Same here. Yeah, that's a good call. Also, double-check your disk partition style—it needs to be GPT, not MBR, for the install to work.

Agreed, and it's worth making sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too. That one trips up a lot of people.

This. I had the same problem. I had to manually turn on TPM 2.0 in my BIOS before the installer would finally work. Good luck!

Agreed. Yeah, that's the usual culprit. Also, double-check Secure Boot is enabled while you're in there.

Same here. I had the same problem. For me, it was actually the TPM module being disabled in the BIOS.
