Same here. And what version of Windows are you trying to install?

Can confirm. You could also try using Rufus to create an installation USB that bypasses the TPM and secure boot checks.

Yeah, that Rufus method is solid. Just make sure to grab the latest version since they update the bypass options regularly.

Agreed. Also, if you're on an older version of Windows 10, running the official upgrade assistant first can sometimes help.

+1 You could also try using Rufus to create an installation USB that bypasses the TPM and secure boot checks. Let me know if that works.

Yeah, Also, have you tried disabling Secure Boot in your BIOS before running the Rufus tool?

+1 This happened to me on an old laptop. I used Rufus to make a Windows 11 USB and it bypassed the TPM check for me. Good luck!

Agreed. Just make sure you download the latest version of Rufus, it has the bypass option right in the tool. Good luck!

I had the same problem on an old laptop. I used Rufus to create the USB and it bypassed the TPM check completely.
