How Updated Documentation and TPM Insights Simplify Your Windows 11 Migration

Migrating to Windows 11 is a critical move for IT departments looking to enhance security, performance, and overall user experience. To take full advantage of these benefits, it’s essential to ensure your IT infrastructure meets the necessary requirements, particularly the Trusted Platform Module (TPM)—a key component for securing your upgrade.

Why TPM settings matters for Windows 11-migration

Windows 11 introduces major improvements in security, including advanced encryption methods that rely on TPM. This module is a must-have for protecting sensitive data and enabling the smooth rollout of Windows 11. Without TPM compliance, organizations may face delays in the upgrade process or leave themselves vulnerable to security risks.

The role of IT discovery and documentation for smooth migration

Accurate and updated documentation is vital during any migration process. vScope’s IT Discovery, makes it easy to track TPM-related information, such as version, status, and hardware compatibility. This insight ensures that your systems are ready for the transition and reduces the likelihood of unforeseen issues.

With real-time data on your hardware and security infrastructure, you can quickly address any gaps, ensuring that the migration to Windows 11 happens smoothly and on time.

How vScope helps you manage TPM and IT documentation

vScope provides IT teams with an intuitive solution to manage and update their IT documentation. Whether it’s listing your TPM version or keeping track of other critical hardware requirements, the tool helps streamline the entire migration process.

To successfully migrate to Windows 11, your devices must meet the following TPM requirements:

  • TPM Version: Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0. This is a hardware-based security standard that enhances encryption and data protection. Devices with TPM 1.2 or older versions will not be compatible with Windows 11.
  • TPM Activation: TPM must be enabled in your system’s BIOS or UEFI settings. Even if your hardware includes TPM 2.0, it may need to be manually activated to meet Windows 11’s migration requirements.

Without proper documentation, critical steps may be missed, resulting in costly delays or compliance risks. By using vScope, you eliminate these risks and make sure your IT infrastructure is always ready for future updates.
