Look for an option named something like \u201cTPM,\u201d \u201cIntel PTT,\u201d \u201cAMD PSP fTPM,\u201d or \u201cSecurity Device.\u201d You may find it in the main UEFI settings menu or in a menu named something like \u201cAdvanced,\u201d \u201cTrusted Computing,\u201d or \u201cSecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, run on online search for the model name of your computer and \u201cenable TPM,\u201d or examine its official documentation. (If you built your own PC, search for your motherboard model name instead.)<\/p>\n<p>You may also need to install a UEFI update for your computer or its motherboard. Manufacturers have been rolling out updates that either enable TPM 2.0 by default\u2014or add support for it. It may even be possible to upgrade from TPM 1.2 to TPM 2.0 with a firmware update on some PCs; it depends on your hardware and system manufacturer. Check with your computer (or motherboard) manufacturer for more information about updates for Windows 11.<\/p>\n<p>After enabling TPM, re-run the PC Health Check tool.
