    If TPM is available, you'll see a section labeled Security processor with information about the TPM status, including whether it’s found, activated, and the version.

  • -Check Windows Security>Device Security>Security processor details.

    -Check TPM configuration under BIOS.

    If you're really techy, you can also check the BIOS/UEFI settings on startup (usually by pressing a key like F2, DEL, or ESC during boot). Look under the security settings for TPM configuration.

    Settings > Windows Security > Device security > Data encryption > Manage Bitlocker drive encryption.

    Or, Control Panel > BitLocker Drive Encryption.
