Question How to enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on Z77A-G41?

[Nathan Brewer]

Hello! I wanted to play Valorant and it keeps telling me to enable secure boot and TPM 2.0, and I checked my BIOS but cant find anything for TMP 2.0. I'm up to date on the most recent BIOS for this old mobo, and i read on MSI's website that this mobo does have a TPM header (not that I entirely know what that is, admittedly..). Is there a way to turn TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on?

Were you foolish enough to install Win 11 on this old hardware? I think the TPM requirement is for Win 11 systems.

AFAIK z77 predates TPM 2.0, I believe it only supported 1.2. If Valorant requires 2.0 you will not be able to use that hardware to play.

Just caught this. OP will have to go back to 10 it seems.

I use Tiny 11, so kinda? It's Windows 11 but it runs significantly smoother and better than W11. But I still had the issue of valorant saying i needed to have tpm 2.0 on a fresh intall of windows 10.

I had the same issue on Windows 10 as I have on Windows/Tiny 11

Ah thanks, must be something with a new update to the game cause I've been able to play the game on the same system before with no issues

It carries most of the same issues as regular 11, just smaller.
In particular, the TPM still exists.
