How To Enable TPM 2.0 on Windows 10 PC To Meet Windows 11 System Requirements

What's going on everyone ?

A quick video here to share with all of you on how you can enable the T PM 2.0 module on your Windows PC or maybe your laptop to meet the Windows 11 system requirements .

So Windows 11 is just around the corner and I was taking a look at my computer , ran the tests on it here to see if it was compatible with the Windows PC health checker thing .

And to my surprising , I got this message back T PM is not detected .

Now , that doesn't necessarily mean your computer does not have T PM 2.0 I would say if any of you folks watching have built your system or you even purchased a new computer at a retail location in the last 3 to 4 years or so , you should have this option available .

But understand that most of them are shipping , the boards are coming with this option disabled .

So even if you purchase one or you built one , it's probably disabled in the bios UEF I , and I'm going to show you how I went in and enabled mine and maybe that'll help you out and then actually fixed my problem and this message went away and it was 100% compatible .

So there's two other spots real quick .

I want to show you folks where I went and took a look at some stuff down here in the lower left corner .

I right , clicked on that little window and went to the wrong command here and I typed in T PM dot MS C ok .

And I clicked , ok .

And that'll bring up the trusted platform module management on local computer .

And what's important here is the message that says compatible T PM cannot be found .

OK .

So cannot be found on this computer .

Verify it has 1.2 or later or it is turned on in the bios .

That is where my issue is lying right now .

If I go back to this little window and go to settings and I'm going to go to update and security and then over here on the left where it says windows security , I'm going to click that .

And then over here on the right side , click device security .

Once I enable it , we'll see something new in here .

A new title right now .

It says standard hardware security , not supported unless you have a super old system .

And you know , it's beyond five years old and even , even then it might work .

But if it's really old , you probably won't have this available .

Now , if you have a desktop or a laptop , all you need to know is which key to press on the keyboard to get into the bio slash UE I .

So the first thing I'm gonna do here is I'm going to go ahead and just simply shut down my computer , but it needs to be completely powered off .

So , during the reboot process right now , my computer is starting up and when it first comes to that first screen , I'll show you down the bottom , there's going to be some stuff and it says right here right in the side press delete to run bio setup .

Now , in order to get into the bios , you need to actually be pressing the key that yours tells you to press prior to this screen .

I know right now my computer's off .

So I'm going to start pressing my delete key repeatedly .

Now , yours might be the F one key , the escape key .

It could be the F 10 key that gets me into my system bios just like this .

Now , some of you may have different looking at bio screens than this .

You're looking for something like basically go into your settings like I'm going to do on this particular MSI board and you want to go to something if , if you can find a tab in there called security and then I click on security .

And then the first one here , it says trusted computing .

If I click on that , mine sits right in here , mine says security device support , disabled TPM .

Device selections PTT .

So if it's already selected for PTT , I know that I have an intel , it may , it may be different for some of you who have ad systems .

But this part here that says disabled , I'm going to go ahead and click enable .

You do have other options here .

And for again , depending on what system you guys have , you probably will be just fine leaving it at the default selection .

PTT is just fine platform , trusted technology or whatever it stands for .

I'm going to leave this enabled and I'm going to do now is basically go to click X but you need to make sure you get a pop up message here and says save configuration , you want to make sure you choose .

Yes , ok ?

And once you save it , your system should reboot like normal .

I'm going to start by going down to the lower left corner to the little window .

I'm going to go ahead and right , click on that and click run and I'm going to run the trusted platform module dot MS C again and we're going to go ahead and click , ok ?

And now we're going to take a look and see what it says in there T PM is ready for use .

That's looking good , that's looking a little better .

Going to go into settings .

Once again , the settings go into updating security .

Then over here where it says windows security go into that , go over on the right here to device security .

And now what we should see is something new in here .

And we do remember before I showed you underneath core isolation , it says things weren't compatible .

Now it says security processor and it says the trusted platform module is providing additional encryption for your device .

So we could actually click on that .

And then you will see now that the spec version of the T PM is 2.0 status ready .

All that good stuff .

So information about the trusted platform Moro , let's check right now , check now and see what comes back .

This PC meets Windows 11 requirements .

Great news .

So I can click see all results .

Now , you can see this PC support , secure boot T PM , 2.0 is enabled on this PC and on down the list .

So I have 64 gigs of ram .

My computer has 14 cores , whatever everything on my computer I knew was up to date .

I knew that there was an issue somewhere .

Maybe this video will be helpful to some of you and avoid causing you to go out and think you need to purchase a brand new computer because of something not being enabled .

So I hope you found the video helpful if you did hit the like button and share it .

And good luck with your Windows 11 install because I'll have a bunch of videos coming on that probably as well .

Thanks a lot guys , I'll see you in the next one .
