Insider Build of Windows 11 (22000.51) was released some days ago by Microsoft Inc., and for users to receive the build, you would need to sign up for the Dev Channel of the Windows Insider Program.
The only prerequisite for the build to install and among the minimum system requirements is TMP 2.0. This is a questionable barrier and is most likely imposed by OEMs to promote new hardware sales. It also negatively affects Intel Macs because Apple firmware does not support TPM.
What is TPM 2.0?
The TPM or Trusted Platform Module, is an amazing chip built into the logic board or firmware of a computer system to ensure the integrity of the operating system’s security. It is very similar to what Security Enclave does on Macs, as it fully controls cryptographic keys, DRM management (digital rights management), and much more.
We all know that not every computer has had TMP 2.0 since it was introduced in 2014 and that’s the problem with using TPM 2.0. There is a high chance that a desktop PC does not have a TMP chip when it comes to a custom-built desktop PC.
Although you can add it if you want. Microsoft provides a list of every processor that can run Windows 11, and most of them were introduced after 2017.
