I have buy this TPM module separatelly but honestly I not see what is the + of having it, I still see targeted ads and other related things based on browsing the internet, so I not see it help me with security, they still can see what i do in my browser remotelly and TPM does not help.
Life is a game in which you are the main protagonist.

It's not going to speed up your system or have any visual effect on screen. All it does is it stores usernames and passwords and encryptions keys separate from the operating systems and away from the hard drive. No one has access to the TPM, not even the user. It basically greatly enhances the security of your PC.

Until it's backdoored, or beaten, or something else that hasn't been disclosed (just look at the Meltdown vulnerability).
It's not some panacea of security that is suddenly going to secure the world from all attack vectors, all we need to do is just trust Microsoft and load up Windows 11.

The TPM module is the backdoor, it's purpose is Digital Rights Management and computer security. The Trusted Computing Group decides what software had been legally obtained and would be allowed to run on the computer, and what software, such as illegal copies or viruses and trojans, should be disabled.

The whole process is governed by Windows, and through remote access, by Microsoft.

Currently there is a new set of specifications out, creatively dubbed TPM 2.0. While TPM allowed users to opt in and out, TPM 2.0 is activated by default when the computer boots up. The user cannot turn it off. Microsoft decides what software can run on the computer, and the user cannot influence it in any way.

Rudiger Weis, a professor at the Beuth University of Technology in Berlin explains the dream chip of the NSA in an interview back in 2013. https://netzpolitik.org/2013/interview-trusted-computing-stimmt-geheimdienste-froehlich/

True!

A watchdog chip called "Trusted Computing Module" (TPM) is to be integrated into every electronic device, which should not only make the secret service happy. Together with the procedures now implemented by Microsoft within Windows 8 (especially Secure Boot), the user is largely deprived of control over his own hardware and software.

So, Windows 11 (must have TPM enabled) is an ankle bracelet for computers!

Will there be any way I can download Windows 11 in English language from China or Russia due to western encryption technologies?

Alternatively, is Microsoft going to charge a monthly/yearly fee to run Widows 11 without a TPM?

Hi everyone,

Here is the state of play for people whose CPU/Motherboard is/are not officially Windows 11 Supported :

- Your CPU/Motherboard is/are not officially Windows 11 Supported to date but you meet all the others prerequisites (including full UEFI, Secure Boot & TPM 2.0 enabling) :


You will be able to install/use Windows 11 at your peril : "Warning: Installation on PCs below Windows hardware requirements can result in a degraded experience & some features may not work properly."




- Your CPU/Motherboard is/are not officially Windows 11 Supported and you don't meet all the others prerequisites (including full UEFI, Secure Boot & TPM 2.0 enabling) :


You will not be able to install/use Windows 11 (excluding hack) other than going through Dev Channel of Windows Insider (but you'll have to roll back to Windows 10 for public release) : "Limited Exception: PCs will be allowed to preview Windows 11 updates only via flighting until General Availability. PCs will then need to take action to go back to Windows 10 and will not be eligible for future Windows 11 Preview builds."
