do i need the actual tpm device or is the firmware version enough?

when i check it says secure boot isnt enabled however whenn i look in the bios it clearly says secure boot enabled /loaded

what can i do? im on windows 10 at moment but would like the function active or the pc health check atleast register that i can update to windows 11

it wont let me post a pic withouit makinng some sort of link im not use to doing but the results are

boot method -red X (legacy)
Disk Partition X (not gpt)
Secure boox X (disabled not deteced)

nnow i know for a fact tpm.msc says tpm is ready to use, also in the bios it shows secure boot as enabled. i tried fidling around with compatability module in bios and it didnt wannt to boot using just uefi and such.

If BIOS is not set to UEFI only then enabling Secure boot will not work. Depending on motherboard, some will not allow you to enable it at all, while others will let you do it but just ignore it.
If your boot drive is not GPT then setting BIOS to UEFI will not let you boot Windows. In such case you have to either do a clean Windows install on GPT partitioned drive; or convert current Windows drive to GPT using mbr2gpt.
