Dec. 4 (Portaltic/EP) –
Microsoft has noted that the security standard known as TPM 2.0 is “non-negotiable for the future” of your operating system and, more specifically, of Windows 11which suggests that the end of Windows 10 support will force many users to renew their hardware.
With the arrival of the most current iteration of its operating system, Microsoft announced that it would require chips Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Secure cryptographic processors that provide computers with hardware-based security functions to prevent tampering.
His main purposetherefore, is to protect user credentials and other confidential data “behind a hardware barrier, so that malware and attackers cannot access or manipulate that data,” as explained by the director of Microsoft business and operating system security, David Weston, in his presentation.
So, many users questioned whether they could update their computers to Windows 11 due to limitations of its ‘hardware’just as you remember The Vergewhich also notes that virtually all modern computers now come with support for TPM 2.0.
The technology firm does not recommend using Windows 11 on a computer that is not fully compatible with this version of its operating system, as it may cause problems that affect its operation. It also does not guarantee receipt of updates, including security updates.
For this reason, it has established minimum requirements that all computers eligible for Windows 11 should meet and will notify users if their computer cannot support this version or is obsolete. However, with the introduction of TPM 2.0 as “a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows”, it suggests that with the end of support for Windows 10 – scheduled for October 2025 – and the arrival of Windows 11, an update to ‘hardware’ level.
Microsoft has pointed out in a statement than TPM 2.0 ““It is essential to counter current cyber risks” and that it “plays a critical role in improving data and identity protection on Windows devices, as well as maintaining the integrity of your system.”
He also recalled that it integrates with security tools such as BitLockerwhich uses this standard to securely store encryption keys and also supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), which can be combined with the platform module to strengthen data protection.
Likewise, he explained how devices that do not yet have TPM 2.0 can be prepared for Windows 11 and has proposed plan and budget for upgrades of your OS, as well as review security policies and procedures.
Finally, he concluded that the standard “is not just a recommendation, it is a necessity to maintain a secure and future-proof IT environment with Windows 11”, in addition to being “an important part of the Zero Trust strategy.”
