However, there is another point to bear in mind, which we discuss here, and that’s the need for Secure Boot as a Windows 11 requirement along with TPM. It’s definitely a good thing that these kind of folks aren’t forced to make this change in the BIOS themselves, and we’ll doubtless see other motherboard makers follow in the footsteps of Asus here. As we mentioned, for relative beginners in the world of PCs, the BIOS can be a very intimidating place full of complex-looking menus, odd acronyms, and some settings that shouldn’t be played with unless you know what you’re doing. This is a laudable move from Asus, and anything that can help cut through the confusion on the topic of Windows 11 compatibility is certainly very welcome. Do note that some of the firmware updates are still in testing, though – but it’s not as if there is a massive rush, given that Windows 11 isn’t due out for a few months yet.

Loads of Asus boards already have the update ready to go, and you can check if yours is one of them here (opens in new tab).

Hence Asus is pushing out this new firmware update which automatically flips this TPM switch for folks, so they don’t need to worry about actually having to take a trip into the BIOS themselves.Ī whole range of Asus motherboards will see their firmware updated to this end, so all users have to do is download and apply the latest firmware to get TPM 2.0 enabled.
