Windows 10: Can I add a TPM 2.0 chip to my laptop?

I'm using a Dell Latitude 7450 5th gen with Intel Core® i7-6600U 2.60 Ghz processer, thats been bypass upgraded to windows 11 already, is it possible to add a TPM 2.0 chip to the motherboard of this laptop?

Bitlocker on my newer model laptop with TPM chip

I am sorry but the link that you provided was of no use. My bitlocker is apparently working as it should on this Samsung S9 laptop which has a TPM chip, but no TPM module. I took it to a computer shop to discover that the module is missing. We also turned
off bitlocker and the laptop decrypted in about 20 minutes. That is fast considering that there is 80GB+ data on its SSD hard drive.

I am no happy that my laptop boots up directly to the Windows password screen. I need it to boot up the the bitlocker password screen first.

Do I possibly need to change the settings on my TPM chip equipped (but not TPM module equipped) laptop as I did on my desktop PCs that do not have TPM chips? On those I changed the settings to authenticate without TPM.

Please help me figure out how to make my laptop boot to the bitlocker password screen before proceeding to the Windows password screen.

 

TPM chip locked out

Something went wrong with a TPM chip on one of our laptops.

The laptop asked for the Bitlocker recovery key (which it accepted) but didn't let us into the Azure connected Windows account with the PIN we created.

We logged in under the Local Admin account and turned Bitlocker off.

Now the TPM chip is locked. We can't enable it from tpm.msc as it says;





It's been like this for 24 hours now.

I've clear the TPM chip in the BIOS

I've also flashed the BIOS

I've reset Windows using the 'Recovery' console in the settings.

I even tried enabling Bitlocker without a TPM chip from gpedit.msc and we're getting the same error message.

What can we do? How do we clear the TPM chip since we are the owners?

 

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.
