Windows 10: enabling tpm in BIOS when i dont have a tpm

i enabled tpm in my BIOS when i dont have a tpm then my computer didnt boot, so i turned off my computer and turned back on re entered the BIOS and disabled the tpm and now my pc works fine. Will enabling the tpm in my BIOS in the first place damage my PC in any way?

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.

 

Cannot Turn on TPM

Yesterday the TPM was locked on my laptop.

Following expiration of the lock-out period I updated the TPM from 1.2 to 2.0 in the bios.

Now when I try and prepare the TPM I get the error message detailed in the picture.

I have tried a number of actions to rectify including the following:

• Turned TPM off and on
• Disabled and Enabled TPM
• Cleared the TPM

Any ideas on how to rectify this?

The only thing to mention is that I updated the Bios to the latest version earlier in the week then I did the TPM Bios update.

 

TPM

Press Windows key + R

open TPM management by enteringtpm.msc in the Run window.

Hit Enter

In the right-hand pane, click on Clear TPM and wait for Windows to restart automatically.

After restarting, open BIOS settings (UEFI in my case).

Again clear the TPM from the BIOS settings. It may be listed under Security tab.

Save the changes and exit the BIOS.
