According to GB Australia, there is but ONE places in NSW that is SUPPOSED to have them but they say they have NEVER heard of such a thing and other places that purport to have them are SOLD out and it looks that only SCALPERS will have them. Is GB thinking of supplying again these items or, is it Tough and buy a New motherboard, CPU and memory?

If you know anyone in the UK then ask if they would purchase one for you and you'll forward them the money when they send you the proof of purchase, email invoice.
£12 on Scan.co.uk

£18 in total with postage,.. + whatever it is to post a little padded envelope to Australia.
I'm not sure what a small padded package would cost, but the whole thing wouldn't weigh more than a birthday card.
I can't see it costing you over £30 sterling.

Thanks for the reply. I will have to wait as they appear to have none.

People just don't jump the gun so fast. Microsoft is being hammer about the TPM. At this point they are maybe rethinking the TPM. The CPU's & MB's that are windows ready are Intel 8th gen and up.
Now you can get the Module but you CPU might not work with windows 11. I have a Ryzen 3 2200g and it doesn't meet the windows 11 Specs. The mother board does, but the CPU doesn't.

Agreed, however, I used the Microsoft window 11 scan application (Windows PC Health Check Setup) prior to making my decision.
I'd not be buying the TPM chip otherwise, Plus, even if MS does rethink this, I'd like to enable the TPM anyhow.
though, I'd be surprised if MS does disable this feature.

If they do go with the TPM feature they have lowest ever people upgrading to Windows 11. All my computers can run Windows 11. But I will have a copy of Windows 11 just to test it. But it will be like 2025 or later before I really use it.
All this is a way for Microsoft to try and control what you have on you computer. They tried this with windows 10 with Secure Boot. That didn't work very will did it. Plus they are not telling you everything too.
You need the right CPU, Directx 12 video card, TPM support, & you will have to enabled secure boot too. Plus maybe account with Microsoft too.
