Another option is to manually check your TPM and Secure Boot settings in the BIOS, since those often trip people up.

Same here. Yeah, that's a good call. Also, double-check your disk partition style—it needs to be GPT, not MBR, for the install to work.

Agreed, and it's worth making sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too. That one trips up a lot of people.

This. I had the same problem. I had to manually turn on TPM 2.0 in my BIOS before the installer would finally work. Good luck!

Agreed. Yeah, that's the usual culprit. Also, double-check Secure Boot is enabled while you're in there.

Same here. I had the same problem. For me, it was actually the TPM module being disabled in the BIOS.

Yeah, that TPM thing catches a lot of people. You might also double-check that Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too.

I had the same problem. I had to go into the BIOS and manually enable the TPM setting, even though my CPU was fine. Let me know if that works.

Yep, this happened to me too. I also had to make sure Secure Boot was turned on in the BIOS. Let me know if that works.

This. I had the same problem. For me, it was also that my TPM 2.0 was disabled in the BIOS, so I had to turn that on along with Secure Boot.
