So I'm getting round to preparing my PC for Windows 11, and I just have to activate TPM 2.0. I have found it in UEFI BIOS and went to activate it and this warning came up. Where can I find/set the firmware TPM key.

I'd rather know this before activating TPM, than get caught with my pants down at a later date.

Ok thanks, so nothing for me to securely store. I'll proceed with the activation then.

    If it's any consolation, I have an AMD processor with an fTPM (their version of TPM on the CPU), and I didn't have any issues upgrading to Win 11 Pro. BitLocker is optional, so if you don't plan to encrypt your drive, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Most likely, they're just covering their asses in the event somebody upgrades their hardware and gets locked out of their boot drive.
