Wow, that's really frustrating! Did you install Win 11 with bypassing TPM completely? Or do you have TPM 1.2 on this board?

Lol. Check my above post. There's no point in asking this. You may as well ask them to make a board for Intel CPUs compatible with AMD CPUs.

I found a problem with upgrading to Windows 11 without TPM2.0 (Z97X Fatal1ty Killer), it all worked fine until my kid complained that the anti-hack engine of a game he plays, Valorant, demands TPM2.0 if the computer is running windows11. By that stage I couldn't do the downgrade back to Windows10 so fortunately was able to restore to a 1month old image I took just before upgrading to Windows 11. I am guessing more and more software will require TPM support so upgrading to Windows 11 might work initially but you may be stuck.   So please please Asrock can you produce TPM2.0 versions of F/W for TPM1.2 motherboards?

As Win10 support is ending this year, I was looking to update my PC to Win 11 and came across this thread. While the intent of this sticky is good, unfortunately I find the OP to be quite inadequate. I immediately had follow-up questions, such as, what is the exact meaning of "it does not support TPM 2.0?"--does that mean natively, out of the box, the board does not have that capability built in? But what about all those TPM modules all over eBay? Are you saying that such a board will NEVER support TPM 2.0 even with such a module?

If anyone else is still looking for help with such questions, and is confused like I was, hopefully the following will clear things up.

Firstly, ASRock has a helpful page to tell you exactly which version of TPM your board is compatible with:
https://www.asrock.com.tw/mb/spec/card.asp?Model=TPM-S%20Module&cat=Support

If your board is on that list, then you need to buy the corresponding add-on TPM module to enable TPM. (Unless maybe if it's built into your CPU? It could be that the board has a discrete TPM module, but the CPU also has it built in. My guess is that could be the case for some board/CPU combos. Not sure.) The "»TPM-S Module" link lists approved modules for ASRock.

However, if my understanding is correct, TPM 1.2 and 2.0 are not compatible, and it's a hardware thing. So, I believe that means that a BIOS update can't make a board designed for 1.2 compatible with 2.0 even though the pin layout may be the same. In any case, if your board is listed in the 1.2 section in the above link, there's no point buying a TPM 2.0 module for it as it will not work!

However, TPM 1.2 is still okay for installing Win 11 with just a bit of registry tweaking.

I found a TPM 1.2 module for my H81M-HDS, and it works. If you need such a module, you better hurry because it looks like they have almost completely disappeared from the market due to low demand. The one I got is from Authikey, and it uses a different chip from the one listed by ASRock. Looks like the "officially supported" 1.2 module, with the Nuvoton chip, has been discontinued everywhere.

Here are a few articles that provide good summaries about TPM and Win11.

Hello,

I have here three ASRock Intel motherboards with integrated processor: N3150M, J3160DC-ITX and Q1900-ITX. As all these motherboards have 17pin TPMS1 header my intention was to add TPM 2.0 chips, so I ordered them.

All three TPM chips are working without any problems on N3150M and J3160DC-ITX. However, Q1900-ITX is problematic and none of the TPM chips work on this motherboard.

I tried to update BIOS and made sure BitLocker is turned off. But problem must be in BIOS, on Q1900-ITX in BIOS\Advanced\Trusted Computing when I enable Security Device Support is says Current Status Information SUPPORT TURNED OFF.

I can also add that on N3150M and J3160DC-ITX color of the BIOS is blue/black but on Q1900-ITX brown/black.

Any ideas please? Can we expect that BIOS supporting TPM 2.0 will be released if there is TPM header on the motherboard?



I can see the same question here in German https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=34496&title=suche-bios-mit-tpm-2-0-modul-fr-q1900-itx

Good afternoon! Tell me, is there information that for the Asrock H97 Pro 4 motherboard there is a BIOS version 2.10c with support for the TPM 2.0 module, where can I download this BIOS version?

I am having TPM 2.0 module issues like most in this thread. Mine is on an H81M-HDS version 1.05 with bios 2.30 currently. Can anyone shed some light on this here or in my thread - https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=44801&PID=127550🈾

What board do you have? If it is too old you may be SOL. Possibly an adapter card may be found.
