Check the TPM version and Enable it

To run Windows 11, you must have the TPM version 2.0 module installed on the motherboard, and to check your TPM version follow the following steps-

Press the combination Win+ R to open the Run window.
Now type tpm.msc and click OK. The "Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Management on Local Computer" console should open.
In the section of the TPM manufacturer information value version of the specification should be equal to 2.0, as in the screenshot below.
If this section of the panel is not displayed and you receive the "Cannot find a compatible TPM" error, then the TPM chip is not present on the device's motherboard or is disabled in the BIOS. For this, you can enable it from the BIOS setting.

Enable TPM from BIOS setting

Most of the PCs have TPM disabled by default, and for this PC Health Check-Up app shows “The PC can’t run Windows 11”. To solve this issue, just follow the below steps:

Restart your system and enter into the BIOS setting.
On the Advanced tab, look for TPM/fTPM and enable it.

Check and Enable Secure Boot (Safe Boot)

Windows 11 system requirements state that the computer must support Secure Boot. However, on many computers, this feature is disabled in the BIOS settings.
