Why Does Windows 11 Need It?
Here’s one example: BitLocker encryption can store encryption keys in the TPM to protect your files. When your computer boots, the key stored in the TPM is used to unlock your drive. If an attacker yanks your system drive and inserts it into another computer, the attacker can’t decrypt it and access your files without the keys stored in the TPM. The TPM is tamper-resistant, so an attacker can’t just plug it into another computer or easily extract the decryption key from it.
