In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the Valorant TPM 2.0 Error on your Windows 11 PC. With the OS’s latest release, the Redmond giant created quite a buzz in the tech community. While the plethora of new and intriguing features, as well as the complete UI redesign, played a major role, but they weren’t the only ones to create noise. Much of the debate surrounded the hard-bound requirement for every PC to support TPM 2.0. Those that didn’t have it were left with no choice but to stay on Windows 11.
Microsoft then relaxed this rule and allowed users even with TPM 1.2 to install their latest OS [well they were the first ones to share the workaround of bypassing the TPM 2.0 requirement via Registry Editor]. But while the OS giants are a little bit flexible with it, the same cannot be said for various developers. Some of the most popular games, including Valorant have made it compulsory for your Windows 11 PC to support TPM 2.0, or else it will throw an error and refuse to function. Along with that, your system should also have Secure Boot enabled.
For the unware, both Trusted Platform Module and Secure Boot acts as stringent security measure and provides a safe working environment for your system to function. And various developers are now enforcing these rules so that hackers might not be able to exploit their products via malicious apps or bypass the HWID bans. However, a few genuine users are stuck in limbo due to the implementation of this hardware-based requirement. If you are also on the same page, then this guide shall help you fix this Valorant TPM 2.0 Error on your Windows 11 PC. Follow along.
