Windows 10: Windows 11 Won't activate after TPM reset!

I've recently updated my BIOS and it needed a TPM reset in order to function properly! Once I did reset it. Windows didn't activate automatically! I tried to use the command prompt it order to fetch my product key to reactivate windows but it doesn't work!!

:)

 

Need help on whether to clear TPM on not

It's clear as mud. As far as I can tell, it's specific to Windows, not necessarily activated programs like MacAfee, games, etc etc etc. MS Office, I have no idea.

Here's a lengthy doc on it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...initialize-and-configure-ownership-of-the-tpm

 

CPU Change With Activated TPM in Windows 11

Dear Microsoft Community,

Situation:

• I recently replaced my old CPU (Ryzen 5 2600) with a Ryzen 5 5600, see system information below
  
• Failed to consider that TPM was activated; I did not use TPM for BitLocker/drive encryption
  

The first boot up showed the following message:





Initially, I pressed N, which resulted in a re-boot that left me with the same message. Then, I followed the recommendation stated in several online forums and pressed Y (important to note: Z on a German keyboard). This was succeded by a seemingly normal system boot into Windows 11 - all files are (afaik) accessible.

Problem:

Checking the system security reveals that the status for "Nachweis" (~ verification) is "Nicht unterstützt" (not supported), see image below.





Updating the drivers via device manager did not solve the issue.

Questions:

• How do I get TPM to correctly work again? I have not yet tried to remove TPM.
  
• Can I safely sell / pass on my old CPU even though it was removed with an active TPM?
  

System information:

• Previous CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600
  
• Current CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
  
• Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Pro B450 (F63d)
  
• OS: Windows 11 Education, Version 22H2, Build 22621.819
  

Thank you all for your support - I am happy to provide more information if needed!
