I have an MSI - GT80 2QE Titan SLI with an Intel I7 5950HQ. Board manufacturer Micro-Star International Co, LTD Bios Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. E1812IMS.11C, 4/21/2016 I think the machine is about 6 years old. I was in the advanced mode of the bios and I can't find anywhere to turn on the TPM. I have also looked for anything that said TPP. I have found the secure boot and turned it on. I believe I have the latest bios update from the manufacturer. I would like to install windows 11 and was hopeful that I could just enable it in the bios. Can anyone help?
Even if you have a TPM 2.0 module (which is unlikely), your fifth generation CPU is not entitled to install W11 In short just use one of the zillions of ways to skip the setup checks. For example just use the latest version of RUFUS to create the install media.
It's too old to pass Win11 requirements. As @acer-5100 has suggested, use another method (like Rufus) to bypass the cpu/tpm restrictions...
Is there something you need in 11 over 10 or are you just curious to try 11 out? If you have10 already, the easiest way to upgrade to 11 is to unzip a Windows 11 ISO and replace appraiserres.dll with a copy from any Windows 10, then run setup. This skips all of the Windows 11 compatibility checks.
You don't even need to replace it, just remove it. (I mean appraiserres.dll). But I don't understand those people who try to install this crap on their computer at any cost. Why, people, you know it doesn't work even on those pc-s where everything is OK and what meet all reguirments.
For some people bigger number = more better. I installed it to check it out and to see if MS is willing to fix the stuff that sucks. The conclusion was that it screws with my workflow and MS does not care.
Thank you to everyone that has commented. I was just going to try windows 11 out of curiosity, but after reading the discussion, I believe I will just stay on windows 10. If, I decide to try in the future, it looks like I have several options. It is just amazing to me how fast technology gets outdated. Thanks again for the help
Just use registry settings to bypass TPM is also a posibility. Put below in autounattend.xml <RunSynchronous> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>1</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassTPMCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>2</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassSecureBootCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>3</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassRAMCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>5</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassCPUCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> <RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add"> <Order>4</Order> <Path>reg add HKLM\System\Setup\LabConfig /v BypassStorageCheck /t reg_dword /d 0x00000001 /f</Path> </RunSynchronousCommand> </RunSynchronous>
