Windows Upgrade Help and more

Quick tip: Ah, the TPM requirement can be a real headache! A common next step is to check if the TPM setting in your ASUS BIOS is specifically set to "Firmware TPM" or "Discrete TPM" depending on your hardware. If you'd like, I can walk you through the exact BIOS menus to double-check. Hope that helps.

I’m trying to upgrade my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, but the PC Health Check tool says my system doesn’t meet the requirements due to TPM. The error says “TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled.” I have an ASUS motherboard from around 2018. I went into the BIOS and found a TPM setting, but enabling it didn’t fix the check. Has anyone else hit this wall? What am I missing to get this working?

You could also check if there's a separate "PTT" or "fTPM" setting in your ASUS BIOS, as that's often how TPM is implemented on those boards.

Yeah, that's a solid point. Also, double-check that you've saved the BIOS changes and rebooted before running the check again.

Sometimes it's listed under a security or advanced settings tab, not always obvious. Let me know if that works.

This. Yeah, that's a good start. Also, make sure you save the BIOS changes and reboot before running the check again.

Agreed. Sometimes it's listed as "PTT" for Intel or "fTPM" for AMD on ASUS boards, so double-check for those names too.

This. You could also check for a separate "Security Device Support" setting that needs to be enabled first. Another option is to load the BIOS defaults, which sometimes activates the necessary security features.

Agreed. Also, make sure you're saving the BIOS changes before exiting, as that's an easy step to miss.

Same here. And double-check that the TPM setting you found is specifically for the firmware TPM, not a discrete module.
