How do I enable TPM 2.0 on my PC?
In most cases, TPM 2.0 will need to be enabled in your PC’s UEFI/BIOS settings. The exact steps will vary depending on your system’s motherboard and firmware interface.
If you’re unfamiliar with your PC’s UEFI/BIOS or unsure how to make changes, we strongly recommend contacting a professional and/or your PC or motherboard manufacturer for step-by-step guidance.

Below are steps you may encounter in this process, but this does not serve as instructions. Always consult the official documentation from your PC or Motherboard manufacturer.
Important: Changing UEFI/BIOS settings improperly can cause system issues. Always follow official instructions from your motherboard manufacturer carefully.
General Process for Enabling TPM 2.0
Access your BIOS/UEFI settings (Advanced Restart → UEFI firmware settings).
Accessing your BIOS can be accomplished in many ways; however, one of the easiest is to restart your machine from Windows.
In Windows 11, go to Start → Settings → System → Recovery. Next to Advanced startup, select Restart Now.
In Windows 10, go to Start → Settings → Update & Security → Recovery. Under Advanced startup, select Restart Now.
Once your Windows 10/11 machine has restarted, go to Troubleshoot: see Advanced Options → UEFI Firmware Settings.

Navigate to either Advanced, Security, or Trusted Computing (depending on motherboard manufacturer, consult official documentation). See Figure 3 below for example reference.
Intel systems: Enable Intel PTT or Security Device Support.
AMD systems: Enable AMD CPU fTPM.
Exit and Save changes (generally F10) and reboot.
Confirm in Windows with Windows Key + R → tpm.msc to check TPM 2.0 is active.
