I do not have nor do some newer Gen high end gaming Mobos a TPM header.
I know you can encrypt your drives without one and use a printed backup of the key or add to USB.

Ryzen CPU's have fTPM built in that you can enable in the BIOS. This presents a TPM 2.0 to the OS so you don't need a TPM module.
 
TPM 2.0 is mandatory which is why MOST PCs everyone is using won't be able to run it. You will have to upgrade mobo with TPM 2.0 or make sure TPM is enabled in the BIOS?

Laptops unsupported are out of luck as are every other device not supporting it which is ironic since the 3 minute presentation video by MS says it supports any device lol.
 
I'm hoping it's just a case of the health checker being useless but I can't run it either, albeit checking on an i7 4790k rig which should more than good enough to run it (it works fine on win 10 and this isn't that much different)....

I really wish the health checker actually told us what the reason for us not being able to run it was, I'm guessing it's to do with the tpm 2.0 bit, tpm is something I don't think I've ever bothered using on any of my home pc's.

If they're locking out pc's without tpm 2.0 it really does feel like it's more about selling new pc's than allowing users to upgrade... they don't get any money from the 'free' upgrades, they do however from the oem sales.
