TPM is a security feature used for things like: * Windows 11 requirements * BitLocker drive encryption * Secure Boot Sometimes it needs to be disabled for **compatibility, testing, or troubleshooting**. *** ## 📋 Before You Start Make sure you: * Close all applications * Save any open work * Restart your computer If BitLocker is enabled: 1. Open **Control Panel** 2. Go to **BitLocker Drive Encryption** 3. Click **Suspend Protection** *** ## 🔁 Step 1: Enter BIOS / UEFI Restart your computer. While the system is booting, repeatedly press the **BIOS key** until the BIOS menu appears. #### Common BIOS Keys | Brand | Key | | -------- | ---------------- | | ASUS | `Delete` or `F2` | | MSI | `Delete` | | Gigabyte | `Delete` | | ASRock | `F2` or `Delete` | | Dell | `F2` | | HP | `F10` | | Lenovo | `F1` or `F2` | | Acer | `F2` | *** ## ⚙️ Step 2: Switch to Advanced Mode Some motherboards open BIOS in **EZ Mode**. Look for: ``` Advanced Mode ``` Usually accessible by pressing: ``` F7 ``` This unlocks the full BIOS settings. *** ## 🔎 Step 3: Locate TPM Settings Navigate to one of the following tabs: * **Advanced** * **Security** * **Trusted Computing** * **Peripherals** Look for one of these options: ``` TPM Device Security Device Support Trusted Platform Module AMD fTPM Intel PTT ``` *** ## 🖥 Intel Systems If you have an **Intel CPU**, find: ``` Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) ``` Change the value to: ``` Disabled ``` *** ## 🔴 AMD Systems If you have an **AMD CPU**, find: ``` AMD fTPM ``` Set it to: ``` Disabled ``` *** ## 💾 Step 4: Save BIOS Changes After disabling TPM: 1. Press ``` F10 ``` 2. Select: ``` Save & Exit ``` 3. Confirm the changes. Your system will now reboot with **TPM disabled**. *** ## ✅ Verifying TPM is Disabled After booting into Windows: 1.
