why would you put RGB onto a PCB with 1 chip? It is that small for serval reasons but most of all to not take up space. IF you wanted to you could buy the TPM module and RGB lights like the ones that flex then use the RGB lighting to go over the TPM module as most if not all of them plug into the motherboard and have very little space between them and the thing the motherboard is on.

Thing that gets me about this requirement. Even if your keys are secured in the TPM; for say Bitlocker; once you're in userland those keys become memory resident. Most exploits are software based; its not that hard to execute manage-bde -protectors C: -get or various powershell commands to get the recovery key. For me in the past 20yrs maybe only 5% of security breaches have been physical thief. Most are like hafnium; an exploit on an already running (unlocked) system. I 100% get this for HIPPA/PCI compliance, business clients, and mobile devices. For home desktop users though, hmmm.

You need administrative privileges to get the recovery key. With administrative privileges you can also just dump the decrypted drive. Bitlocker can only do so much, Microsoft should consider that most people don't have any idea of what "yes" on a uac prompt means. Only rootkits are impossible to defend against by the OS itself, that's why secure boot is also a requirement. Without rootkits Windows Defender will always be able to scan the system, if there's malware that's able to exploit some privilege escalation vulnerability, to try to get the bitlocker keys, defender will likely kill it before it runs.

Ever heard of Memory Integrity (HVCI)? Surprise surprise it is only available in processor 8th gen and up using specialised hardware embedded in the CPU. From here you're are intelligent enough about why the 8th gen and up requirement for win11. It not only turns all these security features ON by default but makes it mandatory requirement of the OS. PS: You can simulate software based memory integrity but it really affects system performance by upto 40% depending on memory size and CPU raw power. Definitely not recommended.

Secure boot is going to cause a lot of problems. Once you turn it on, now it might not recognize your your drives, your GPU or even your memory. And you won't even be able to boot into BIOS to turn it back off. In essence rendering your mother board into a paper weight. And the solution by Microsoft will be to replace your computer with one that has windows 11 already loaded! I suggest to anyone trying to make these adjustments in their BIOS to have a dual BIOS board such as gigabyte so when you destroy one BIOS you have another one left to try to run windows 11 or switch back to windows 10.

I tried to check to see if the newer module was available, and it wasn't. when I enable the existing TPM, windows 10 doesn't see it. can't tell if the module is good or not. for a lot of computers, the TPM module is missing, its was offered as an option and was available until; now. MSI, Asus, and others are having issues with this requirement. a lot of people don't even know what this is all about...this is really causing issues with consumers.

Love the interview, nice to hear from a security expert just what these technologies actually are; however, I will need to correct him on one point. Windows 10 *did* in fact ship with the mandatory update feature, at least on Windows 10 Home. You can "snooze" or delay the updates -- for awhile -- but you cannot turn them off entirely without third-party software, and eventually Windows will stop letting you snooze the update and just install it without user input or consent. I upgraded from Windows 7 during the free-digital-upgrade period, and this extremely annoying "feature" was very much present on the system. It was also present on my daughter's Windows 10 Home install, 3 years later from physical install media. It is still present on both, as it cannot be turned off on the Home edition. So.. yeah, on that *one* point alone, I'll have to disagree with our esteemed expert. For the rest: Thanks for the new info, I do try to learn something new every day!

As for TPM, to date, I've only used it primarily when using bitlocker for encryption of my drive. Until I know how exactly Microsoft is using TPM, I have some concerns. Is it like the built in Yubikey? Are they using it to lock licenses to registered keys stored in the TPM? Are they creating an encryption key for system files to prevent modification unless present with a password from the user and the TPM while locally present on an elevated credential screen? Until I know why they want it, this really seems like an annoyance and a reason not to upgrade from Windows 10 until I get new systems that need it (like for the scheduler, etc.).

This kinda reminds me of spectre/meltdown, where vulnerabilities that are valid concerns for specific high profile targets means they must ruin the experience for the masses.

Cause the mother board ask the firmware (UEFI) to load the os into the guarded memory then the UEFI ask the OS to introduce and loaded up the hardware Drivers like sound cards or graphic cards or ... If they had been digitally sign ( it's a code that Hardware creator vender should got certificates for it's functionality by OS manufacturer like Microsoft (it's called WHQL)) then windows load it into the memory and tell the UEFI that I know this guy and he has valid ID then UEFi ask the security code for the OS and the OS uses the secure boot protocol and its code to load the windows . And the cool thing is the fast boot is a functionality that let the OS uses the fastest way to load OS files and use the private memory/SSD/IO to load very fast . And if you don't have a valid Driver that not digitally signed the OS will said the UEFI that I Have a driver but actually I don't really guarantee it's identity but I will and can work with it . Then UEFI will reject the driver and the OS will not boot correctly or even it will suspend from booting up . And you may wonder why driver is so important ? Cause they have a root OS access for the specific hardware or software and many hackers uses the fake drivers to load up some nasty malware or ransomware viruses hidden into the codes . You can check your WHQL version and information in dxdiag command in windows search/run.

