Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a critical hardware component required for installing and running Windows 11. Although TPM isn't mandatory for Windows 10, having TPM 2.0 is a minimum requirement for Windows 11. This guide outlines three methods to check the TPM version on your Windows 10 or 11 computer.
Many users are unaware of the TPM version on their computer. This guide provides three straightforward methods to check the TPM version on Windows 10/11 without requiring third-party software.
TPM is a cryptographic processor that provides hardware-based security for sensitive data. It stores encryption keys, credentials, and other critical information on Windows systems.
Step 1 Type "tpm.msc" in the Run dialog box and press Enter to open TPM Management.
If an error message appears stating that a compatible TPM cannot be found, it's likely because TPM is disabled in the BIOS/UEFI or not present on your computer. Refer to our guide on enabling TPM on your computer.
Step 2 The TPM manufacturer information section displays the TPM version under "Specification Version."
Step 1 Open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button and selecting Device Manager.
Step 2 Expand the Security Devices tree to view the TPM version number. Note that if TPM is disabled in BIOS/UEFI, the Security Devices tree may not be visible.
Step 1 Press WIN + R to open the Run dialog, type "cmd," and press Enter.
Step 2 Copy and paste the following command into the Command Prompt window.
wmic /namespace:\\root\cimv2\security\microsofttpm path win32_tpm get * /format:textvaluelist.xsl
Step 3 Press Enter. The specVersion will display the TPM version.
