Problems with switching secure boot settings
Problems with switching secure boot settings
Hello, thank you for reaching out. I've faced a similar situation after switching to Windows 11. The error about needing TPM and secure boot was frustrating. In my BIOS I couldn't locate either CSM or Secure Boot settings. My motherboard is an MSI H61M-P20 (G3) with the latest BIOS v1.9, and the system reports issues like PCR7 binding not being possible and TPM not being usable. Since Windows 10 worked fine, I'm unsure what to do now. Any suggestions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.
Without a 'Security Devices' area in your BIOS to activate TPM, it seems your motherboard already has a TPM header. On 600 series boards (like 610), the CPU typically supplies TPM capabilities via the chipset. You can find MSI recommendations for compatible chipsets here: https://www.msi.com/blog/How-to-Enable-T...ng-TPM-2-0
Looks like that's a 2nd/3rd gen board, so basically you're SOL, too old. Intel CPUs didn't have built-in TPM functionalty back then.
