Windows 10: I have TPM enabled, as well as secure boot, but Windows wont update to 11

I have tried since i had the ability to update, to update to Windows 11. I have the health check app, everything was up to code, BIOS has TPM AS WELL AS secure boot enabled, yet the health check says its not enabled. Here's the worst part, I get a new SSD, and put a fresh copy of Windows 10 onto it. The only thing I changed in BIOS was set my SSD to boot. Then when i boot to Windows 10, I start looking to set stuff up and out of nowhere Windows update tells me i'm finally allowed to update to 11. Here is my issue, I now have a dual boot PC with Windows 10 and 11. I can't get my HDD that has Wi

PC Windows 11 Upgrade - Secure Boot and TPM 2.0

Thank you for the reply and info @dashdotdot

I have a few follow up questions if that's ok!

I have gone into BIOS settings before to enable TPM 2.0 and enable secure boot but as you said the PC did not boot up and I had to short one of the components of the PC to reset to default settings before,

What would the step by step process be to update to windows 11?

I was told before to enable TPM in BIOS then use a USB with Windows 11 on it to install it. Is there a simpler way?

 

Windows 11 Secure Boot and TPM 2.0

Hi Ryan. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.

Is UEFI enabled and CSM turned off? If not reinstall to UEFI, or convert legacy Windows install to UEFI here:

What is the motherboard make and model? The troubleshooting for TPM2 and Secure boot is specific to the motherboard.

You can contact the Motherboard maker's Support to have them help you get it enabled using the one-year Support, Repair and Replacement Warranty which comes with it. They must get it working, fix or replace it under law. It is absolutely required to run Windows 11.

Fixes here to tru for No signal on monitor or computer won't post with Secure Boot and TPM2 enabled:

BSOD when enabling TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

Hi everyone,

I know that this has been a recurrent issue for some people, but I still am not sure about the answer to this problem. I will include some dump files below as well.

System Background Info:

• Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC-Y1 Motherboard
  
• BIOS Version/Date = American Megatrends International, LLC. F4, 6/18/2021
  
• Intel Processor (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700F @ 2.50GHz, 2496 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s))
  

Since Riot has started forcing users to implement Vanguard in playing LoL, I have experienced difficulties with my PC. I could not initialize Vanguard on my PC at first because I did not have secure boot or TPM 2.0 enabled, so as one does, I looked up tutorials on enabling these features in BIOS. Some info/steps on what I had to do:

1. I did not mess with the formatting of my motherboard's drives. My drive was already formatted to GPT, so no worries with that.
   
2. I already have my motherboard on UEFI instead of older formatting.
   
3. I went in and enabled Secure Boot, making sure the boot was "Active" (since it was at first showing as "Inactive").
   
4. I enabled TPM.
   
5. Rebooted, experienced never-ending blue screen loop until I reverted these changes. I also had to do run the "chckdsk" command to actually clean up the issues caused by enabling TPM and Secure Boot. Computer runs fine now, but still no progress with TPM and Secure Boot.
   

My question is, does anyone have a fix for this issue? I would like to have secure boot enabled as well as TPM 2.0 so I can play games with my friends, but I also obviously don't want recurrent blue-screening. I do realize that my BIOS is out-of-date, and I am anticipating that this may be where the issue is coming from. I was also recommended by users on Reddit to do a fresh reinstall of Windows 11, but I feel like this may be too complicated for me to do on my own.

Here are those dump files: https://www.mediafire.com/file/65mv4r9o36vi08g/Minidump.zip/file (let me know if these are accessible or not). Some common BSOD errors I am receiving are the Event 56 ACPI 2 error, the Event 1 WHEA-Logger error, and the Event 29 Kernel-Boot error (0xC00000D4).
