Looks like AMD systems might mostly be coming back as "This PC can't run Windows 11."

> Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0

Possibly most AMD motherboards don't have TPM integrated? I don't know a lot about TPM though.

EDIT: My motherboard (Asus Prime X470 Pro) lists TPM as a separate module you buy, but the connector is present. $12 module, for example: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1237446-REG/asus_tpm_...

The manual does list an fTPM setting as well, but I have not tested that yet.

Ryzen CPUs do have TPM onboard - at least my Ryzen 3800X does have it. It's disabled by default for some reason.

Funny enough, Apple laptops don't have it so Windows 11 won't be usable in BootCamp on Intel Macs.

Thanks for this info.

Supposedly the fTPM should work with Ryzen CPUs and offer TPM 2.0, but I can't confirm now either.

Similar deal to yours, my Gigabyte x570 board offers TPM cards: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/TPM-Card. I am assuming this is unnecessary tho, but good to know.

Posting from the other Windows 11 post, I can confirm that a Ryzen fTPM will get a checkmark from the PC Health tool at least.
