I got my PC in 2020 and I love it. It has windows 10 and they are saying I need TPM in order to upgrade.

My system doesn't have TPM. What's my play?

I'm still rocking mine too. Let me take a look. Windows has made changes recently that take a way from the old school computer nerds. Let me see if there is a solution

I just discovered I got it in 2018. I love it, would hate to have to get a new one. Pain in the ass too.

It'll have to be this weekend for the research - I did buy a Lenovo 2 years ago and run it side by side with my Windows 10 Toshiba - The toshiba is my day to day - the lenovo though is fast and powerful but just like you, i have so much shit on it. So new stuff I use the new computer as I continue to back stuff up on an external.

Yeah, I'd have to do what you are doing.

I spent about an hour this morning looking for answers but most of the suggestions may as well had been written in Chinese. My head almost exploded and I quit looking for now.

Take your time, we have 3 months.

Looks awesome but I'm a desktop kinda guy. I need the full size keyboard and 3 monitors.

I wouldn't mind getting new but it's a huge hassle and I learned a long time ago if it ain't broke don't fix it.

The only reason I want windows 11 is because they are quitting support in October and there are ways to get windows 11 without the TPM but I don't want to sacrifice speed and security. When I go to Windows 11 I want to do it the right way. And maybe there is still a right way to do it with my system. I don't know.

Sheesh, most of us are fine with just one monitor.

There are YouTube videos and it helped me. I’m ready for windows 11. Thanks OS, I don’t usually think of YouTube for these things.

If you have an intel system you have to enable PTT, it’s the same as TPM.

 

[MadJack]

Why don’t they tell us this shit? Most people will go out and buy a new computer. I guess that’s why. Duh!

If I wanted support, I'd get married...

To enable Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT), you'll generally need to access your computer's BIOS settings and navigate to the security or trusted computing section. The specific steps may vary slightly depending on your motherboard manufacturer and BIOS version, but the general process involves locating the PTT setting (often listed as "Intel Platform Trust Technology" or similar) and enabling it.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. 1. Access BIOS:
   Restart your computer and repeatedly press the key to enter BIOS setup (usually F2, Del, or F12).
   
   
2. 2. Navigate to Security/Trusted Computing:
   Once in BIOS, locate the "Security," "Trusted Computing," or similar section.
   
   
3. • 3. Enable PTT:
     Find the "Intel Platform Trust Technology," "PTT," or related setting. Change it to "Enabled" or "On".
     
   • 4. Save and Exit:
     Save your changes (usually by pressing F10) and exit the BIOS. The computer will restart.

Now I'll wait until the deadline to d/l it and start learning a whole new OS.
