Requiring the TPM on all Windows 11 devices lets Microsoft set a security floor. The downside is that it might leave some people with otherwise capable computers behind.

While Windows 11 still requires that your PC support TPM 2.0, there is a workaround for computers without the required hardware, and Microsoft itself has offered up the solution.

What Is TPM 2.0? TPM 2.0 is the version of the TPM standard that was released in 2014 and was the most recent version of the standard when Windows 11 was released.

If your computer has compatible hardware, you can enable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) using the Windows 10 settings or the PC's boot sequence, and in this guide, I'll show you how.

ASUS has released BIOS updates for over two hundred motherboard models to automatically enable the built-in TPM 2.0 security process so that users can upgrade to Windows 11.
