What are the requirements to install Windows 11

Windows has just announced the imminent release of its new Operating System, or Windows 11. This new version of Windows will have new features and a renewed graphics. If you think you have to shell out who knows what amount to get it, you are wrong: the update will be free for those who already have Windows 10, and, speaking of dates, this will be released in the fall of this year.

What are the requirements for Windows 11?

Unfortunately, to receive the update to Windows 11, your computer must meet certain requirements, ranging from RAM, the Processor, the space available on the disk, and the fundamental requirement ” Chip TPM ” on the motherboard, essential for the safety of your computer as it stores tamper-proof encryption keys. But let’s see immediately what are the requirements and if you have a “Chip TMP”.

What is the TPM 2.0 Chip?

To date, Windows 11 has made it mandatory to use the TPM 2.0 chipTPM which stands for Trusted Platform Module is a Chip installed on the motherboard, which is used to store the cryptographic keys used on the system. This allows you to protect confidential information and sensitive data in hardware, rather than via software.

By making this requirement “mandatory”, Microsoft intends to secure the information of us users, those that from the point of view of external attackers have the greatest value. On systems without a TPM chip, passwords are saved at the “Windows Credential Manager” level or in the password manager of the various browsers, and both methods are insecure. Storing passwords etc inside the TPM Chip takes the defense of this information to a much higher level.

What are the Requirements for Windows 11

To check the presence of the “TPM Chip” on your computer, first, open the TPM Management Center by typing the word ” tpm. msc” in the search box at the bottom right. Then click on the result that appears in the left column. It will open a new window.

TPM Chip

If you read the information in the “ TPM Manufacturer Information ” section, it means you have a TPM Chip! Make sure you have version “2.0”, as lower versions will not be supported by Windows 11. If you see the message “Compatible TPM Chip cannot be found” (or something similar), you will have to give up installing Windows 11 until you have a PC with a TPM chip on the motherboard! (They can also be found on Amazon and, for some motherboards, can be activated from the BIOS).
