    AbelOdalis If hardware constraints are too limiting, consider using a virtual machine with software like VMwrae or VirtaIBox that can simulate TPM, allowing you to test out Windows 11 Insider builds without changing your physical hardware.

    If your hardware does support TPM but it's not functioning correctly, check the manufacturer's website for any BIOS updates. Sometimes updating the BIOS can enable undiscovered settings for TPM.

    Buy and insert a TPM 2.0 chip into the motherboard. After that, update BIOS and you are able to install Windows 11.

      It is not an easy job to add new component to an existing board.

    A TPM 2.0 chip is required to run Windows 11. You need to upgrade the motherboard to fix the issue.

    1.Check if TPM is Enabled in BIOS:

    Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing Delete, F2, or Esc during startup).
    Look for settings related to "TPM" or "Security". Ensure that TPM is enabled. Sometimes TPM may be present but disabled by default.

    2.Update BIOS/UEFI:

    Visit your motherboard or computer manufacturer’s website for any available BIOS updates. Updating your BIOS might add support for TPM.

    3.Installing a TPM Module:

    If your motherboard has a header for a TPM module but does not have one installed, you might be able to purchase and install a compatible TPM 2.0 module.
