What does Trusted Platform Module do?
TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a computer chip (microcontroller) that can securely store artifacts used to authenticate the platform (your PC or laptop). These artifacts can include passwords, certificates, or encryption keys.
Should trusted platform module be enabled?
Although your device may include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s enabled by default. If it’s not, you may need to enable it manually to use features like BitLocker on Windows 10 or perform an in-place upgrade or fresh install of Windows 11.

Does TPM affect PC performance?
To my recollection the answer should be a plain NO because the TPM acts only as cryptographic storage of keys and cryptographic operations on the disk’s data is done by the CPU with performance based on hardware encryption acceleration.
