1. does this board support tpm ?

Yes.

2. is tpm required to install win11 ?

Officially, yes, but one can install Windows 11 systems without TPM 2.0 enabled.

3. it worth installing win11 with tpm ?

A better question to ask yourself is 'why do I want to install Windows 11?' This isn't meant as an anti-Win11 remark -- simply a case that if you want Win11 on your PC, then you might as well enable TPM 2.0 to meet the official requirements. Without it, you're unlikely to receive all of the routine security updates/patches that Microsoft produces.

Just asking in case I ever need to install it, better know in advance if that would require any hw changes.
