Motherboard brands confirm models that meet Windows 11 TPM requirements
There has been a lot of confusion around Windows 11’s TPM 2.0 requirement, but the makers of the best gaming motherboards are now helping to clear things up a bit.
Brands such as ASRock, Gigabyte, Biostar, MSI and many more have compiled lists of motherboards that are compatible with the new requirement, without the need for an external add-on that is currently hard to find. Many manufacturers note that while Microsoft lists a TPM 2.0 chip as a requirement for Windows 11, virtual TPMs built into compatible AMD and Intel chipsets can bypass this requirement. So it seems very likely that Microsoft will officially support older processors on future versions of the new operating system.
While ASRock in particular has a long list of cards with older chipsets like the AMD 300 and Intel 100 series billed as TPM 2.0 compatible, it notes that Microsoft’s support may vary. Additionally, many officially supported Intel and AMD processors are only compatible with newer chipsets.
Here is an overview of confirmed TPM 2.0 compatible chipsets:

If your motherboard is compatible and you know how to install Windows 11 Insider version, you will likely need to go to your BIOS to enable virtual TPM, as it is usually disabled by default.
