Windows 10: Compatible TPM cannot be found but is definately available

I was playing Valorant a while back 1 year ago maybe perfectly fine and their anti-cheat requires TPM 2.0+ to be enabled. Recently I reinstalled the game and it gave me a warning say I cannot play without TPM 2.0 enabled. I searched around and found different solutions which did not work. I tried turning it on from BIOS and no luck. I am not sure what has happened as I used to have it available. I understand it is something to do with Windows matching your HWID to your windows licence so I went and bought another licence, but still no luck. I have also checked that I am able to have TPM 2.0

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.

 

Is this compatible?

I think I have narrowed down my mobo selection to the ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus but, the reviews suggest checking the Qualified Vendors List for memory on the ASUS site as this board can be particular. The information is not currently available. It was suggested in one review that the compatiblity of memory to this board on their list was not accurate. Many other reviews suggest no problems with memory compatibility.

Can anyone tell me if the Corsair XMS2 2gb (2x1gb)- DDR2/800 Twin2X2408-6400 would work troule free on this ASUS board?

Another question....I am planning to use an Intel Core 2DUO E6400 Conroe 2.13ghz on this board. What the heck do I use for a heatsink? There are so many to choose from and I know nothing about them....

Thanks, Chirp

 

TPM vs Bitlocker. This device cannot use TPM. Is my TPM or isn't compatible with Windows 10/11 ?

A few details up front, my Windows 10 is able to inform me about TPM status:

-TPM Present: True

-TPM Version: 2.0

-TPM Manufacturer ID: INTC

-TPM Manufacturer Full Name: Intel

TpmPresent : True

TpmReady : True

TpmEnabled : True

TpmActivated : True

TpmOwned : True

IsActivated_InitialValue=TRUE

IsEnabled_InitialValue=TRUE

IsOwned_InitialValue=TRUE

ManufacturerId=1229870147

ManufacturerIdTxt=INTC

It seems that TPM module is ready to use by Windows/BitLocker.

However, when I try to encrypt the Windows drive using BitLocker the message like this is displayed:

'This device cannot use a Trusted Platform Module. "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM" option in the "Require additional authentication at start-up" policy for OS volumes.'

Does it mean that my active INTC Intel TPM is incompatible and cannot be used with Bitlocker ?

Why does "PC Health Check" inform the TPM 2.0 is enabled and suggests that this TPM 2.0 is compatible with Windows 11 ?
