All those who wish to upgrade their window from the 10th to 11th version happen to see TPM 2.0 in the requirement list. It is a security feature but in the form of a chip (hardware component) added to the system to provide more security. 

So, everyone who wants windows 11 needs to check TPM 2.0 as it is not present in all CPUs and not compatible with MSI motherboards. According to MSI, the next Windows 11 operating system is already operational on motherboards from the Intel 100 series and AMD 300 series. Sometimes it is available, but it needs to enable it. And in this guide, we discuss how to enable TPM 2.0 in BIOS MSI.

The steps are simple, just go to the BIOS menu, choose the advanced option, and check if the TPM 2.0 is enabled; it’s good to go, but if not, enable it by going to settings, then Security Device Support and enable TPM 2.0.

Does Your System Support Windows 11? (Windows 11 System Requirements)

Mostly the system using windows 10 is able to get updated to windows 11. But a few changes occurred after the change in the design of the window. Now, without having TPM 2.0, no system is able to install and run windows 11. Moreover, if your processor doesn’t have TPM, you must purchase a new CPU, and then you are capable of installing windows 11. 

However, there are other specifications that the system needs to fulfill for windows 11, which are as follows.

Does Your System Have TPM 2.0?

When it comes to the MSI system, all are not compatible with TPM 2.0; the company shared the list of motherboards that support it. 

In order to check the status of TPM 2.0 on your system, follow the below points. 

• Open your system and click on the Taskbar search icon. 
• Type ‘Security Processor details’ and click on it.
• You will see the ‘Security Processor details’ option in the ‘best match’ portion. Click on it.
• Windows appear in front of you, revealing the information about the trusted platform module TPM. 
• In the specification section, if you see ‘2.0’ in front of the ‘specification version’ (at point 3 in the list), it means your system has an enabled TPM 2.0.

So, after checking your system specs and ensuring that it will be in your system, it’s time to enable it. So you can install and run windows 11 for better performance. 

I will discuss enabling TPM 2.0 in MSI motherboards with AMD and Intel processors here, so let’s check it. 

Note: This process is for MSI motherboards, so don’t use it for other systems. If you want to check how to enable TPM 2.0 in bios Asus, click here.

• To enter BIOS on your PC, you will need to repeatedly tap the “Del” or “F2” key on your keyboard as soon as your computer begins to start up. After that, the BIOS menu will appear on your screen. 
• Once there, you will want to make sure to enter “Advanced mode” by tapping the “F7” key. And this will allow you to access more advanced options in the BIOS.
• Once you are in Advanced mode, you will need to navigate to the “Settings” box. From the “Settings” box, you can navigate to the “Security” tab. 
• In the Security section, you will want to select “Security Device Support” and set it to “Enable.” And this will enable support for security devices on your computer.
• Next, you will need to navigate to the “AMD fTPM Switch” option and set it to “[AMD fTPM].” And this will enable the AMD fTPM (firmware Trusted Platform Module) on your computer, a hardware-based security feature that helps protect your data and keep it secure. 
• Once you have made these changes, you can save your settings and exit the BIOS.

• Entering BIOS on your PC is a simple process that can be accomplished by repeatedly tapping the “Del/F2” key on your keyboard as the computer starts up. Once you are in BIOS, it is essential to make sure you are in “Advanced mode” by tapping the “F7” key. It will allow you to access more advanced options and settings.
• From the “Settings” box, navigate to the “Security” tab. Then you have to select “Trusted Computing” from the options in the menu. It will bring you to a section where you can enable security device support. To do this, simply select “Security Device Support” and set it to “Enable.”
• Next, you will need to set “TPM Device selection” to “Security PTT Enable.” The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a hardware-based security feature that helps to protect your data and keep it secure. Enabling the TPM will help to ensure that your data is kept safe, even if your computer falls into the wrong hands.
• By following the abovementioned simple steps, you can easily enable security device support and the TPM on your PC with an Intel processor. And this will help to keep your data safe and secure and give you peace of mind knowing that your computer is protected.

Conclusion 

TPM 2.0 isn’t only necessary for installing or running windows 11 but also for keeping your hardware safe and secure from theft threats. If you have an MSI motherboard, check the minimum requirements and enable the TPM 2.0 in BIOS.
