Hi all, I just made a video where I explain how to bypass the artificial limit on TPM / CPU and install Windows 11 on your old PC. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/UPPP-GyqMeY/v-deo.html
In my case (Gigabyte MB with an Intel B360 chipset, AMIBIOS firmware): 1. Press DEL to enter setup 2. Go to Advanced mode, if you're not in it already 3. Go to the "Peripherals" tab 4. Select the "Trusted computing" menu item 5. Enable trusted computing 6. If the TPM option doesn't show up, restart and re-enter the BIOS 7. Go to the same place 8. Enable TPM 2.0
Dude you don't understand how long I was looking around to fix this man. there is no way that playing a game requires so much bull to be done. 10/10 video bro
Thank you for your help. I did follow the step from the Microsoft website but got lost at the point of finding PCH - FW configuration as they didn’t mention this. Awesome 👏🏻
Hey Andy, I’ve been wrapping my head around why my PCs saying ‘system requirements not met’, figured out it was because of this reason. You made it so simple, thank you!
For AMD you really just have to go into the BIOS > Security and enable the advanced Security options then fTPM was enabled and the Windows 11 Tool said it could run
What should I do if I can’t see the advanced option after pressing advanced mode? I can see favourites, tweaker, settings, system info., boot and save and exit and that’s all. I don’t know what to do
@@stbansar2005no honestly I downgraded my pc from Windows 11 to 10 and then went back to 11. That got its own problems but I got it fixed eventually if I remember correctly
When you changed the setting in the BIOS (I have that ability as well) did it mess up your current isntallation of Windows 10? Did you see any issues when you rebooted into the current OS?
Hello, great video but there is a problem with me, i dont have "TPM Device Selection" Option in Advanced\PCH-FW Configuration does that mean my motherboard cant support TPM or what should i do
@@HandyAndyTechTips I have the exact same motherboard, processor, and bios version as you, but do not have the PCH-FW Configuration option. Any suggestions?
On most Asus boards TPM can be enabled like this: Intel. Advanced>PCH HW configuration and go for PTT and enable firmware TPM. AMD. Advanced>AMDFtpm>Device selection and enable Firmware TPM. If applied press F10 and reboot. To be certain recheck with that Windows tool or type in TPM.msc (which I am certain you only find in Win 10 Pro but I cannot confirm that) If properly enabled all info can be found there!)
the thing is for me: (cpu r9 5950x) I got the firmware tpm selected but I still dont see it shown in the tpm "checker" The pc also got delivered with firmware tpm selected already any ideas how to fix?
It may be rather more complicated than this, particularly if like me you have a PC that has been upgraded over time. Enabling 'secure boot' may require that you are fully configured for UEFI/GPT.
Bravo, I was sitting there looking for a physical TPM chip for the motherboard to buy then came across this video and realised i had PTT all along it just needed to be enabled in the bios, thank you saves me time and money.
Wow, thank you, Andy, this video was just on time!!! I have an Asus ROG Hero X but my options are completely different from yours under PCH-FW Configuration...nothing like Firmware TPM. This is going to cause a lot of headaches for nontech-savvy people 👍👍👍
my motherboard is asus PRIME-H310M-D and in PCH-FW Configuration bios it simply has a selection disabled/enabled, was marked as disabled by default, marked it as enabled and it worked shows tpm 2.0 active and now shows as compatible with win11
@@SVX348 I have Asus z 170 and I had the same choice as You but after I enabled it and run this "compatibility check" it said I can't use new 11 .... what is strange because when I'm using this tmp.msc check it shows me I have 2.0 ... ;) 😉 I'd read thet there is a problem with windows software as well...
Thank you so much, I have a ibuypower pre built and I have the exact set up for the settings and menus. I have been trying to see how to do this for the past 24 hours great vid 👍👍😁
Thank you for the info. When switching from discreet to firmware I get a note stating that if I lose the key I won't be able to boot in to the operating system. What key?
No downsides, on the contrary, it significantly allows for the security of your system to be improved. OEMs should had this option enabled by default, seems like one of many security oversights the tech industry suffers from. At least now with W11, OEMs will be forced to enable it.

Very useful thanks. I just checked and both my current Dell Inspiron laptop and my previous 2015 one have TPM v2.0. So it looks like I'm ready for Windows 11!
Super Helpful! I just placed an order for a TPM Module from Asus but I realised I no longer need it as my AMD has the firmware version! Now the Windows 11 app says my PC can run it! Thank You so much

Hey Andy, you sure are handy! I just learned about TPM when I tested my system to see if it could run Windows 11.
