I had to do a fresh install cause win10 doesn’t support the tpm chip :(

 

Anyone have any idea how to turn this on for Windows 10? I have a new AMD 7040 series and installed Win10 like an idiot and now cant upgrade to Win11 as TPM2.0 is off and I cant seem to turn it on. I also don't want to do a fresh install as I already paid for a Win10 key and don't want a buy a new Win11 license, unless there's a way to do a totally fresh install and keep the Win10 key. Thanks

When doing a fresh install of Win11, will I lose my license and will I need to buy a new one? I cant seem to "Upgrade" from the USB and it looks like it will require me to do a custom install after deleting the old partitions

 

I installed Win10 like a dummy and now can’t upgrade. It has to do with TPM2.0. I can’t seem to get the BIOS settings to stick. Whenever I go to turn on TPM in the settings, I always get the error that it is not enabled and when I check BIOS again, it’s disabled. Anyone have any insight? Thanks

Oh really? Crap, I’ll have to upgrade then. I installed win10, and don’t see an automatic way to upgrade so I’ll have to dig around a little

 

I tried to flash a Linux ISO onto that drive with balenaEtcher which I have done with countless USB drives, and for some reason I get an error when trying to boot into the drive. Do I need to use the USB Live boot version? Thanks
