One of the biggest controversies that arose when Microsoft launched Windows 11beyond having promised that Windows 10 would be the last great version, it was the need for a TPM 2.0 chip as an essential requirement to be able to use the latest Microsoft operating system. This measure, which sought greater security against certain attacks, meant that many users with not very modern equipment were left unable to update to Windows 11, or perform a clean installation of the system.
Now, 4 years after the arrival of Windows 11, Microsoft has decided remove TPM 2.0 requirement to install the latest version of your operating system and will allow you to upgrade to this version without this module.
Nevertheless, installing Windows 11 without TPM 2.0 will mean the loss of support from Microsoft, since the company itself warns in its web with the following message:
“This computer does not meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11—these requirements help ensure a trusted, higher-quality experience. It is not recommended to install Windows 11 on this computer as it may cause compatibility issues. If applicable When you install Windows 11, your computer will no longer be compatible and you will not be able to receive updates. If damage occurs to your computer due to lack of compatibility, it will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. By selecting Accept, you acknowledge that you read and understand this statement.
The company therefore continues to support port TPM 2.0 as a necessary security system for Windows 11 and subsequent versions, at least if it wants to continue having support and updates.
