Windows 10: Activate TPM !

After great support from the community a few days ago regarding Windows 11 compatibility checks, I am now trying to find out how to "turn on TPM "in bios ! I have a Lenovo G700 LAPTOP, I have gone into SETTINGS, UPDATE/SECURITY, RECOVERY TROUBLESHOOT etc and then restart. I can see nothing listed in the menu regarding TPM etc. I was a little unsure what to do so came out of it ! Could do with a step by step guide relating to my model ! I went onto the Lenovo helpline but so many questions and serial numbers needed etc. I thought surely there is a easier way!! If TPM is needed for Window

:)

 

Need help on whether to clear TPM on not

It's clear as mud. As far as I can tell, it's specific to Windows, not necessarily activated programs like MacAfee, games, etc etc etc. MS Office, I have no idea.

Here's a lengthy doc on it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm

 

TPM update

Don't know if this is the right place for this thread but whatever, laptop informed me that " a firmware update is needed for you security processor (TPM)," now, i looked up what to do and from a microsoft support thing, the last step says to clear the tpm. it has a warning saying to back up my data, i would like to know what clearing the tpm does, and what measures i need to take to make sure nothing goes wrong.

 

TPM support

I couldn't find "TPM" or "Trusted Platform Module" listed in any BIOS setting on 2 of my laptops. Got the mobo ID from system specs and did a bit of searching ... ah, there it is, not actually called that exactly, but same thing, and was disabled. Enabled ... booted up, ran tpm.msc. Bingo! Alive and well.

Your search engine will be your friend (one of mine even had a YouTube step-by-step how to access the BIOS, what to look for, etc).
