Your notebook does not support a TPM firmware upgrade from 1.2 to 2.0.

You need a 450 G3 or newer to support such an upgrade.

Were you wanting to do this in order to upgrade to W11?

If so, even if your notebook did have a TPM 2.0 security device, the processor does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 processor requirements of an Intel 8th generation core or newer processor.

If you are happy with your PC, and if you are interested in doing an in-place upgrade from W10 to W11 24H2 on your PC as is, watch this video, which is the easiest way to do it in my opinion, and I have used several different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

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.

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

They have been releasing new W11 builds each October so far.

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 as long as you don't delete the W1 upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.

You're very welcome.

First run the Windows system information app.

You can do that by clicking on the search icon on your Windows taskbar.

Type: System Information

The System information app should show up.

Run the app and the product number of your PC will be found on the BIOS mode line about 1/3 of the way down on the report.

Let me know if it reports Legacy or UEFI.

legacy 
and secure boot : unsupported

OK:

Here are your options:

Back up any files you need to save onto a portable hard drive.

You can reinstall W10 in UEFI mode by booting from the UEFI USB flash drive boot option and not the legacy one.

Download Windows 10

Your other option would be to convert the existing MBR-formatted drive to GPT and after you restart your PC, you go into the BIOS, disable Legacy mode and enable secure boot.

Watch this video for how to do that:
