Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is either a physical processor on your computer's motherboard or a subsection of your main processor. Whichever type of TPM your system has, it's purpose is to create unique codes that can only be decoded by your TPM. The unique codes help verrify the integrety of your system by storing them and attempting to recreate the codes next time. If the codes can be recreated perfectly, then everything is as secure as it was the first time the code was generated.
TPM takes only a couple minutes to enable, but needs to be turned on in the computer's BIOS before booting up. You'll need to follow this guide on your phone.
To start, we'll need to shutdown the computer. After it's shutdown, turn it back on and rapidly press Delete, or f12, or f2 key to get it to boot into the BIOS. Of those keys don't work, try some other f-keys until it boots into BIOS.
If your BIOS has a search box feature, type in "TPM" or "Trust" to go directly to the TPM section.
Otherwise, find the "Boot" section of the BIOS and look down the list for the TPM section.
Once there, switch it from disabled to enabled. Or if the options are in the form of version numbers set it as high as possible.
TPM is all set now. Make sure to save your BIOS settings and reboot the computer.
Thanks for reading! Your computer is a little more secure and ready for Windows 11. You can now use features like BitLocker and device encryption. If you need to enable Secure Boot, another Windows 11 requirement, head over to my guide on that here: How to enable Secure Boot
