This tutorial will show you how to install or uninstall the TPM Diagnostics tool in Windows 11.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM.
Windows 11 requires a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0.
