Yeah, I had the same problem. For me, the real culprit was the TPM 2.0 setting being disabled in the BIOS, even though the chip was there.

Yeah, You could also check if Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS, as that's another common requirement that gets overlooked. Let me know if that works.

Agreed. Also, double-check that TPM 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS, not just present. That one trips up a lot of Optiplex models. Let me know if that works.

You could also try manually enabling Secure Boot in the BIOS, as that's another common requirement it might be silently failing on.
