  1. TPM 1.2
  2. TPM 2.0 ✔
  3. TPM 1.0

Why: Microsoft lists Trusted Platform Module version 2.0 as a Windows 11 requirement. The firmware must also be UEFI and Secure Boot capable. TPM 1.2 does not meet the requirement.

Huh, didn't know that: Microsoft also lists 4 GB of memory and 64 GB of storage as minimums.
