Bios TPM enabled but not recognized by windows

[Lee41111]

I have a 4 year old HP ENVY - 17t-cel00 CTO that has tpm in the bios which is enabled, but windows does not detect and will not load a windows 11 upgrade.

Please help

There isn't anything you can do other than to use a workaround to update from W10>W11 or update from an older version of W11 to the latest version.

Watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion.

How to Install Windows 11 on Unsupported PC in 2025 (New Easiest Method, No CMD)

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).

Download Windows 11

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.

7-Zip

You'll have to repeat this procedure each October when Microsoft rolls out the new builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

If things don't work right on W11, you have 10 days to easily go back to W10 or the previous version of W11 as long as you don't delete the W1 upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.
