Now the company has clarified that some systems will work without any flavor of the TPM cryptoprocessor enabled, which will certainly make the requirement seem superfluous to detractors. That requirement further restricts the number of computers that can use Windows 11. And for those that thought Microsoft would bend under public pressure over the unpopular new TPM requirement, the company has doubled down - At first, Microsoft only listed support for TPM 1.2 as the baseline, but it has since clarified that Windows 11 would only support the newer 2.0 revision. ![]() Windows 11 requires either a physical TPM key, resulting in an almost instant shortage of the devices and rampant scalping, or support for fTPM, excluding a large swath of relatively modern systems from receiving the update.
