Windows 10: TPM Question - arising from discussions on eleven forum

Hi folks Could one problem be that in order to install latest versions of W10 that TPM needs to be enabled whether or not you use secure boot etc. I did read somewhere that TPM is required - even if not used - for the latest versions of W10 and those who don't have trouble installing might have TPM enabled by default in the BIOS. There's some discussion over at eleven forum on this TPM issue - although I managed to create W11 and many W10 versions in Virtual machines by having TPM disabled. I've got an INTEL laptop where I can disable TPM - so I'll have a go with that and try and install say the W10 co-release from scratch to see if there's any problems. I've also got an AMD desktop where latest versions of W10 wouldn't install - but I had TPM disabled. I'll have an experiment later to see if enabling it makes any difference. Note - only experimenting in UEFI mode - no secure boot etc. Cheers jimbo

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.
