Apparently, Windows 11' requirement of a relatively recent CPU is due to the need for TPM 2.0 https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-explains-windows-11-requirement-tpm-20 https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-explains-windows-11...
Can anyone please explain what TPM (2.0) is and whether it works for or against me?
- marcodiego 5y agoBasically a TPM chip can be used a secure key store. This allows to use digital signatures to check if the boot chain, kernel or modules have not been tampered with.
