TPM 2.0 has been around since 2013, but since July 28, 2016, vendors are required to provide their machines with TPM 2.0. The TPM chip, or Trusted Platform Module, is a hardware component on the motherboard, providing physical-level security for Windows 10. Windows 7 will only work with TPM 1.2. TPM 2.0 is not supported on HP platforms with Windows 7. Windows 8.x and Windows 10 can support either TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0. TPM can be converted between TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 up to a maximum of 64 times. The utility can only be run in Windows 7, Windows 8.x, or Windows 10.

This article provides a resolution for the issue that a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) isn't recognized as a compatible device on some Windows 7-based devices.

Original product version: Windows 10 - all editions
Original KB number: 2895212

Symptoms

On some Windows 7-based devices, a TPM isn't recognized as a compatible device and can't be used for certain applications such as BitLocker Drive Encryption and Virtual Smart Card. Additionally, if you check the status of the TPM by using Windows TPM Management Console, you receive a Compatible TPM cannot be found message.

Also, you may experience the same behavior on some Windows-based devices when you do an in-place upgrade from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7.

Cause

This issue occurs because the TPM is using the OEM driver and not the Windows built-in Trusted Platform Module driver.

Note

When you open Device Manager on some devices, the TPM is listed under System Devices and not under Security Devices.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, open Device Manager on the device on which you're experiencing the issue, and then uninstall the Trusted Platform Module driver.

If you do a hardware scan, the TPM will be detected as a security device and will use the Microsoft driver. Additionally, the TPM will now be listed under Security Devices as Trusted Platform Module 1.2.

TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is an international standard for a secure cryptoprocessor, used to secure hardware through the integration of cryptographic keys into devices.

A vulnerability in Infineon TPM hardware has been discovered recently with outdated TPM firmware using an algorithm that generates weaker RSA keys. Updating the TPM firmware prevents the generation of weak TPM keys - after the update, the TPM will generate keys using an improved hardware algorithm. However, it will also still be necessary to revoke weak TPM keys that were generated by the outdated firmware.

Please note that while this discovery is noteworthy, the vulnerability does not negate the benefits of hardware encryption, as these do not depend on algorithm generation. Overall, the historical benefits of hardware encryption (OS independence, performance and permanence) remain and should be taken into account when deciding an encryption solution.
