With the advent of Windows 11, my motherboard which is listed above needs TPM 2.0. I have found a TPM Module on Amazon which has the same pin-out as the motherboard. My question is will it recognize TPM 2.0 or am I going to waste money. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi!

First of all, please make sure that your CPU & rest of the hardware is supported by Windows 11!

CPU: Intel 8th Gen (or newer); AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen "Zen+" (or newer).

Video card: Compatible with DirectX 12!

RAM minimum size: 4GB.

Otherwise, you'll be throwing money away!

PS:
Most of those, supported, CPUs already have an fTPM 2.0 inside, so you won't need to buy a discrete one!

I hope this clarifies it...
