Trying to upgrade to Windows 11 but I’m stuck on the TPM check?

Same here. I had the same problem. After enabling Secure Boot, I had to go back into the BIOS and change the boot order so it recognized my drive again. Good luck!

This happened to me too. I had to clear the TPM from the security settings in Windows, then reboot and re-enable it in the BIOS.

Yeah, that worked for me. Also, make sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS—Windows 11 needs that too. Good luck!

Agreed. Another option is to double-check in your BIOS that it's set to TPM 2.0 and not an older version like 1.2.

Can confirm. You could also try clearing the TPM from your security settings in Windows, as that sometimes resets it properly for the check.

Can confirm. Yeah, and after clearing it, you might need to restart and check the BIOS again to make sure it's still enabled.

Same here. You could also try updating your BIOS to the latest version, as that sometimes adds proper TPM 2.0 support.

Yeah, and after updating the BIOS, double-check that the TPM is set to "Enabled" and not just "Available" in the settings.

This. You could also try clearing the TPM from within Windows' security settings, as that sometimes resets it properly for the check.
