And the TPM uses a completely dedicated circuit, the entire calculation and storage process can go through the memory, and will not leave a trace in the hard disk, which supplies impressively high security.

It can not only calculate the key but also store the key. The other, the TPM itself is also an encrypted storage unit in the computer. These passwords can be disk encryption, or feature codes used by the operating system to verify its integrity to check whether the program has been tampered with. One is the key calculation, which involves using the computer's built-in encryption methods to construct or verify the password. Secondly, compared to TPM 1.2, the biggest change of TPM 2.0 is to greatly increase the types and security of the encryption algorithm built into the module. The TPM 2.0 standard was formulated and implemented in 2016, and its previous version, TPM 1.2, was an old product from 2011. It’s used to verify the integrity of the system when Windows starts and to store the key files required for security functions such as facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, and full disk encryption. We can simply call it the "secure processor" of the computer.Īs early as the Windows 8 era, there was a demand for TPM chips in computers. This chip allows computers to use advanced security features. What’s TPM2.0 and how do I check TPM on my PC?Ī Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a microchip integrated into the PC motherboard or separately added to the CPU. People seem to be very unfamiliar with this “new” thing. Lots of users met the “ This PC can’t run Windows 11” warning when they use the PC Health Check program, and some of them received the “TPM2.0 is a requirement for running Windows 11” prompt.
