Windows Upgrade Help and more

Yeah, that's a common snag—have you actually enabled TPM in your BIOS settings yet?

Had the same problem. I had this issue with my own 7700K. From what I have seen, it's strictly about the generation—Microsoft requires 8th Gen Intel or newer for the security features. It's a hard block, so there's no official way around it.

Agreed. Also, make sure the TPM isn't set to "Hidden" in the BIOS, as that can still block it.

Yeah, and if you're feeling adventurous, you could look into the unofficial workarounds to bypass the CPU check, but that's at your own risk.

I had the same problem with an older Intel chip. It's super frustrating when your PC feels capable but gets blocked by that list. Hope that helps.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. For me, it turned out my USB port wasn't supplying enough stable power, even with a fast drive.
