The worst part about this default configuration is that if your BIOS is ever reset, Windows usually won't boot, even if it is installed already. So what do you do if you get There is no TPM available. Please check BIOS settings on Windows 11? Well, there are a few things you can try.

So the solution simply requires you to enter the BIOS and enable the option. Unfortunately, this process is different for each and every motherboard manufacturer so you will have to search for your specific hardware to get the exact process.

You can also get this error message on existing builds with Windows 11 installed if your BIOS is reset. So make sure you go back in and double-check your settings. Annoyingly not all manufacturers have updated their BIOS to have TPM 2.0 enabled by default. Gigabyte we’re looking at you!!!
