Windows 10: TPM

Currently I am using TPM 2.0 on my Windows 10 PC. What happens when a newer version of TPM is released, say next year? Does my TPM chip automatically get updated or do I need to buy a new TPM?

:)

 

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.

 

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

 

TPM Console Error 0x8007007A

PS.

1. I've also just tried to uninstall the TPM device, like suggested
   here.
2. I've also just tried

1. 
   

Code:

$tpm = gwmi -n root\cimv2\security\microsofttpm win32_tpm$tpm.SetPhysicalPresenceRequest(6)

as suggested
here and
here.

Nothing changed.

Here's some additional info, just-in-case:
