Windows 10: Is There an TPM-iso Available?

Dear MSCSI am in a bit of a conundrum where I can't upgrade my Win7 laptop to Win11, though it's been upgraded to Win10, due to the architecture of the day.As I am studying the CompTIA, and Win11 is part of the study in the Labs, I have been thinking if it was possible to get the "Trusted Platform Module" as an ISO image. to be used in VMware?Is there a possibility that this could be produced?

TPM update

Don't know if this is the right place for this thread but whatever, laptop informed me that " a firmware update is needed for you security processor (TPM)," now, i looked up what to do and from a microsoft support thing, the last step says to clear the tpm. it has a warning saying to back up my data, i would like to know what clearing the tpm does, and what measures i need to take to make sure nothing goes wrong.

 

TPM is not available

fwiw generally speaking the message 'TPM IS NOT AVAILABLE' would indicate either it is not enabled in bios/setup, or your system does not have TPM capabilities.

 

Need help on whether to clear TPM on not

It's clear as mud. As far as I can tell, it's specific to Windows, not necessarily activated programs like MacAfee, games, etc etc etc. MS Office, I have no idea.

Here's a lengthy doc on it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm
