Device security tells me....no action needed, clicking on it tells me 'There is no TPM available. Your device may be vulnerable'. Can I fix this, if so how?

How did you get Windows 11 on your PC? TPM 2.0 is a Windows 11 minimum requirement, the Setup checks for this at install or upgrade time and refuses to allow Windows 11 to install without TPM being present.'There is no TPM available. Your device may be vulnerable'. Can I fix this, if so how?
Which prodesk 600? There are many over the years.it is an HP Prodesk 600 (I got it secondhand), I guess it is new enough to have the hardware
Yes......will things be ok if I do nothing?
No, you won't - not in my experience. For an unsupported device (no TPM or only TPM 1.2, unsupported older cpu, etc.) you'll see a complaint from Setup when first installing or upgrading to Windows 11. Those would have needed a workaround to get past and complete the install.You may start receiving more and more messages complaining about the lack of TPM....
Of course, but this is NOT the scenario we are talking about here. Read the OP's post again.No, you won't - not in my experience. For an unsupported device (no TPM or only TPM 1.2, unsupported older cpu, etc.) you'll see a complaint from Setup when first installing or upgrading to Windows 11.
You want to put money on that?Then you may see Device Security telling you there's no TPM, but it will have a 'Dismiss' button, so you should never see that one again.
This is because you had to bypass the requirements to install the OS in the first place, so of course they're not going to complain.My unsupported System Four (see below in My Computers, Other Info) currently multi-boots four different builds of Windows 11, the retail 23H2 and the Insider Beta, Dev and Canary builds. None of them ever have any problem with it not having any TPM.
That doesn't really narrow it down much. The first Prodesk 600 G1 came out in 2014, the Prodesk 600 G6 range was launched in 2020 Q3. The first model under the 'Prodesk 600' name that seems to meet all the Windows 11 hardware requirements was the Prodesk 600 G4 range with its choice of 8th gen Intel processors and TPM 2.0 in the form of an Infineon SLB9670.it is an HP Prodesk 600 (I got it secondhand)
No it isn't. The only thing to 'bypass' was Setup's insistence that you must meet all the W11 hardware requirement before it would let you continue with an install. Once you got past that, what actually gets installed is the full and complete Windows 11 - nothing added, modified, or taken away.This is because you had to bypass the requirements to install the OS in the first place, so of course they're not going to complain.
And what did you do to bypass that?The only thing to 'bypass' was Setup's insistence that you must meet all the W11 hardware requirement before it would let you continue with an install
Have you ever clean installed Window 11? Before the install starts copying any files to the PC it checks that the PC meets all the hardware requirements. There's one specific .dll that Setup.exe will call to do the actual check. If it tells Setup that the PC passes all the requirements then Setup will begin installing Windows, if it doesn't meet the specs Setup will refuse to install.And what did you do to bypass that?
The HP Prodesk 600 G2 came in three form factors, a Desktop Mini, a Microtower, and a Small Form Factor PC. All offered a choice of processors from Intel's 6th generation. Windows 11 minimum hardware requirement for an Intel processor is 8th gen or higher, so this is an unsupported device. The supplier you bought it from would have used one of the known workarounds to install Windows 11.Thanks for all the replies, it is 600 G2, I will live with it without messing! To be honest I was happier with win 7, but things move on.
