Recently, some friends have asked the editor what is the TPM used by Microsoft Win11? The following is a relevant introduction to what exactly the TPM used by Microsoft Win11 is. Friends in need can come and learn more.
The full name of TPM in English is TrustPlatformModule, and its Chinese name is Trusted Platform Module. TPM is an industry standard. The latest standard is TPM2.0, which was formulated in 2016. The previous generation standard was TPM1.2, which was formulated in 2011.
Compared with TPM1.2, TPM2.0 has better compatibility and higher security. If you want to use TPM2.0, you need a security chip that complies with the TPM2.0 standard in your computer. Therefore, the complete TPM2.0 module can be understood as TPM2.0 standard + security chip.
The main function of the TPM module is encryption. It generates secret keys through the encryption algorithm built into the chip, which can effectively protect the computer and prevent illegal user access.
At the same time, because the TPM chip itself has storage capabilities, the fingerprint recognition and disk encryption functions of some computers will also be implemented through the TPM module.
If you want to confirm whether your computer has a TPM2.0 module, you can enter tpm.msc in the run command to open the TPM manager to check the status of the TPM module.
The TPM2.0 module is currently widely used in notebook computers and less in desktop computers.
Because even if the desktop computer supports the TPM2.0 module, it will be turned off by default. It is very simple to turn it on. Just turn it on in the motherboard BIOS. Usually in the advanced Advance options of the computer, taking the ASUS motherboard as an example, we enter the PCHFW settings of the advanced options. .
After entering, you can see the PTT option. Because domestic consumer-grade motherboards do not provide TPM chips due to policy reasons, they require processor support. PTT is the simulated TPM function of Intel processors.
The PTT option in the BIOS defaults to "Turn on independent TPM", which actually turns off the PTT option. The "Turn on" option below is the real turning on. Precautions will appear when turning on INTELPTT. After confirming that PTT is turned on, TPM2.0 will also be turned on.
Because there is no TPM chip, many consumer-grade motherboards will provide TPM slots. You can solve this problem by purchasing TPM2.0 modules separately. However, just because of the demand for Windows 11 this time, the price of TPM2.0 modules has skyrocketed recently. .
TPM2.0 is actually not a technology exclusive to high-end platforms. Many new computers now come with TPM2.0, which just requires manual adjustment.
" However, many old computers do not have TPM2.0. If you want to experience it, you need to upgrade. This kind of bundling sales will be disgusting. However, adding burden to users for the so-called data security obviously does not make most people buy it.
The above is all the content that the editor brings to you on what exactly is the TPM used by Microsoft Win11. I hope it can help you.
