TPM chip for Windows 11

Greenman1947 — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 20:32:05 GMT

Does anyone know if the Vaio SVE laptops have a TPM chip. I've run the check suggested by Microsoft and did not find a chip but I am told that it may need to be turned on in the BIOS. Otherwise it looks like I can't use Win 11.

What's the model?

I would think that most of the E series would not be windows 11 compatible without a hardware TPM 2.0 solution.

It may be worth checking this article and seeing if the TPM is present on your vaio.

Hi The model is SVE1511K1ESI

I will try the BIOS check you suggested.

No mention of a TPM chip in the BIOS so it looks like Win 11 is not feasible.

Thanks for your help

Here is another link with a work around.

It claims the M Soft fix only works for some computers but this one fixes all.

Hi guys, Sony doesn't support Windows 10, let along Windows 11! Plus, Sony sold the brand.

Well, the hardware supports win 10 and even 11 with work arounds.

Sony selling VAIO isn't an issue anyway, might as well get some use out of the pc section of the forum 😂

Hey Lord_viridis, if you're going to download outside of the Vaio centre maybe. Good luck.

I found out about the TPM 2.0 module to install Windows 11 when I was installing it. Laptops with the TPM 2.0 module have been available since 2017 from the most popular brands, including Microsoft, ASUS, and Lenovo. But since I had to replace the motherboard, I consequently had to buy a windows 11 key, now offered by online platforms such as DCM. UEFI settings may differ on different motherboards, but not much, and the option itself may be called differently: TPM, TPM Device, Security Chip, fTPM. I also had to download the drivers for the Vaio chipsets at https://ru.drvhub.net/devices/chipsets/vaio.

Hi there! From what you've mentioned, it seems like you may need to enable it in the BIOS in order to use Windows 11. Have you tried accessing the BIOS settings to see if you can locate the TPM chip option?
