HP ZBook I7 G3 17 inch
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hallo, Ik wil mijn ZBook I7 G3 17 inch graag updaten naar W11 maar loop o.a. tegen een te lage TPM-versie aan nl. 1.2 TPM i.p.v. 2.0. Is er mogelijkheid dit te upgraden  (softwarematig)?

Hi:

 

See if the info at the link below is of help to you...your notebook is on the list of notebooks supported for a TPM 1.2 to 2.0 firmware upgrade.

 

HP Desktops, Notebooks, and Workstations - HP TPM Configuration Utility With Windows 10 Anniversary ...

 

I do not believe that any of the processors in that model series are supported for W11. 

 

See the list of supported Intel processors for W11...

 

Windows processor requirements Windows 11 supported Intel processors | Microsoft Docs

 

If you want to install W11, you would have to see if this works... you can do it this way without upgrading the TPM to 2.0 as well...

 

I would make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.

 

Macrium Software | Reflect Free Edition

 

First make this registry change...

Then download the Windows 11 ISO file (3rd option), not the W11 installation assistant.

 

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

 

Use Rufus and make a bootable USB installer with the ISO file you downloaded.

 

There is a new option to create an installer that is supposed to bypass the W11 hardware checks. 

 

Here is the link to the Rufus download.  You want the version 3.17 portable.

 

Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

 

See this image link for how to set up the Rufus tool to bypass the W11 hardware checks...

 

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/296479i080A4C679280E055/image-size/large/is-...

 

Boot from the Rufus installer, and you will be able to install W11.

 

Since your PC has a TPM device, you may be able to do an in-place upgrade to W11 by opening the Rufus installer you made, and click on the Setup application, and see if W11 will allow you to do the direct upgrade without the need to clean install W11.

 

My unsupported W11 PC's got all of the W11 updates. 

 

I have upgraded 8 of them to W11, and they seem to run a little better on W11 than they did on W10.

 

However, I don't know how long they will continue to get all of the updates, or what will happen when the new build of W11 comes out next year in October.

When upgrading TPM 1.2 to TPM 2 you should keep in mind that it is a software solution that creates a "Software-Dongle" in your ESP-Partition. You find it in the EFI Dir and see the TPMConfig.log in the SWSETUP-Folder.


So be careful with that file when troubleshooting Boot-Problems. If you reinstall Windows you have to recreate this TPM.bin again.

 

The Inplace-Upgrade works fine and within 30 min. you have a new Installation and you don't have to worry about drivers and configuration settings.
If you have a HP-Tools partition and a HP Recovery partition delete them! Then you have the space for a File-Partition and for ISO. Mount this ISO and copy the files to a folder. Do not run the setup from a mounted ISO!
Disconnect your Internet access.
"Clean" you laptop before you run the setup and run the following commands in cmd (ADMIN)

powercfg /h off

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
sfc /scannow

As Paul already indicated, this REG-Key entry should be made:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup]
"AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001
Good luck
