I had the same problem. My ThinkPad had TPM 2.0, but the real blocker was an older Intel processor that wasn't on Microsoft's approved list.

Did you check if your specific CPU model is on Microsoft's official compatibility list?

Also, have you double-checked that TPM 2.0 is actually enabled in your BIOS?

Did you also check if Secure Boot is enabled, since that's a separate requirement?

Can confirm. Yeah, and is your CPU on Microsoft's official supported list for that model?

Agreed. You could also try manually enabling TPM and Secure Boot in your BIOS, as sometimes they get reset or aren't on by default.
