ptt which is
intel's platform trust technology now in the bios by pressing delete and getting into my bios i was
able from the main menu to go to the advanced tab and this is where you're generally going to find
this facility to turn on ptt or tpm so the advanced tab that's what it's all about now you
see i've got it enabled with it disabled that's probably the default standard of all manufacturers
that have shipped their motherboards set it to enable however and you get the notice to pop
up that tells you exactly what it is intel ptt is a hardware tpm 2.0 implementation integrated
into intel processors now typically what's happened is that all machines
less than five years old approximately have had this built in not only intel chips but also amd
chips as well so you may well be very lucky i mean my old pc no that's got tpm on that
1.2 it's not going to be good enough i don't think microsoft specifically states they want
tpm 2.0 or equivalent so for me with this pc my intel i9 fantastic tick in the box there i
can enable it click on save my settings reboot the machine and i then get a security module
showing up in device manager now windows 11 does come with some quite stringent prerequisites i
mean a processor one gigahertz or faster ram four gigabytes you know system firmware this tpm module
or ptt module but a graphics card compatible with directx 12 and the definition display of 720p and
i think most of us have probably got something at least a little bit better than that now there used
to be a checker that was on the website for this but unfortunately that's been moved away it was
causing a bit more confusion how to enable tpm on your pc is also listed off the microsoft website
and you can see by going into the device manager you can also check where it is and how to enable
it and it also goes through brief sections on how to get into it in a generic bios method however
what they do say is that you can also check in the device manager the device manager lists
all the devices that are on your pc now a lot of us will know this although a lot of us will not
by going into device manager if you scroll down and just pass the processor
section you may well be able to see security devices now because i've already implemented my
ptt or tpm function in the bios this is showing up before i had done that when it was disabled
there was no such function there whatsoever so ticking the box for me as soon as windows
11 comes out i may well install it shall i wait for that first update who knows let me know in
