Need to check whether a machine has a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip and if it's enabled - relevant for Windows 11 compatibility, BitLocker, or general security configuration? This one-liner pulls it straight from the system.

Prerequisites:

- Privileges: Run as Administrator
- Module: Built-in, no import needed

Quick Command:

```powershell
Get-CimInstance -Namespace "root/CIMV2/Security/MicrosoftTpm" -ClassName Win32_Tpm
```

Example Output:

```Powershell
IsActivated_InitialValue    : True
IsEnabled_InitialValue      : True
IsOwned_InitialValue        : True
ManufacturerId              : 1229346816
ManufacturerIdTxt           : IFX
ManufacturerVersion         : 7.63
SpecVersion                 : 2.0, 0, 1.38
```

How It Works:

- Get-CimInstance here queries a dedicated CIM namespace (root/CIMV2/Security/MicrosoftTpm) specifically for TPM data - unlike most system info covered so far, TPM isn't part of the standard root/cimv2 namespace, since it's a security-sensitive component with its own dedicated management path.
- IsEnabled\_InitialValue and IsActivated\_InitialValue show whether the TPM is turned on and active.
- ManufacturerIdTxt shows the chip manufacturer - common values include IFX (Infineon), NTC (Nuvoton), or PRLS on Parallels virtual machines (indicating a virtual/firmware TPM rather than a physical chip).
- SpecVersion shows the TPM specification version - 2.0 is required for Windows 11.
