I just ran TPM-msc and received the above message in its reply screen.
Compatible TPM cannot be found on this computer. Now what?
The message also says: Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later and it is turned on in the BIOS.
This response raises a number of questions for me.
- How can I determine if I have TPM on my motherboard, or the BIOS, or wherever it is supposed to be?
- Is it possible to get TPM 2.0 or activate (turn on) TPM 1.2 through the BIOS? If so, how would I do that? K-I-S-S please – thanks.
- If I can’t “turn it on”, is there an available software fix for the firmware on the motherboard that would do the trick?
I know that Windows 10 is supposed to be active through 2025, so I could still use it until then and then buy a new PC with a TPM compatible motherboard. I am guessing the Microsoft will need to do something as there are probably millions (?) of folks out there with incompatible motherboards and I am assuming that they will scream loud and clear about their situation as they do not wish to buy a new PC + the inability to be able to move the Task Bar is just stupid/poor interface design IMHO and needs to be fixed so that it can be placed anywhere on the screen as it can in Windows 10.
