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.

Windows 11 doesn't require a beefy computer, but it does require TPM 2.0. This setting has caused a lot of confusion for PC builders who don't have a TPM chip.

TPM sniffing attacks, which we have covered before, are possible even on modern Intel-powered hardware running the latest Windows 11. Such attacks may however be preventable by Microsoft's Pluton.

With Windows 11 requiring TPM 2.0 right off the bat, some other software developers might also adopt it for their own security requirements.

If you are unsure of whether or not your computer is equipped with a TPM 2.0 chip then one of the easiest things to do is to check the computer’s age. TPM 2.0 was released in October 2014.

Buying a TPM 2.0 module for a 7th Generation Kaby Lake CPU may not be enough to get that CPU working under Windows 11. That's the state of things as of now, as near as anyone can tell.

If TPM 2.0 isn’t activated on your computer, though, your computer won’t run properly and certainly won’t run Valorant.

Riot will use Windows 11's TPM requirement to kick cheaters out of Valorant, but the technology could easily be abused.

TPM 2.0 is a “non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows,” said Steven Hosking, Microsoft senior product manager, in a Wednesday blog post.

Microsoft unveiled the hardware specifications for Windows 11 on Thursday, to some confusion. On Friday, the company explained how TPMs will secure the PC.
