If you don’t have a valid token generated by the hardware device on your machine, the website can just refuse to serve you.

A hacked copy of windows wouldnt boot with TPM switched on.

The TPM module only generates valid tokens it if your boot sequence isn’t tampered. That boot sequence can force your machine to validate itself with windows servers to ensure it isn’t hacked.

A hacked copy of Windows may be prevented from working when you go online.
