Question TPM, Windows 11 and ASUS motherboards -- an advisory

[BonzaiDuck]

I will probably post this in the Windows forum as well.

I have two ASUS Z170 motherboards -- a Sabertooth "S" and a WS workstation board -- the second is a build in progress. [Sounds strange but I'll wait for at least a year before I move up to (what?) 12 gen Intel and chipset.] But the up-and-running system has a Kaby-Lake 7700K, and the workstation board is fitted for a Skylake 6700K.

These boards come with a plug for a TPM module. People are buying the modules with hopes of installing Windows 11 without any workarounds. The modules are available for about $34.

It's a slight gamble, I suppose, but I'm going to see what the MS/Windows diagnostic tells me after a win 10 install and the test system up and running with the module plugged in.

Laziness can be a virtue. It ensures you do everything in the most effective way possible, if you handle your laziness right. Don't work hard, work smart.

Sloth on the other hand...

I was being sarcastic, hence the emoticon.

Interesting thread -- which I started on this TPM topic. Pleasantly surprised to see it take on a life of its own. Reminds me of a film with Jon Voight entitled "Runaway Train"

Quite funny thread. Only the first 2-3 postings do have something to do with TPM, and then nothing.

It's always good here. I have a lot of friends, even if I don't know their real names.
