This article explains how to check what version of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) your device is running in Windows 11.
TPM technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure cryptoprocessor that helps you generate, store, and limit the use of cryptographic keys.
If your device has a TPM chip and isn’t working properly, you may need to troubleshoot and fix the problem. To troubleshoot the problem correctly, knowing the TPM installed version will also help.
Also, Windows 11 requires Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 and higher.
