2019 MacBook Pro bootcamp

Hi Windows11bootcamp,

I wish Windows 11 was supported on Boot Camp, but one of the requirements that Microsoft set for Windows 11 compatibility is that the PC must have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

No Mac has a TPM (except for obsolete hardware in 2006); instead, your Mac has the T2 Security Chip (which IMO is better than a TPM). Unfortunately, Windows 11 will not accept the T2 Security Chip as a TPM since it functions differently.

Short answer: officially, no. Unofficially, maybe.

Parallels Desktop 17 for Mac Unveils Powerful New Features for Both Apple M1 and Intel Chip, Ready for Windows 11 and macOS Monterey

If you're running Windows natively (Boot Camp), you cannot enable the TPM. This is because Macs don't have a TPM.

If you're running Windows in Parallels Desktop, you might be able to enable a virtual TPM. Parallels Desktop creates and manages the virtual TPM for you.

• Parallels Desktop 15 and 16 only let you use a virtual TPM if you're using the Pro or Business subscription, and only for Intel-based Macs.

• Parallels Desktop 17 or later lets you use a virtual TPM on any Mac, with any subscription or one-time purchase.

I'm hoping that Windows 11 will work in a virtual machine on Macs. Unfortunately Microsoft seems to be against that idea.
