Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool might return a TPM 2.0 error that prevents the Windows 11 upgrade - here’s how to fix it.

How to enable TPM 2.0 in Windows 11 If you haven't already, now's the time to download Microsoft's PC Health Check app to check if your system is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11.

Windows 11 officially requires a Trusted Platform Module. Here's what it does and how you can work around that requirement if your old PC doesn't have one.

Fortunately, it's quite simple to know if your PC has a TPM module or not, says XDA-Developers. Here is a quick guide that's easy to follow if you have at least basic computer know-how.

Clearing the TPM settings can sometimes resolve the issue, but this will reset all TPM configurations to their default state. Open TPM Management: Press Windows Key + R, type tpm.msc, and press Enter.

In theory, Microsoft's just-released PC Health Check utility could help people identify their motherboard make and model, or offer some generic instructions on how to open a PC to install a TPM chip.
