About TPM

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware component installed within the motherboard of a desktop PC or laptop. Devices with TPM can create and encrypt cryptographic keys, specifically the BitLocker keys. These keys can only be decrypted by the TPM.

The operating system can utilize the keys within the TPM but can’t load them into system memory so that they stay protected from malware and other cyber attacks. With TPM installed, Windows devices provide remarkably improved privacy and security benefits.

TPM is mainly used to store confidential information of a system like authentication credentials, digital certificates, and encryption keys. Therefore, it is essential to keep TPM safe. A good way to do that is to back up TPM key.

In Windows 11, you can back up a device’s Trusted Platform Module (TPM) information to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), which enables remote management of the TPM. How to perform TPM backup? The section below will illustrate that in detail.
