Scalpers possibly anticipate a rush of ill-informed buyers out for add-on TPMs, who haven't spent 5 minutes digging through their UEFI setup programs for the fTPM toggle. Microsoft's requirement of a hardware TPM for Windows 11 has scalpers go after add-on TPMs, which are typically priced around $20, but now marked up to $100, according to price-tracking by Shen Ye, a senior HTC VIVE exec, who has been tracking prices of add-on TPMs on Twitter. Those that don't, have a TPM 2.0 compatible header on the motherboards. Most modern PC platforms include an fTPM (firmware trusted platform module) of some form. Never mind the fact that even if you do have a CPU with TPM 1.2/2.0 support, unless you have a decent motherboard you can't enable CPU TPM in BIOS because cheaper motherboards have dropped features in BIOS. TPM 2.0 is the first version available to consumers. And unless you are a Workstation/Server user and have a Motherboard that you got specifically for TPM security in the past 10 years. Intel and AMD only recently (2 - 3 years) started implementing TPM with TPM 2.0. "Actually you can run Windows 11 on TPM 1.2"Īnd that's correct you can. And AMD recently started doing the same (Past 2 years). Luckily Intel started implementing TPM into their CPU's starting from 8th gen onwards. Unless you either have high end or gaming motherboards that have a TPM header and even if you do, most still need a separate external device. Most motherboards don't have TPM 2.0 support in 2021. In order to bring modern modular design to Windows, Microsoft has had to kneejerk Windows 11 so hard everyone from everyday Users to Motherboard and CPU manufacturers are being affected. They created a new platform for new technologies when those new technologies were already being created without issue and the "new" features should have already been in Windows 10. Yes Windows 11 comes with massive under the hood changes for developers and creators as well but why create an entirely new OS for features that would have been in Windows 10 had they not delayed it so much and if developers were already dealing with Windows 10 just fine? They've also delayed and delayed new features so much that they have just decided to cut from Windows 10 entirely and just add them to Windows 11. Remember the "Fluent Redesign" Microsoft started introducing in 2019? Well not only have they only managed to implement only about 1/3rd of the features they promised (mostly just the cosmetic changes). In fact they would would have been if Microsoft didn't change their mind last second. 90% of the "New" features they introduced in the Windows 11 stream. The main issue with Windows 11 is in its current state it does not need to exist. But that is a massive problem when you introduce it and gate new features to a new OS. Modular design is a relatively new concept that Apple has been at the forefront in for over a decade. You can change the cosmetics, interior and add new features/accessories but fundamentally its set in stone. In essence Windows is like a proprietary built car. Except again, Apple has the ability to fundamentally change even the main aspects of their entire OS with these yearly updates without affecting existing features. They are the equivalent of Windows yearly updates. The new "versions" of MacOS that come out every year are not new operating systems. MacOS is designed from the ground up to be modularĪpple's design philosophy has allowed them to change, overhaul and redesign entire core aspects of their entire operating system without affecting compatibility, usability or existing features. There is a fundamental difference between Mac and Windows design philosophies that allows Apple to drop a "New OS" every year. Well you'd think that there wouldn't be a problem and really what's the big deal because Apple does the same thing every year and people love it! right?.
