Windows 10: Updating to 11. Wont let me enable TPM

I just bought a new iBUYPOWER PC. I'm trying to upgrade to Windows 11 but I cannot get the TPM to enable. I've tried several ways, followed the instructions online including going directly into the bios but it just won't let me. Advice?

:)

 

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 and Windows 11.

Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 to be present and enabled. No, TPM can only be enabled or disabled in the bios. A lot of OEMs seem to be issuing bios updates recently, with the sole purpose of changing their bios default from disabled to enabled in preparation for W11.

Just because TPM is enabled doesn't mean it will be in use. Whether its used or not, that is a user setting within Windows, W10 or W11.

 

TPM and Windows 11.

I have TPM enabled coincidentally when the BIOS was flashed. Secure boot is enabled. All was luck as I should not have taken the chance to brick the pc.
However, I heard you need TPM enabled to get Windows 11 and it is better protection. It did become enabled after flash. Asus z390 Tuf plus gaming WIFI.

Is there another way besides the BIOS to enable TPM as in Defender under device security.
