Following ASUS, Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer ASRock has released a list of its motherboards compatible with the upcoming Windows 11 operating system.
First, let's recap: Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module). However, it was later revealed that TPM 2.0 checks can be bypassed without dedicated hardware, using firmware-based TPM. Both Intel (PTT) and AMD (fTPM) platforms offer such methods. Thus, theoretically, a physical TPM 2.0 module might not be necessary for Windows 11 installation.
