Question Confused as to whether my PC can enable TPM?

[Minaz]

I have an Origin PC 3 years old and TPM is not enabled. Using EUFI settings, I do not see an option to enable TPM2.0. Also, Origin PC does have some custom settings which seem hard to undo (needs a "key" of some sort, but I wasn't going to mess with it nor do I know how anyway).

So first things first, how can I tell if it can even support TPM? Here is the info from the System Summary page (see below).

Also, if it can, can someone walk me through how to enable it? It doesn't seem like most of the sites that show this has a similar BIOS setup and menu layout.

Thank you!

I have seen people using that board in THIS thread for example, so it looks like it does support it and they discuss the bios location unless your builder used a custom bios. Also, your CPU is on the Windows 11 Intel CPU list.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried over and over - its the same bios hardware and cpu as you noted, but the TPM option is simply missing. Could Origin have simply removed TPM from the bios (or the motherboard even)? It was a very high end PC and it really burns me thinking they would do this unless they had a good reason. Origin itself has gone radio silent on their customer service, its like the department has vanished btw. This experience has me sour.
