Windows 11 will require computers to have TPM 2.0, a dedicated chip or firmware used for device security, with several benefits for improved cryptography and encryption.
Many older machines don't have TPM 2.0, which became the hardware standard for Windows computers, posing a problem for users during the transition.
Microsoft states that "TPM 2.0 is not just a recommendation – it’s a necessity," indicating stricter restrictions on using Windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
Users can check the TPM status of their computer with Microsoft's PC Health Check app before the October 14, 2025 end of support date for Windows 10.
