How to check if the Windows PC has a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. The TPM chip is a secure cryptographic processor designed to perform encryption operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms, making it resistant to tampering and malware that can't interfere with TPM's security functions.

This guide will show you how to check if your Windows PC has the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security hardware chip, as well as see the TPM details and version, if any.
