TPM & Secure Boot

Some applications require TPM and Secure Boot to be enabled. Here's how to check their status and turn them on.

Verify TPM status

• Press Windows + R
• Type tpm.msc
• Press Enter, then confirm TPM is enabled and functioning correctly

Verify Secure Boot status

• Press Windows + R
• Type msinfo32
• Press Enter, then check Secure Boot State and BIOS Mode

Before you begin

• These settings live in your BIOS/UEFI firmware
• Menu names vary by motherboard manufacturer
• AMD systems usually call it AMD fTPM or Firmware TPM
• Intel systems usually call it Intel PTT or Platform Trust Technology
• Secure Boot may require Legacy/CSM mode to be disabled first

Enter BIOS

Restart your PC and press the appropriate key during startup — commonly DEL, F2, F10, ESC, or F12.

Disable Legacy Boot / CSM

Navigate to Boot → CSM / Legacy Support and set it to Disabled.

Enable TPM

Navigate to Security → Trusted Computing. On AMD systems enable AMD fTPM; on Intel systems enable Intel PTT.

Enable Secure Boot

Navigate to Boot / Security → Secure Boot and set it to Enabled. If prompted, load the default Secure Boot keys.

Save changes

Press F10, save changes, and reboot.
