How to Enable TPM 2.0 in BIOS to Install Windows 11 in hp work stationZ220

@Zayed276,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

Thank you for your question about enabling TPM 2.0 on the HP Z220 Workstation. Here's what you need to know:

 

TPM Support on HP Z220:

 

  • The Z220 does not support TPM 2.0 natively.

  • It typically includes a TPM 1.2 module, and even that may be disabled by default in BIOS.

  • To check:

    1. Reboot and press F10 to enter BIOS.

    2. Navigate to Security > TPM Embedded Security.

    3. If listed, enable the TPM and save changes.

 

If no TPM option is visible, the system likely lacks the physical TPM chip to begin with or has TPM disabled at the hardware level.

 

Important: Z220 Processors Are Not Windows 11-Compatible/Compliant:

 

Even if TPM 2.0 were somehow added, no Z220 processors meet Microsoft's official CPU requirements for Windows 11.

 

Windows 11 requires at a minimum:

 

  • Intel 8th-gen or newer (e.g., Core i5-8xxx, Xeon W-21xx)

  • TPM 2.0

 

The Z220's 3rd-gen Intel CPUs fall well outside this scope. That means even with TPM 2.0, Windows 11 installation would require bypassing official checks, which may limit feature availability or updates.

 

Workaround Options:

 

If you're intent on installing Windows 11, there are a number of reliable and effective methods developed which would allow you to almost effortlessly upgrade your PC to Windows 11 in non-supported hardware, such as this easy-to-follow YouTube instructional video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrmhhigEhY&t=332s&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.

 

Just follow the step-by-step instructions, and you're good to go!

 

In the off-chance that you don't like W11, you'll have 10 days to roll back to Windows 10. After 10 days, unless you follow the steps outlined in this instructional video, you may need to do a fresh install of Windows 10. Either way, this video will show you what to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v9_-4JCh_U&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.


Kind Regards,
