Agreed. You could also check if your motherboard has a firmware TPM setting you can enable in the BIOS. Good luck!

Can confirm. Yeah, and if it doesn't, you might be able to add a discrete TPM 2.0 module to your motherboard.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. I ended up just sticking with Windows 10 on my older machine and it's been perfectly fine.

Can confirm. You could also look into a registry edit workaround to bypass the TPM check, though it's not officially supported.
