TPM 2.0

Hello,

With the recent announcement that windows 11 will be releasing they have set a requirement that the machine must have TPM 2.0 set and enabled.

Hi, a lot of motherboards made from around 2015 onwards have TPM functionality and they would need turned on in BIOS. It's a good first step to make sure that you don't already have it.

As @Rakk says no real rush as things may change and you've got till 2025 anyway
