The release of Windows 11 has attracted the attention of many people, but some of them find that their computers are excluded from the Windows 11 free upgrade qualification due to the lack of TPM 2.0. So, many people want to buy a TPM 2.0. This post from MiniTool Partition Wizard focuses on the topic “buy a TPM 2.0 for Windows 11”.

Why Buy a TPM 2.0 for Windows 11?

If your computer does not have a TPM 2.0 (check TPM), you might need to buy one before you upgrade to Windows 11. Because your computer can’t run Windows 11 without a TPM 2.0.

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is an international standard for secure cryptographic processors. It is the use of a securely verified encryption key to bring stronger security to the device, and it is also the core of many security applications. At present, the latest version of TPM is version 2.0.

Compared with TPM 1.2, TPM 2.0 has better compatibility (more compatible software and scenarios) and higher security (the generated password is longer and more difficult to crack), Microsoft will set TPM 2.0 as a necessary hardware configuration for Windows 11. This means that if your computer does not support TPM 2.0, Windows 11 cannot be installed.
