If you are considering upgrading to Windows 11, check to ensure TPM 2.0 is enabled on your device. In some cases, PCs that are capable of running TPM 2.0 are not set up to do so. TPM 2.0 is used in Windows 11 for a number of features, including Windows Hello for identity protection and BitLocker for data protection. TPM 2.0 is required to run Windows 11, as an important building block for security-related features. Most PCs that have shipped in the last 5 years are capable of running Trusted Platform Module version 2.0 (TPM 2.0). If you are unfamiliar with this level of technical detail, we recommend that you consult your PC manufacturer’s support information for more instructions specific to your device. This article is intended for users who are not able to upgrade to Windows 11 because their PC is not currently enabled with TPM 2.0 or their PC is capable of running TPM 2.0 but is not set up to do so.
