Microsoft officially released Windows 11, the next generation of Windows.
The new Windows 11 has a new design and can even run Android applications, but not all computers support the installation of Windows 11.
In fact, all Intel Macs do not support Windows 11 because of TPM 2.0.
The hardware requirements for Windows 11 are a 64-bit 1GHz or faster processor, at least 4GB RAM memory, 64 GB storage space, a graphics card that supports DirectX 12, and TPM 2.0.
TPM is a trusted platform module. It is a chip or firmware integrated on the motherboard to ensure system security. Similar to the Secure Enclave on Mac, it can control encryption keys, DRM management, etc.
The problem is that not all computers support TPM 2.0, after all, this technology was introduced in 2014. The same is true for Macs. Currently, all of Apple’s Intel Macs do not support TPM 2.0.
In theory, Apple can update Intel Mac firmware to support TPM 2.0, but as Apple begins to migrate to self-developed chips, the possibility of adding TPM 2.0 firmware to Intel Macs is also very low.
