Microsoft is urging 240 million PC users to upgrade their hardware to support Windows 11's security features, which rely on the TPM 2.0 chip. The company highlights TPM 2.0's role in protecting data, ensuring trusted software, guarding against tampering, and supporting advanced security features. Microsoft's push comes as Windows 11's market share nears that of Windows 10, but a significant number of PCs lack the necessary TPM 2.0 chip, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. Users face the choice of upgrading, paying for extended support, or remaining unprotected.
