[SOLVED] Where can I buy a TPM chip for my Dell Aurora R7?

[LeeRex]

I know little about this kind of thing but it seems I have 2 choices. Buy a chip or activate TPM in the BIOS. It's listed there but greyed out and disabled. So I wonder if BIOS replacement chips exist with TPM capability? Without TPM I can't install Win 11.

whats your CPU? 8th gen intel?
anyway intel CPU has it named as Intel® Platform Trust Technology (PTT), enable this in bios to get TPM capability

There is no PTT in my BIOS. Anyway the question is asking where I can BUY a chip. I've put several days, without success, into finding a software answer to the TPM problem. Everyone in other forums have answered with all sorts of fixes but apparently my computer is simply not capable of activating TPM. The one way that seems realistic is to find a chip.

fTPM should be available, dTPM was disontinued few years ago, dell has custom hardware so you will need it from dell

either way in both cases you should contact dell support

btw your bios is up to date? last bios 1.0.25 build date is 07 oct 2021 (which is in time for win11 support)
