+1 You could also check if your motherboard has a TPM header and consider adding a discrete TPM module. Another option is to look into a registry edit workaround, though that's not officially supported. Hope that helps.

[pd835965962]

Yeah, that registry workaround is a thing, but have you double-checked your BIOS to see if the TPM is just disabled in there?

[PCRigUrXCDCy]

Also, is Secure Boot enabled? That's another sneaky requirement.

[tz371576]

Can confirm. You could also try manually enabling TPM in your BIOS, since sometimes it's there but just turned off.

[zInCbRuI]

Yeah, that's a common snag. If you enable it in BIOS, be sure to also turn on Secure Boot in there too.

You could also check if your motherboard has a TPM header and add a discrete module if needed.

[5b80aC]

Yeah, that's a solid suggestion. Just make sure to enable it in your BIOS after installing the module.

[LH9HQ8c2X]

Agreed. Also, double-check that Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS too, as Windows 11 needs both.

[UpyDGLKeOieg]

Yeah, I had the same problem. I ended up having to dig into my BIOS to manually enable the TPM, which was totally hidden.

I had the same problem. That CPU actually supports it, so once I enabled TPM in the BIOS, the upgrade went through.
