TPM 2.0 Upgrade

[Rkstr]

This model includes TPM 1.2, any way to upgrade it to TPM 2.0?  This is a great business class PC and runs really fast with an SSD.  Hoping to extend the life to Win11 with a TPM upgrade.  Thanks

Hi:

The 8200 Elite's TPM 1.2 chip cannot be upgraded to 2.0.

Only the PC's on the list at the link below can have the TPM 1.2 firmware upgraded to v 2.0...

I have W11 Pro 64 bit running on my HP 8200 Elite CMT, but it was very difficult to do it.

You can google the problem and there are a few ways to try such as these...

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.
