With four weeks to go before it is officially launched, Microsoft has explained what will happen to TPM 2.0, the current problem of millions of computers that wanted to make the leap to the new version of the Windows operating system.
It seems that until we don’t have it between usWindows 11 is going to continue to make headlines. Although it is to be assumed that later as well, since nothing comes out free of errors or bugs.
Once Microsoft’s next big operating system was announced, all eyes turned to the strange requirement: you need to have TPM 2.0 activated on your computer.
And there the thing stayed. From that moment on, the internet was full of doubts, about the TPM, about its activation, and about its obligatory nature when it comes to updating to Windows 11.
Ummmm…. yeah …. we need to talk to you about TPM 2.0 and Windows 11.Read the memo: https://t.co/kI80YOGrEh pic.twitter.com/FvGNDIreZQ

And the worst is that at Microsoft they have been quiet, until this week, when they finally saw fit to launch a tweet explaining what TPM 2.0 is, why it is mandatory and how to activate it. All in easy steps.
For those who do not know, TPM 2.0 is the second version of the Trusted Platform Module, which is a cryptoprocessor capable of storing encryption keys with which to protect our most sensitive information in case of theft or hacking.
And the importance of having it on the PC is that TPM 2.0 will be required to run Windows 11 as it is a vital component Windows Hello, for identity protection, and BitLocker for data protection.
Once Microsoft has clarified that this is going to be mandatory, the company has wanted to relax the public by stating that practically all computers sold since 2016 have this feature. Another very different thing is that they have it activated.
And for this they have left a simple guide through the photos of the previous tweet and this web page, where they teach in very few steps to activate this feature if our computer is compatible.
There are barely 25 days left for Windows 11 to be officially released and, little by little, we are filing all doubts about it. Of course, get ready because when it comes out we will have as many others. Let’s hope they don’t take so long to answer them again.
