Bios tpm settings

Hi Mohammedo

If you boot into BIOS, then go to Advance - Trusted Computing, do you not find TPM or PTT listed there?

What method did you use to install Windows 11 without TPM being enabled?

 

TPM support

The TPM 2.0 specifications can be implemented by a hardware chip, in which case it will be listed in the bios as 'TPM'. Newer processors can also support a firmware implementation of TPM 2.0. This is where it gets confusing as that may be listed in the bios as fTPM or PTT. All implementations of TPM 2.0, hardware or firmware, will meet the W11 requirements. TPM 2.0 for Windows 11 - What about Intel PTT and AMD fTPM?

 

"Firmware TPM - Enables PTT in SkuMgr. Discrete TPM - Disables PTT in SkuMgr. Warning! PTT/Discrete TPM will be disabled and all data saved on it will be lost."

Hi Balahoth,

Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

1 - What is TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) -tpm 2.0 is a microcontroller that stores key, password, and digital certificate. Independent TPM 2.0 also supports Intel® VOLARTM technology and Intel® trusted implementation technology (Intel® TXT).



The trusted platform module or TPM is a special private chip for storing the encryption key. It acts as an endpoint security for supporting it.

2 - What is PTT: Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) - Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) provides independent TPM 2.0 features. Intel PTT is a platform feature for credential storage, as well as key management used by Windows 8 * and Windows® 10. Intel PTT supports BitLocker * to drive encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements applicable to firmware trusted platform modules (FTPM) 2.0.



PTT provides a function of discrete TPM 2.0. Intel PTT is the credential storage and key management platform function used by Windows 11/10.



3-PTT and TPM are different technologies, but they are complementary. They are all serving equipment security services.

What is BitLocker: BitLocker (Windows 10) - Windows security | Microsoft Docs

BitLocker needs to be turned on in Windows.

Simply, BitLocker requires TPM hardware conditions and the professional and above version of Windows. So when you didn't enable TPM, BitLocker is not available.



That is, if your computer has never opened TPM after purchase, theoretically, it will not appear to automatically add BitLocker after enabling TPM.



However, since the TPM needs to be changed in the BIOS, we cannot guarantee whether you will have problems in the process of modifying the BIOS, so we recommend that you back up your personal file before performing the operation, and prepare a Windows installation media standby .

Under normal circumstances, the TPM does not cause some major changes, you can reassure after the backup file.

Hope it helps you.If you have any questions, you can also reply again.
