  • When enabling TPM did it also enable secure boot or UEFI boot modes?

  • @Mokubai I’m not sure how to check that. I can tell you that to enable it, i went to settings->security->trusted computing->security device support. I had to enable “security device support”, it was disabled. I followed [this tutorial][1] [1]: youtu.be/nNeSS2UeRHo

  • Please read your own user's manual and find out whether or not you have enabled Secure Boot as asked above. This is independent of TPM settings. Please do NOT direct users here to YT videos and, again, that video has nothing to do with what was asked. The best way forward is to install Windows 11 from scratch after confirming all its requirements are met. Trying to upgrade from Windows 10 may not work properly and it won't be "clean". Yes, installing OS, softwares and user tweaks and recovering backups takes time but much less than what you already wasted.

  • @ChanganAuto I have not enabled Secure Boot. The reason why I linked the tutorial (and I also wrote all the steps I did to enable the tpm 2.0) is to show that it’s the only thing I did, and because I thought that maybe by changing those settings I did something to the thing you were talking about. Before doing the steps, I had no problems with using windows 10. After enabling tpm 2.0 with the steps I wrote before, I started having crashes. That’s all I know. Reading the whole manual of my motherboard isn’t an option, since I’m pretty ignorant on PCs, that’s why I was asking here

    Windows 10 works in either Legacy ("BIOS") mode or UEFI mode (preferred) so, consequently, it must work also with Secure Boot disabled. Windows 11 supports UEFI mode ONLY and strictly requires TPM and Secure Boot enabled. So, again, you MUST fulfill ALL its requirements. Now, the important part of the user's manual is the one about UEFI ("BIOS") settings. Ignoring this isn't an option. If you don't feel competent to manage your firmware option and install Windows 11 then please ask someone who is (or keep Windows 10), it's as simple as that.
