Do I really need TPM to install Windows 11?
Yes and No. Yes. TPM is a requirement for Windows 11 to install. No, because Microsoft gives you a way to bypass it (if needs to be). But also that if you install Windows 11 on a machine without a TPM 2.0 chip, you’ll be taking a risk.
What is TPM?
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a small chipset that comes embedded with most modern laptops.
The TPM technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM.
Advantages of using TPM technology
- Generate, store, and limit the use of cryptographic keys.
- Use TPM technology for platform device authentication by using the TPM’s unique RSA key, which is burned into itself.
- Help ensure platform integrity by taking and storing security measurements.

If you are unsure whether your PC meets the minimum requirements for getting a free upgrade to Windows 11 from the existing Windows 10, you can either check with your PC Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or you can use the PC Health Check app to assess compatibility.
What if your laptop or PC doesn’t have TPM chipset?
According to Microsoft, if any of the hardware requirements are not met by your device, you may not be able to install Windows 11 on your device and might want to consider purchasing a new PC.
