For later.
Windows Server 2012's developmental codename was "Windows Server 8". Clue?
it looks like the hospital secretary’s computer interface in “Idiocracy”
In the management console hit Ctrl+M or go to File > Add/Remove snap-in.
On the left-hand side of the list, scroll to the bottom and find TPM Management. If it’s in the list, you have a TPM.
Every motherboard from every manufacturer distributed since 2008 has one installed. They used to be optional add-on chips, now they’re soldered to the boards.
Did, it then tried to open the snap-in. Message was' TPM cannot be found on this computer'. Should I believe it?

>>The TPM chip is a dream for the NSA.
TPM isn’t new.
“Starting in 2006, many new laptop computers have been sold with a Trusted Platform Module chip built-in. In the future, this concept could be co-located on an existing motherboard chip in computers, or any other device where a TPM’s facilities could be employed, such as a cell phone. On a PC, the LPC bus is used.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module
And I really doubt the NSA would need TPM to remotely access any Windows PC.
I don’t know of very many desktop makers that have tpm’s. Or laptops really unless you search for them.
The one thing about Win8 that I do like is that it’s more like Truecrypt. Win7 demanded a tpm and/or a usb drive to work. Win8 you can do password only in gpedit.
>>they all know what an X-Box is I bet.
And that’s who the UI on Win 8 was built for - the Useful Idiot X-Box generation of consumers.
Their purpose is to keep the cogs of the state running and consume what’s fed to them by the Vanguard Elite, nothing more.
“Buy More, Be Happy. Consume.”

[ the default setting for most TPMs for excessive wrong passwords is to completely lock down the TPM until it’s administratively cleared from the BIOS.]
And in some cases...
“If the manufacturer of your computer has already placed a certificate in the TPM, and that certificate has expired, then when Windows 8 activates the TPM, your computer’s motherboard will brick itself.”

Oops.
I know people who look at me funny when I call the X-Box a computer.
Very disturbing moral framework they’re operating in. Everything is a system to be gamed for their amusement and selfish gain.
That management console is designed to directly interface with any brand of TPM module. If it says it’s not there, it’s not there OR it’s disabled in the BIOS.
When you machine is first booting, right after the POST beep, hit F1 or Del to go into your BIOS and poke around for a TPM option. It’s usually under “Security” or something similar.
I think you might have your facts confused.
Win7 runs fine without a TPM. It’s not a requirement.
Win8 requires UEFI AND a TPM to function properly. If you have a copy that functions without either, let me know, because they’re as rare as hen’s teeth.
Unless you’re talking about RC. That doesn’t count.
*slow clap*
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some supposedly-educated people are when it comes to certificates. There’s no such thing as a non-expiring certificate, so unless you’re setting it to expire in 50+ years, it’s going to blow up your system at some point.
Oops.
Wow. astonishing stupidity is putting it mildly.

I used this method on Win8. “Select Enabled radio button and check the box for “Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...”. Click OK and close the policy editor.”

most health insurance co are still using XP with zero plans to upgrade to win7/8
