TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is a security component that is designed to provide security for system data and protect important information on your computer. With the launch of Windows 11, Microsoft made TPM 2.0 activation mandatory for operating system installation and upgrade. In this article, we are going to show you how to enable TPM 2.0 in Windows 11.
Step 1: Check your system compatibility
Before you begin, make sure your system supports TPM 2.0. You can verify this by accessing the Windows “Settings” menu, clicking on “System” and then “About”. Make sure the TPM is compatible with your hardware.
Step 2: Check if TPM is enabled in BIOS
To enable TPM 2.0, you will need to access your computer's BIOS. Restart your computer and press the F2, F12 or Delete key, depending on your hardware manufacturer, to enter the BIOS.
Look for the “Trusted Platform Module” or “TPM” option and make sure it is enabled. If it is disabled, enable it and save the changes.
