    TPM Not Detected, In Prep for Upgrade to Windows 11


    My System:
    AMD Ryzen 7 Processor
    16 GHz Ram
    Windows 10 Pro 22H2 64 bit OS


    Issue:
    Trying to upgrade PC from Windows 10 64 bit Pro, to Windows 11. “PC Health Check App” indicates that I cannot upgrade because “TPM not detected”.

    Troubleshooting:
    • Ran “tpm.msc”. Received message stating that “Compatible TPM cannot be found”.

    • Ran “Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Restart Now. ”At restart screen ran “Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware > Settings > Restart. That opened Bios.

    • TUF Gaming Bios
    > UEIF BIOS Utility Main Page
    > Advanced
    > AMD fTPM Configuration (Set To Discrete TPM) [Option Change to Firmware TPM]
    > TPM Device Selection & Erase fTPM NY from Factory Reset (Set To Enabled) [Option Change To Disabled]
    > When attempting to change from Discrete TPM to Firmware TPM, received the following Notice: AMD fTPM is a hardware TPM 2.0 implementation integrated in AMD AGESA code for credential storage and key management. The firmware TPM key will be stored in AMD AGESA code data region once you enable AMD fTPM and Windows Bitlocker for drive encryption. Please note that when the recovery key is lost or when the BIOS ROM chip is replaced, the system will not boot unto the operations system and the data will stay encrypted and cannot be restored.

    Questions:
    1. Do I change to Firmware TPM so that I can install Windows 11?
    2. Do I change to Disabled or leave that option the same to accomplish this?

    Thanks!

    How to Enable TPM 2.0 for Windows 11

    Yes- will need to be enabled to install Win 11.

    And of course there are workarounds if you don't:

    Thanks. I figured this, but. How do I ensure that I do not get locked out of my OS by switching to Firmware TPM? As I stated above, the warning listed above does not give me much comfort...............

    Depends whether you use Bitlocker or not..

    1) How do I determine if I use bitblocker?

    2) Do I need to use bitblocker to upgrade and install Windows 11?

    Ok, I checked and BitBlocker is off for all my drives...............

    Using Bitlocker encryption is always optional. Except that- reading this- apparently it's enabled by default when Win 11 Pro is installed...
    Windows 11 Pro users beware: Microsoft's BitLocker encryption could be seriously slowing down your PC | TechRadar

    - but of course, as I said, it's optional and can be disabled.

    Thanks to all who participated. I have successfully moved to Windows 11. Even kept my settings and is going well. For a more detailed explanation of the questions and move to the newer OS can be found here:
