The TPM chip requirement gives a boost to a zero trust security approach, said Michael Montagliano, chief of innovation at ProArch, an Atlanta-based Microsoft Gold partner. Solution provider partners of Microsoft told CRN on Thursday that the move to require TPM is a win for improving security posture among customers. The disclosure comes amid an expectation that the TPM requirement will prevent many PCs from getting Windows 11. “Devices that do not meet the hard floor cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, and devices that meet the soft floor will receive a notification that upgrade is not advised,” Microsoft said in the documentation. TPM 1.2 is the “hard floor” for installing Windows 11, the company said.
However, while TPM 2.0 is ideal, that exact version is not actually required, according to Microsoft documentation on Windows 11 compatibility.Īs long as a PC has at least TPM 1.2, it will meet the minimum security requirements for Windows 11, Microsoft said. In its announcement on Thursday, Microsoft said that a security chip, such as the TPM 2.0 chip, will be required to run Windows 11 on a PC.
Microsoft has posted the specific requirements for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip that will be needed to install Windows 11, indicating that TPM 2.0 is recommended but not a firm requirement for running the operating system.
