Yeah, This happened to me too. After enabling them in BIOS, I also had to run the PC Health Check app to confirm everything was finally ready.

You could also try using the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool to do a clean install, which sometimes bypasses the upgrade block.

Yeah, that clean install trick can work. Just a heads up, it'll wipe your files, so back up anything important first.

This. I had the same problem with my older laptop. I ended up enabling TPM in the BIOS, and that finally let the upgrade go through.

Did you check if Secure Boot is also enabled in your BIOS? That's another common requirement.

Yeah, I had the same problem. I had to go into the BIOS to enable both TPM and Secure Boot before the upgrade would finally go through. Good luck!

Yeah, that's a common blocker. You might also check if Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS, as that's another requirement.

This. I had the same problem. I had to go into my BIOS and manually enable the TPM setting, even though my hardware supported it.

Same here. Yeah, what motherboard do you have? That'll help us find the exact BIOS setting.
