Trying to upgrade to Windows 11 but I’m stuck on the TPM requirement?

Did you also enable Secure Boot in the BIOS, as that's often needed alongside TPM?

+1 Yeah, and also double-check that your TPM is set to version 2.0, not 1.2, in the BIOS. Good luck!

Agreed. You could also try clearing the TPM from within Windows security settings, then re-enabling it in BIOS.

Same here. Sometimes a BIOS update is needed for TPM to work properly after enabling it.

Agreed. Yeah, that's a good point. Also, double-check that it's set to TPM 2.0 and not an older version in the BIOS.

Agreed. And after you enable it, did you remember to save and exit the BIOS?

Agreed. Yeah, that's a good point. Also, double-check that it's set to TPM 2.0 and not an older version like 1.2.

Yeah, You could also try clearing the TPM from within Windows' security settings, as a corrupted state can cause that error. Another option is to check for a BIOS update from your manufacturer, as that often resolves TPM compatibility issues.

+1 You could also bypass the check entirely with a clean install using an ISO, though that's a more involved process. Another option is to double-check that Secure Boot is enabled, as it's sometimes a hidden requirement.

Yeah, Agreed, and just to add, sometimes clearing the TPM from within Windows security settings can resolve that specific error before you try again.
