@Bhsea,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

How to Upgrade TPM 1.2 to 2.0 on the HP Z240:

1. Verify TPM Version and Manufacturer:

• Press Win + R, type tpm.msc, and press Enter.

• Ensure your TPM is from Infineon (IFX) and currently at version 1.2.​

2. Download the Required Tools:

• TPM Configuration Utility (SP87753):
  Download from HP's FTP:
  👉SP87753.exe
  Documentation:
  👉 https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Workstations-and-Point-of-Sale-Systems/Can-t-install-tpm-...

• Firmware BIN File:
  If not included in the above package, you may need to obtain the appropriate firmware BIN file separately.​

3. Prepare for the Upgrade:

• Disable BitLocker:
  If BitLocker is enabled, decrypt your drive to prevent data loss: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/attachments/psg/Business-PC-Workstation-POS/46456/1/ArtefactPC%20on%2...

• Update BIOS:
  Ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest version available for the Z240.​

4. Execute the Upgrade:

• Run the downloaded SoftPaq to extract files (default location: C:\SWSetup\SP87753).

• Place the firmware BIN file in the same directory as the TPM Configuration Utility executable.

• Run TPMConfig64.exe as an administrator.

• Follow on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade.​ HP Support Community+3HP Support Community+3HP Support Community+3HP Support Community+1HP Support Community+1

Important Considerations for Windows 11:

Even after upgrading to TPM 2.0, the HP Z240's 6th and 7th generation Intel CPUs (like the i7-6700 or upgraded processors such as the i7-7700K or the Xeon E3-1280 v6) will be blocked regardless of TPM 2.0.

However, there are reliable methods to bypass these restrictions. Here's a comprehensive guide:

Rolling Back to Windows 10:

If you decide Windows 11 isn't for you, you have a 10-day window to revert to Windows 10 without data loss. After this period, a clean installation may be necessary. For guidance:
