What is TPM
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is an international standard for a secure cryptoprocessor, which is a dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware using integrated cryptographic keys.
Microsoft recommends that systems equipped with TPM 2.0 be ready for Windows 11, but systems equipped with TPM 1.2 will also be supported. This is merely a security feature, and it should not affect performance with either version of TPM.
