Windows 10: How to enable TPM

Hello Folks,I wanted to install windows 11 but this required the TPM enabled in My Laptop. When I run this command "tpm.msc" it showing "Compatible TPM cannot found on this computer. Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later and it is turned on in the BIOS" I am using Model: Dell Inspiron 15 5559Processor:IntelR CoreTM i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40 GHzInstalled Ram:8GBRunning Windows 10 Home OSThanks in advance

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 enabled but not found?

Hi Roberto,

This issue occurs because the TPM is using the OEM driver and not the Windows built-in Trusted Platform Module driver. To address your issue, we suggest reinstalling the Trusted Platform Module driver by uninstalling the TPM driver and restarting your
PC.

Let us know how things goes.

Regards.

 

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.
