07/06/2021, 8:17 AMYou actually only need TPM 1.2 and most of the laptops in last 7-8 yrs have it.
If it’s not enabled you’d have to enable it from system BIOS.

*Correction, 8:06PM ET:* This story originally stated Windows 11 would likely still install on PCs with access to TPM 1.2 and older CPUs, because that's what we read in Microsoft's documentation. Microsoft has now corrected those documents to specify TPM 2.0 is a minimum requirement for Windows 11.
