Yeah, that registry workaround is a thing, but have you double-checked your BIOS to see if the TPM is just disabled in there?

Also, is Secure Boot enabled? That's another sneaky requirement.

Can confirm. You could also try manually enabling TPM in your BIOS, since sometimes it's there but just turned off.

Yeah, that's a common snag. If you enable it in BIOS, be sure to also turn on Secure Boot in there too.

You could also check if your motherboard has a TPM header and add a discrete module if needed.

Yeah, that's a solid suggestion. Just make sure to enable it in your BIOS after installing the module.

Agreed. Also, double-check that Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS too, as Windows 11 needs both.

Yeah, I had the same problem. I ended up having to dig into my BIOS to manually enable the TPM, which was totally hidden.
