Unable to know if TPM is supported on my computer or how to enable it
If you purchased a PC in the last five years, it is highly likely that your computer has a TPM chip and is capable of running TPM 2.0. However, it may have been disabled by your computer's manufacturer. To see if your computer has TPM 2.0, visit your manufacturer's website or follow these steps provided by Microsoft.
Trusted platform module (TPM) technology helps keep PCs secure by offering hardware-level protection against malware and sophisticated cyberattacks. TPM technology can be embedded into modern CPUs and “securely store[s] artifacts used to authenticate the platform.”1 The artifacts TPMs protect range from passwords to certificates to fingerprints—any important information users want securely stored.
