Installing a TPM 2.0 Module So I Can Install Windows 11

So I searched for installing it... and THIS video was the one that came up! Funny part is... I have *exactly the same board! Wahoo! This just put the last piece in place. *Much* appreciated.

I was so pleased to find this solution to my problem. Alas, it didn't work! I have new PC with an Asus A520M-K board, which is not on the Windows 11 Supported List on the Asus website. The answer to FAQ 5, regarding TPM modules, states: "If your motherboard is not listed on support list, it means your motherboard does not meet the minimum requirements to support windows 11 even though you install other TPM 2.0 module (Card) on your motherboard." So it seems you need to check the Supported List before wasting your hard-earned on a module that will get you nowhere.

[@JerryTravisSmith]

Oh wow! I have read Microsoft keeps adding new requirements for 11 beyond just needing a TPM 2.0 module. As far as I remember, Asus didn’t list that quote on FAQ 5 when I made this video! Thanks for the information and sorry that just adding a TPM 2.0 didn’t work for you!

[@JerryTravisSmith]

According to the manual, the TPM connector is next to the SATA ports on the right bottom of the motherboard. It’s actually a 13 pin connector. But you don’t need a hardware TPM. In your BIOS, go into advanced mode and look for PCH-FW Configuration and make sure it’s enabled. It should be by default but if you’re getting some kind of TPM not present kind of warning, it may be disabled.

I saw somewhere the actual chip on these is almost exclusively manufactured by Infineon. The TPM I used indeed had an Infineon chip on it. As for the price differences, I think that’s a supply and demand issue. Almost nobody bought these things before. They were $5-$8 I think. When some people figured out Windows 11 required TPM, they bought them all up and jacked up the price. I paid $37 for mine. The $60-$80 price tag is just straight-up scalping.

At this point I guess I should just get a new pc (because my pc is an AIO if it wasn't I'd swap the motherboard or add the tpm module like you did) l

[@JerryTravisSmith]

I’m surprised an AIO doesn’t have TPM. I used to have some clients that always bought AIOs. Most of the time, I had to buy a whole new unit when there was a major issue or they needed to upgrade. One model I installed had upgradable RAM but that was it. They did make for a clean work area and my clients always had fancy mice and keyboards hooked to them.

nice thank-you for the video.

[@JerryTravisSmith]

Appreciate it!

[@earlybird3668]

@@JerryTravisSmith most motherboards now, don't even require the TPM module, just the switch in bios, but you did that too, so you had the answer! haha! cheers.

All u can say is Microsoft bricked two of my Alienware computers on the upgrade to 10. It made a total mess of them

[@ivicas.4042]

you dont need tpm to install Windows 11

[@jonathangudino9764]

Thank you sir

[@jetnight88]

Bloody tmp I have to change mine But my pc is Samsung electronics will it work on that if I buy one of Amazon

[@JerryTravisSmith]

I highly doubt it. TPMs are very vendor specific. To be honest, I didn't even know Samsung made PCs. What model number is your PC or motherboard? I may be able to help you find something.

[@captainsnugleup]

I bought a PC with Windows 11 already installed and I have been having weird bugs with it for a while now and it hasn't been able to do one of the updates so after a bunch of research I realized it doesn't have a TPM installed lol

[@djm5936]

They forced installed a Windows 11 on your newly bought PC?

[@captainsnugleup]

@djm5936 yeah, that's how it seems I had gotten a cyberpower pc

[@Fvpigpen26]

Yep good job. I built 3 computers two Christmases ago with just about everything but this. So when it said needs upgrade to install Windows 11 I thought no way. This is just more junk in the way but it is good technology if it works.

[@lepompier132]

Now, after three years, do you still use it? I know many people who, once the Windows 10 support ends, are switching to Linux. These days (January 2025), many Windows 10 users I know don't have the budget to buy new hardware, and from what is available, we can't tell if the processors will self-destruct if you buy Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs. If you don't use specific software suites that are only on Windows, you can switch to Linux and use one of the many free and open source alternatives available. Your computer will operate more efficiently without the unnecessary components that Microsoft includes in Windows 11, as well as the bugs and security vulnerabilities that plague the operating system.

[@JerryTravisSmith]

This isn’t my primary machine anymore, but yes I still use it.

[@amitmatok2883]

Why? You can just enable the Firmware TPM in your CPU

[@JerryTravisSmith]

Either my CPU or motherboard doesn’t have that feature. I looked through every option in my BIOS and there was nothing pertaining to PTT or Trusted Computing. The manual made no mention of it either, other than the TPM header.

[@MikesTechTips]

You could’ve always downloaded tiny 11

[@darthgardner]

SECURE BOOT..TPM 2.0 the correct CPU and a few extra requirements regarding the CPU type generation or RUFUS +11 ISO thats the answer..given that this video is 3 yrs ago.

[@UltraZelda64]

It would be a lot easier to just install Linux. Windows 11 is not worth the TPM 2.0 requirement, especially if a system doesn't already have it.

[@imwrongbut2900]

anticheats want it

[@techluvin7691]

Lol……u don’t need to do that. I’ve installed Windows 11 on a first gen i7.

[@JerryTravisSmith]

In my case, I just wanted the solution to be officially Microsoft supported because that was my main rig. In the past, they had stated they couldn’t guarantee future updates would brick a system that bypassed compatibility checks. I have installed it on many unsupported systems, just not this daily driver.
