Windows 10: CPU Intel i5-6600 fails TPM Health Check Test

The Windows PC Health Check test found my Intel i5-6600 CPU not TPM 2.0 supported, All other requirements were OKchecked. How do I find a CPU that is acceptable for Microsoft TPM 2.0 that will allow me to do an upgrade on my ASUS Z170 Pro MB?

PC Health Check - Windows 11

If they're AMD, there may be an fTPM (firmware TPM) option in the BIOS settings. That performs the TPM function without a discrete TPM module. On my AMD desktops, the feature was disabled by default.

Intel offers the same, but calls it PTT (platform trust technology). It was active on my Lenovo laptop. (CPU is 6th gen, though. Does not qualify.)

However, if your PCs are old (not Intel Gen 8 CPU or newer), the PC Health Check will declare that your PCs don't meet Win11 hardware requirements. Time will tell whether MS keeps that requirement. I have not read of any justification for that (like CPU instructions that aren't available in older processors, even if they are much better than the stated requirements).

Running tpm.msc will verify that TPM is available, and its version number.

 

 HDD TEST

This last BSOD is quite different to the one I analysed before. It is not so clear from the analysis what is causing this system service exception. I would suggest that a check of the hard disk might be worth running. If this looks OK we can move on to RAM testing.




Diagnostics Test [/i] HDD TEST
*Arrow Run HDTune to

• check the health,
• scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
• run a benchmark.

It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
When above is done please make screenshots of the following

• the health,
• the error scan,
• the benchmark incl. following
  • transfer rate,
  • access time,
  • burst rate,
  • cpu usage.

More confusion: your listed specs for a CPU is an Intel i5 6600 and your Speccy attachment show a Ryzen R5 with a vega GPU built in/on.
