Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

30 seconds on Google would've answered your question.

The TPM is part of the Intel Management Engine in your CPU.

In your motherboard UEFI firmware, goto Security - Trusted Computing and enable Security Device support.

Et voilà.

Yep, you're right I can enable it.

I was going off of MSI's spec page for my motherboard and it says it has a connector for the TPM module so I assumed that meant it wasn't there by default.

To quote Under Siege 2 "assumption is the mother of all fuck ups".

3 years, dude! 😁

Enjoy giving Windows 11 a proper spin. I recommend choosing "English (World)" as the language/location, then you don't get any of the post install bloat / sponsored apps, etc installed too. Then when you log in, just change your locale to the correct one if you want to use the Microsoft Store. Or don't, if you want that to remain disabled.
