Unlike macOS, which is relatively secure, Windows is a significant target for hackers. The latest version, TPM 2.0, is even more secure than ever, and Microsoft wants to leverage this extra protection for its computers. It handles cryptographic keys and DRM management as well. The chip encrypts the data on the computer hard drive so hackers and thieves cannot access it.
TPM is short for Trusted Platform Module, a hardware security platform embedded into computer CPUs and motherboards. The core issue with Windows 11 is its TPM 2.0 requirement.