I was surprised that Mike never brought up Intel PTT which is a firmware TPM built in to Intel chips from the 4th generation and newer. My Win10 computer uses a Core-i5 8th generation chip which has the PTT feature. With the feature off (by default) the TPM.MSC command shows no TPM available but when I enabled the Intel PTT feature then the command showed that I had TPM 2.0 in use. Hope this helps.

It's really easy to implement win11 capability unless your computer is ancient. It is highly unlikely that a new PC doesn't have 'some' capability to either add a chip or flick a switch in the bios. Turn on PPT in bios security settings and it's all good.

TPM itself does nothing until you enable disk encryption. It looks fun that MS requires TPM but has Bitlocker turned off by default. There is another reason - DRM protection. Large companies, such as Netflix, want to identify your PC and restrict access to their content if they want to. Checking serial number or similar codes is not effective since a user can bypass these checks easily. But with TPM endorsement certificates and DRM-enabled browser it becomes really hard. They don't care about your security, they care about their money

Hi, nice video. I'm new to CPU/gpu since about five years or so ago. Thankfully I had recently went amd on this desktop and was wondering since I met the requirements why win 11 wasn't booting( it would loop back to win 10). I believe I finally found the answer; please correct me if I'm wrong:Secure Boot must be enabled before an operating system is installed. If an operating system was installed while Secure Boot was disabled, it will not support Secure Boot and a new installation is required. Thank you sincerely

So just installed Windows 11 last week. You absolutely 100% need TPM 2.0 to be enabled to install it, Microsoft did not deviate from that requirement. Note that almost every PC motherboard built since 2015 has a TPM 2.0 chip, it just needs to be enabled in the BIOS/UEFI.

Ultimately any system (like TPM) has to have software access so there will always be a way of spoofing or exploiting it found eventually. TPM or Secure boot do not stop people installing software and that is how Malware and Viruses do the damage.

Big companies in the US are on a 3-year upgrade cycle due to IRS depreciation laws (if your company ISN'T, have them check with the IRS. You could save a significant amount of money by buying every three years!) Every computer sold in the past three years has at least fTPM on board and most have Secure Boot ability. It's not big companies that will complain, it's individual users who can't upgrade as often. And what's wrong with Vista (there, I said it!) After a few patch cycles (OK, after MANY patch cycles) MS fixed the bugs and it was a stable, if unexciting OS.

It will release in somewhere near 2022 or even 2023 with very stable business version and the older hardware has big security issues like meltdown that are not publicly talked about . For example if you have laptop with Intel gen 5 processors then you might have a really big security problems cause the cpu doesn't actually support security micro code or specialized hardware built into it . That's the difference between Mac os security and windows . Cause they have simple hardware with limiting time OS update then they built new one . But the other hand Microsoft support of million hardware with billions of combinations to support from business/enterprise and home users at the same time! This is why you will see the obvious BSOD( blue screen of death) a lot in many windows computers and not in Mac or Linux distros! Microsoft understand that it is very hard to support many old hardwares without affecting the os speed or keep it secure ! So they drop support of older hardware to keep the security and performance balanced with new fast and secure hardware !

@@alikarbasian8576 #1) Meltdown doesn't affect my wife's CPU and #2) Specter (and Meltdown) isn't a bad enough exploit to pile up our landfills with millions of perfectly functioning computers. Both Meltdown and Specter are read-only attacks that require you to install compromised software than can easily be mitigated using other methods (microcode updates via OS or BIOS, antivirus software, antimalware software). I would be fine with Windows nagging you to update to secure boot/TPM and requiring it from OEMs, but I'm not in favor of this as a requirement to install. These non-Win11 compliant PCs are going to be an even bigger threat than Specter/Meltdown when bot armies compromise them as MS stops security updates for Win10. I love building myself new computers and I like shiny new technology, but this is a case of the fix having far more negative consequences than the original problem.

@@iguanac6466 Microsoft will fall back and it is the obvious truth but even windows 7 got security update even in 2021 . Microsoft has multiple problems to supporting multiple OS . The thing is Microsoft has right to do it for under gen 4 or 3 Intel CPUs . They are old tech and has big security concerns with more ransomware and boot up attack viruses and malwares . This is covid time and you have right but in normal conditions people should stop using 10 years old cpus ! They were many injection codes that can't be patched or even can't publicly expose . So I think 10 years is a good/fair way to support hardwares or even softwares .

Microsoft suddenly wanting TPM bodes badly: If you were paying attention to microsoft and what they are doing for the past few years, you would know that microsoft is going the closed system route like MacOS, and TPM is the key to secure transactions via microsoft store as it identifies each machine via encryption... Which is great and all if all you do is game all day, but ur gonna be paying a microsoft tax as well... In the end, the TPM requirement is a signal of the beginning of the end of windows being open, and free/opensource software...

One big consideration many might have is...if TPM is enabled and secure boot too, can you still image an OS on the boot drive/SSD and restore it later and can you move that same SSD from one motherboard to another when you might upgrade or replace a motherboard? Or, if you buy a larger SSD, can you still restore the previous OS from the previous SSD to the new larger SSD? I'm thinking no if there are security keys that might be looking for the same motherboard and/or SSD hardware id's.
