want to upgrade to wndows 11

[1craftman]

Microsoft says I cannot upgrade due to TMP being off. How do I turn it on and would it be 2.0 on this computer?

Hi:

Your PC probably does not have a TPM security chip and if it did, it would only have been version 1.2.

If you see no enable/disable TPM setting in the BIOS, then your PC did not come with a TPM.

Most if not all HP consumer class desktops made during the period yours was made or earlier did not come with those security chips.

This does not necessarily mean you can't install W11 on your PC, but you would have to perform a clean install and reinstall all of your programs and files.

If you want to see if W11 works on your PC, you can make a bootable W11 USB installer from the link below.

See this article.  3rd headline from the bottom.

If for some reason, W11 does not work correctly on your PC, you can reinstall W10.

I currently have W11 clean installed on two PC's that I have, that do not meet the requirements for the W11 upgrade and they both work fine on W11 so far.

I use the free Macrium Reflect software to make system images,

You may want to do the same. 

Make a system image using Macrium reflect, and if W11 doesn't work right, you can easily go back to your current W10 installation.

You save the image on a portable hard drive and the software will have you make a bootable USB flash drive or DVD you boot from to access the system image stored on the portable hard drive.
