Well apparently I can't run Win11 even though I have TPM..
Yes you might have TPM...but as I stated earlier in this thread...it has to be TURNED ON !! This has to be done via the BIOS apparently. And is SUPPOSED to be a "simple" operation.

It's UEFI secure boot that my system is apparently lacking not TPM 2.0, which I have turned on in the BIOS.
I may need to do something else to get Win11 ready thankfully I'm in no rush to upgrade I was just curious whether or not I could.
If anyone has any information on how to get my current system and M.2 NVME SSD to work with UEFI I'd appreciate it nonetheless.

Have a look on your motherboard manufacturers website quite a few have put instructions on how to set up your BIOS

Can't find a solution that doesn't involve removing all drives and re-installing Win10 on the M.2 (which is what I did the first time around on my initial install but hey ho)..
If I'm going to do a fresh install it will be when Win11 is forced upon us post 2025, my install works fine as it is and I ain't f******* with it just to get 100% tick boxes on a Win11 compatibility checker.

Have you read this:

Having Windows on a .M2 NVMIE drive does not affect BIOS settings for UEFI.
