I believe the main issue here lies in the TPM (Trusted Platform Module).

"Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) - TPM 2.0 is a microcontroller that stores keys, passwords, and digital certificates. A discrete TPM 2.0 also supports Intel® vPro™ Technology and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)."

6th gen Intel chips (like yours and mine) do not have the TPM 2.0 hardware inside the cpu. TPM 2.0 hardware started with the 7th generation chips.

So while this may seem like a software issue, it is in fact a hardware problem with the security microcontroller in both our processors.
