I can't find/enable TPM1.2 on my Z420 Workstation

Hi, I can't find/enable TPM1.2 on my Z420 Workstation.

I run TPM.msc on my windows 10 and I get this:

I can't find an option in the BIOS to enable it. The BIOS version that I have is the latest: which is 3.96 REV.A
Appreciate your help. Also, in the BIOS settings, I was not able to anything related to Embedded Security Device in the Security Menu that I can either enable or disable.

I tried to run the HP TPM configuration utility, it gave me the following error:

Thank you in advance

Just to clarify, in the BIOS settings, there is no Embedded Security Device in the Security Menu that I can either enable or disable.

depending on the region/area the system was sold in you may not have TPM enabled usually there will be a sticker stating no TPM attached somewhere on the inside of the case

countries like china/Russia prohibit TPM so HP disables this feature even though the board may have the TPM chip installed

Thank you for your reply.
I live in Australia and I bought the Workstation locally as a second hand. There might be a chance that this machine came from overseas (China,...)

Is there a way that I can enable the Chip? 

Thank you for your appreciated help in advance.

no, if HP disabled the TPM you will need to replace the board with one that has it enabled

personally the TPM issue is not a real problem i would simply ignore it windows 10 will happily run fine without it
