Same here. Another option is to look into a registry edit workaround, though it's not officially supported and might not get future updates.

Agreed. You could also check if your motherboard has a firmware TPM setting you can enable in the BIOS. Good luck!

Can confirm. Yeah, and if it doesn't, you might be able to add a discrete TPM 2.0 module to your motherboard.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. I ended up just sticking with Windows 10 on my older machine and it's been perfectly fine.

Can confirm. I had the same problem with my older system. I ended up using that bypass and it's been running fine for over a year now.

Yeah, that bypass is still the go-to, but have you double-checked your BIOS to see if you can actually enable TPM 2.0? Sometimes it's hidden in there.

+1 Agreed, and if it's truly not there, you can still force the upgrade with a registry edit to bypass the TPM check. Hope that helps.

Same here. Just be aware that bypassing the check can mean missing out on future security updates. Good luck!

Can confirm. Yeah, that's the real catch with bypassing it—have you checked if your motherboard has a firmware update to enable TPM 2.0?
