Thanks to Windows 11, Scalpers Buy Out Add-on TPM 2.0 Modules

Bomby569 · Jun 25, 2021

Hillarious:
Microsoft asking for TPM 2.0 and then backtracking to 1.2 but in off channels and keeping the confusion up
People scalping the modules
Calling W11 to a update to W10 and calling it a day

What a show this is going to be

Well the TPM requirement was downgraded to 1.2 already.

Sooner or later it won't be needed at all.

Where was that officially posted?

erocker · Jun 25, 2021

These scalpers are just wannabe future pharma CEO's.

What does the TPM thing do anyway? I have never ever heard it mentioned as being useful for anything.

It's an encryption module, whose function is to protect your data. Works hand-in-hand with stuff like BitLocker to encrypt your hard drive, so that if your drive is stolen, the thief can't read your tax returns and passwords.

Nobody really wants to support legacy hardware. But then I remember that white/blacklists where yeeted from the linux kernel because muh racism. Same with everywhere else i.e github.

People will figure out something to crack it, it's Windows But damn, people were on the ball right after the announcement, A-holes. Imagine people walking into a store to get their PC updated and being told to pay another 50-150 besides the labour, that really sucks. Oh, and great eco friendly move from Microsoft now that I think of it. Wouldn't surprise me if people just bought a new laptop because their old one wasn't supported. Most older laptops can run Windows 10 just fine (2nd gen Intel and above, first gen Ryzen and above) provided that they have an SSD. I have no doubt that those machines can run Windows 11 just fine too. Thanks Microsoft! /s

Labor?

Seating one of these on a motherboard qualifies as labor?

I have a 7th gen intel CPU so my PC is not compatible but I run Linux anyway. Feels good to be free. Windows 11 will probably upload all of your computing history to the NSA. Just saying.

Your ISP and Cellphone already do it - M$ can't be left behind.

Also M$ will backtrack -- they're giving away the OS for marketshare, would make no sense to make a barrier to entry like this and stick to it. They need as much data as they can ~~sell~~ get.

My Sklake quad-core sytem with tpm 1.2 plus secure boot enabledin the bios, the tool still says no go.

This is a CLUNKY REQUIREMENT FOR CONSUMER DEVICES (REALLY, WHO RUNS BITLOCKER ON HOME DEVICES?)

Thy can just change it for Enterprise, and nobody would be bitching about the issues this will bring,

The worst part about the TPM spec: its motherboard-specific (so theres no no healthy market of third-party TPM modules available to handle this spike)

Right there with you.

Thankfully, I don't need a TPM chip; it's built into my processor.

Wait, on chip? Are they doing that now? Last time I checked TPM was a motherboard bound thing...

Last I heard this was true, on the AMD side its built into AGESA.

It still doesn't work. I just tried the compatibility tool on my 8700k and with both PTT and dTPM enabled in BIOS neither option passed. So don't be too thankful.

Who made the module? I just got an Asus brand for an Asus board with an 8700K. Asus built two TPM's only one works with a Z390. Not meaning version levels, there are two distinct builds of V.2

All my board has is a slot for a module. the options in bios enable that slot, but needs to be populated. I have an MSI z370 board.

Nope, I mean getting the machine upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and making a backup of the original install. And yeah, I know it's labor

Had a long day.

Gentlemen, I learned today of a Library (DLL) capable of removing TPM 2.0/UEFI/SecureBoot requirements from Windows 11. Please let me know here if you also know anything about it. I'll look into the information.

Using a VPN that routes through two other countries.

Apparently you can just delete "appraiserres.dll" from your installation source and it will get rid of the check.

Or replace it with an identical one, but from an earlier version of Windows 10.

I don't know about MSI. I saw a couple of comments from people saying 'theirs' failed so they retried, retried and it finally worked, maybe try again?

AMD built it in. The plugin module isn't in retail packages, they get another $20 for a separate box. Now MS is selling it for them for $39.

I switched to Linux Mint latest beta about an hour ago... loving every damn second of it. Seriously no need for Windows anymore, unless you only care about AAA latest games.

I just switched to Linux Mint (latest beta release) I AM FREAKING IN LOVE!!! TAKE CARE WINDOWS 10 and 11 LMAO

So first impressions so far today... it's smooth!!! So smooth! It's very user friendly... I have already installed Steam with two clicks, updated all my drivers from the welcome window that pops up on first install, installed proprietary Nvidia driver, got gsync working. Steam has an awesome...
