TPM 2.0 and Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard

It doesn’t look like my machine was built with a TPM. I am wondering whether I can get one to match this motherboard (Asus Z170 Pro Gaming) and where to find it. Would a TPM 2.0 for this board need to come from Asus, or are there other options?

It is worth pointing out that 6th and 7th Generation Intel processors will not be supported by Windows 11.

However, 6th and 7th Generation Intel processors, both support firmware based TPM solutions. On an Intel motherboard it’s known at PTT which will satisfy the TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11. You can enable this functionality by updating your firmware to the current version.

According to the documentation provided by ASUS, the Z170 Pro Gaming is compatible with Windows 11 “under current testing”, but the processors that are supported do not actually meet the system requirements for Windows 11.

Windows 11 Supported Intel Processors

If you had a supported processor you would only have to enable the PTT feature within your firmware options. Additionally, your motherboard does not appear to support a discrete TPM device, but a discrete TPM device is unnecessary since your processor supports PTT.

You can do that in the following tab within the firmware:
