Can confirm. I had the same problem. My older board needed a BIOS update to enable that TPM support, even though the CPU was on the list.

You could also try manually enabling the fTPM setting in your BIOS, since sometimes it's just switched off by default.

Yeah, that's a solid fix. Also, double-check that Secure Boot is enabled while you're in there.

You could also try updating your motherboard BIOS, as that's often required for TPM 2.0 support.
