Is the TPM module included here? In the description I only find the TPM connector, but nothing about whether the module itself is included and Windows 11 can be operated with it.

Question

Answer

A physical TPM module is not absolutely necessary.

In addition to physical TPM modules, there are also fTPM (firmware TPM, called PTT at Intel). 
Intel and AMD have been integrating TPM version 2.0 into their CPUs for several years. To be able to use this, the BIOS of the PC/notebook must support it and it must be activated there.

Before buying a TPM module for the mainboard, which may be unnecessary, you should check whether the BIOS allows fTPM / PTT via CPU and whether this only needs to be activated.
