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.

 

PC Windows 11 Upgrade - Secure Boot and TPM 2.0

Thank you for the reply and info @dashdotdot

I have a few follow up questions if that's ok!

I have gone into BIOS settings before to enable TPM 2.0 and enable secure boot but as you said the PC did not boot up and I had to short one of the components of the PC to reset to default settings before,

What would the step by step process be to update to windows 11?

I was told before to enable TPM in BIOS then use a USB with Windows 11 on it to install it. Is there a simpler way?

 

PC Cannot run Windows 11, even though TPM and secure boot are enabled

Welcome to Ten Forums.


There are some more requirements that the PC Health app checks besides secure boot and TPM 2.0. There is a list of supported processors too.

There is a sister-site to Ten Forums called Eleven Forum, a lot of us are discussing it there such as in this thread.
