Yeah I know it's because of TPM. But presumably at some point computer manufacturers added TPM to their motherboard/CPUs to be able to say they have or can upgrade to Windows 11.
Not saying there's a definite time cutoff, just generally speaking it seems like somewhere around there more computers started including the TPM capabilities.
Still three years isn't that long. I'd hate to have to trash my motherboard and/or CPU just to get security updates.
- lostmsu 2y agoA PC from 2021 should have a TPM in the processor.
- cableshaft 2y agoPretty sure it said it was because it didn't have TPM. I'll double check tomorrow.
- gmb2k1 2y agoProbably the fTPM of your processor is just disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. You can just enable it in case you really want to upgrade.
- cableshaft 2y agoYep, turns out it wasn't enabled in the BIOS. Discovered this myself when I clicked the more info today after getting the 'You don't have TPM on this device' from the Windows PC Health Check. That was really confusing. I definitely thought I didn't even have it on my hardware from its messaging the first time around (and even the second time around I wasn't sure until I went through the instructions and checked all the menus on the BIOS). So if I got confused and thought I didn't have it on my computer, probably many, many other people less tech savvy than me were similarly confused (or just wouldn't bother. BIOS changes can be weird and scary anyway, Windows couldn't even give good instructions on that part because BIOS menus tend to be pretty different).
