I have a Lenovo M720s. Windows says that W11 won't work on my computer. It is an i7, but it says it this pc must support secure boot, and TPM 2.0 must be supported and enabled on this PC. Can anyone give me a little guidance on what I need to do? I tried enabling secure boot, but when I do my PC won't start up. TPM not detected is what it says. A less than 2 year old computer should run W11 is what I say.

I'd personally advise on staying away from Windows 11, until it's been about a year since that's the gestation period for all known issues to be ironed out. At this moment of time, older platforms have had an issue trying to get onto Windows 11...to the point where people wished they didn't bother toggling some options in BIOS. To also add, your support page for the platform does not show Windows 11 although you could force install older OS drivers on but that isn't exactly an ideal situation.

There should be guides at the top of the Windows 11 section as well, which might worth your time reading.
