The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is essential for securing your computer's hardware. Here’s a step-by-step guide to enable or disable TPM on an Asus ROG Strix Motherboard with an AMD CPU. While the specifics may vary, similar steps should apply to other devices.
Enter BIOS: Restart your computer and enter the BIOS setup. If you're unsure which key to press, refer to your motherboard's manual or check out our article on 'How To Enter BIOS or UEFI by Manufacturer' for guidance.
Switch to Advanced Mode: Upon entering the BIOS or UEFI setup menu, switch to advanced mode if you’re currently in easy mode. You can do this by clicking on ‘Advanced Mode’ or pressing F7.
Locate TPM Settings: Look for options such as Trusted Computing, Security Device, Security Device Support, TPM State, AMD fTPM switch, AMD PSP fTPM, PCH-FW Configuration, Intel PTT, or Intel Platform Trust Technology. These options are typically found under the Advanced or Security tab.
Enable or Disable TPM: Navigate to the Advanced tab, click on AMD fTPM Configuration, and set the AMD fTPM Switch to ‘Enable’. To disable it, set it to ‘Disable’.
Verify TPM Options: If you disable the AMD fTPM Switch, the Trusted Computing option in the Advanced tab will be unavailable. Enabling the AMD fTPM Switch will make the Trusted Computing option available. Ensure it’s enabled and select the TPM Version required. For Windows 11, choose TPM 2.0.
Save Changes and Exit: Finally, save your changes and exit the BIOS. Navigate to the Exit tab and click ‘Save Changes and Reset’ or press F10 to apply the changes.
By following these steps, you can manage the TPM settings on your BIOS efficiently.
