HP Omen 15 TPM not found

[bob_michal]

In tpm.msc it says TPM module cannot be found or must be turned on in bios. I have turned it on in the BIOS which is at the newest upgrade. what is even stranger is that in device manager under security devices it doesn't have a TPM module. any help would be much appreciated

Hi:

There seems to be an issue with Windows 11 not recognizing a firmware based TPM 2.0 (fTPM 2.0) security device.

You are correct.  Along with the AMD PSP device, there should have been a TPM 2.0 device listed there.

I don't know what the difference is between a 'regular' TPM 2.0 device and a fTPM 2.0 device, but it has to be something.

I have an HP x360 15-ee047nr AMD notebook and it has the TPM 2.0 device and the AMD PSP device listed there.

My notebook's service manual just indicates under the security spec that it has a TPM 2.0 device, not fTPM.

If you are wanting to upgrade to W11, there is an easy way to bypass the hardware checks.

I would make a system image of your current W10 installation prior to updating to W11, so you can easily reinstall W10 in the future.  I used the free Macrium Reflect software to do that, under the Backup at Home section. 

Along with the system image, make sure you create the bootable DVD or USB rescue drive you boot from to access the system image stored on your portable hard drive.

No registry changes needed.  No need to create installation media.  Just download the W11 ISO file, and the guy's zip file.

I used the first procedure to do an in-place upgrade an old HP Elitebook 6930p notebook made in 2010 to W11, and I was able to keep my old Office 2010 Starter program that came with the notebook when it had W7 on it, along with all of my other programs, files and settings.

The notebook met none of the enhanced W11 hardware requirements.

That is the 11th unsupported W11 PC I have upgraded to W11, and not one of them have had any issues whatsoever.

They have all gotten all the Windows 11 updates released thus far.

I check those against a PC I have that is fully supported to run W11.

There is also this way you can upgrade to W11, bypassing the hardware checks...
