The answer: nowhere.
The HP 8200 Elite CMT (Convertible Minitower) does not have a TPM 2.0 upgrade option.
The TPM 1.2 chip on this specific model is a physical hardware component that cannot be updated via firmware to version 2.0. The oldest desktop in the HP Elite 8xx series that supports a TPM 2.0 firmware upgrade would be the EliteDesk 800 G2.
But even if the TPM could be upgraded, your 8200 Elite CMT would still fail the official Windows 11 requirements because:
- Unsupported Processor: It uses Intel 2nd Generation Core processors, whilst Windows 11 officially requires 8th Gen or newer.
- No Secure Boot Support: your PC uses a legacy-style BIOS/early UEFI that does not fully support the Secure Boot requirement as defined by Microsoft for Windows 11.
But no worries, you don't need TPM 2.0 anyway to upgrade your PC to Windows 11!
You see, there are a number of reliable and effective bypass methods developed which would allow you to almost effortlessly upgrade your so-called "unsupported device" to Windows 11, such as this easy-to-follow YouTube instructional video shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSrmhhigEhY&t=332s&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.
This method uses a clever Microsoft (Server) backdoor Windows 11 install method.
This works great: I have used it myself on a number of legacy HP desktops without any issues whatsoever.
I cannot emphasize enough that this particular W11 upgrade method is hard to beat in terms of simplicity!
The Tips2Fix approach basically modifies the Windows 11 install media by replacing just one file (appraiserres.dll) with the Windows 10 version, which instantly disables all TPM, CPU, and Secure Boot checks without extra prompts or tool-specific steps.
Unless Microsoft changes the installer logic in future builds, this file-swap method will likely remain the quickest workaround for unsupported hardware such as your HP 8200 Elite CMT.
Anyway, in the off chance you don't like W11, you 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 with easy-to-follow instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v9_-4JCh_U&ab_channel=Tips2Fix.
