    Again, enter the BIOS of your device and locate the TPM option and turn it ON. You need to keep in mind that different device has different steps so you can search the web turn on TPM setting for your device.

    In case, you’re seeing this error message because your device didn’t meet the minimum system requirement to install Windows 11, then fret not. You can still install Windows 11 using a quick workaround:

    Note – If you want to install Windows 11 without turning ON Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, then you can also use the following workaround:

    Download ISO images of Windows 10 latest version i.e. Windows 10 May 2021 update. You can download it using the Media Creation tool. Check out our previous post on How to Download ISO Images of Windows 10.
