Recently, a game I play triggered an error prompt demanding "Secure Boot state" be activated in Windows. This option isn't available in my BIOS, even though I confirmed my BIOS was updated or reprogrammed and set it to UEFI. It wasn't running in any old mode or similar. The setting simply isn't present anywhere on my PC or within the BIOS.

Which TPM module fits your setup? Your CPU/board model matters because compatibility varies. It seems your device might be older, so you may need to install a TPM adapter or consider upgrading to a supported model.

First ensure "Windows 8 Feature" is enabled.

That CPU doesn't really support TPM 2.0 (which I'm gueesing you would be looking for) Straight from MSI site, lists which CPU's work, which is a few generations newer than your CPU. https://www.msi.com/blog/How-to-Enable-T...ng-TPM-2-0 I don't think there is a solution here, since the board has to support the function.
