TPM 2.0 has only been required on new PCs since mid-2016, and since it's a requirement for Windows 11, it's safe to assume that everyone running the new OS has it. Windows 10 has the same system requirements as Windows 7, which is well over a decade old now. The reason that such a feature wouldn't show up on Windows 10 is because so many people without TPM 2.0 are already using the platform. It means that if your specific hardware or device ID gets banned, you can't spoof a new device ID. After all, the Trusted Platform Module is all about security. Services like Easy Anti-Cheat also advertise kernel-level protection.Enforcing TPM 2.0 helps to prevent people from cheating. Shut down Vanguard for any reason, and you need to reboot Windows before you can launch a protected game. Vanguard is already notable for the low-level access it has to your system-it uses a kernel-mode driver that launches when Windows boots, whether you're playing a game that requires it or not. PCGamer reports that those requirements do not appear to apply to Windows 10 users, at least not yet (any Windows 10 system bought or built within the last five years or so will usually include TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot support, though one or both may be disabled by default). Users running Vanguard on Windows 11 systems have seen pop-ups notifying them that a TPM 2.0 module and Secure Boot support will both need to be present and enabled before Vanguard-protected games like Valorant will run on a Windows 11 PC. We already know that Windows 11 will officially require a TPM 2.0 module and Secure Boot support for installation when the operating system is released on October 5, but it looks like Riot Games' Vanguard anti-cheat software will be getting in on the fun, too.
