I just installed Windows 10 off my USB drive because I only have a Windows 10 PRO activation code, and I’ve installed the “Driver Bundle” on framework’s website. When I went to upgrade to Windows 11, Windows 10 said it couldn’t detect I’m using TPM 2.0.

How do i fix this?

    I think you can activate a clean install of Windows 11 with a Windows 10 key.

    Where it says TPM Operation Available, does that need to be set?

    Just guessing. I don’t have any Framework yet. Still waiting for my FW16.

      I switched it to “available” “save and exit” still says it can’t be found but when entering bios again it reverts back to “no operation” can’t confirm if that’s normal.

    For upgrade from win10 to win11 “without” the TPM (even though it’s there), create a USB installer using the media creation tool, then open an admin command prompt, change to the stick’s drive and issue setup.exe /product server.

    That inhibits all the checks and (aside from branding it as server during the install process) will allow you to perform a win10 to win11 upgrade on completely unsupported hardware, but in this case the Pluton TPM will be detected by win11 once booted.

    I’ve used this on a couple of my old machines now just for giggles and it works really well.
