How to enable TPM 2.0 on your CyberPowerPC System to prepare for Windows 11.

Not every existing PC running Windows 10 will be able to upgrade to Windows 11, though. Windows 11 will require Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake or Zen 2 CPUs and up, TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) support, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. There are some extra workarounds you'll need to do if you want Windows 11.

If you follow the instructions above and you see the follow popup. image_2021_10_05T21_03_46_328Z.png

To prepare your system to make it ready for an upgrade, you'll need to enter your systems BIOS to make the necessary changes. See below for instructions for how to enter the BIOS on your computer and make the changes relative to your specific motherboard brand and CPU type.

Follow these steps:

  1. Power on your computer.

  2. Press <Del> after the CyberPowerPC Logo or Motherboard Manufacturer's Logo appears.

    Note: The screen may flash up quickly so you may need to try the above keystroke multiples times as there is a short window of opportunity for the system to recognize the key-press. (Del)

  3. Once the BIOS Setup screen appears match it to one of the following manufactures below for instructions specific to your BIOS

    Note that for the Gigabyte / Aurus AMD instructions, the AMD CPU fTMP option is found under  Settings / Miscellaneous, not directly under Settings as implied.

    It seems like you're interested in enabling TPM 2.0 on a CyberPowerPC system, possibly for enhancing security features like BitLocker or Windows 11 requirements. Generally, enabling TPM involves accessing the BIOS/UEFI settings. Here are some quick steps to guide you through the process:

    1. Reboot your system and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup. Typically, you do this by pressing a specific key (like Del, F2, or F10) as your computer boots up. The exact key can depend on your motherboard, so check your CyberPowerPC documentation if you're not sure.

    2. Locate the TPM settings. Look through the BIOS/UEFI menu for a section labeled something like "Security," "Trusted Computing," or "Advanced." Here, you should find the option to enable TPM.

    3. Enable TPM. Once you've found the TPM setting, toggle it to enable. There may also be an option to choose between different versions of TPM—make sure it's set to 2.0.

    4. Save and exit. After enabling TPM, save your BIOS/UEFI changes and restart your computer. You can usually do this by pressing a key to save (like F10) and then confirming.

    After rebooting, TPM 2.0 should be enabled, allowing you to take advantage of enhanced security features or meet the system requirements for specific software.

    To enable TPM 2.0 on your CyberPowerPC system, follow these steps:

    1. Check for TPM Support https://betterjoy.net/ 

    Before enabling TPM 2.0, ensure your system has a TPM 2.0 chip installed:

    1. Open Device Manager:

      • Right-click on the Start menu and select "Device Manager."

    2. Locate TPM:

      • Expand the "Security devices" section. You should see "Trusted Platform Module" listed. Verify if it’s TPM 2.0.

    2. Enter BIOS/UEFI Setup

    1. Restart Your Computer:

      • Restart your PC and enter BIOS/UEFI settings. This is usually done by pressing a specific key during startup, such as DEL, F2, or ESC. The key varies by manufacturer, so refer to your CyberPowerPC’s manual if needed.

    2. Navigate to TPM Settings:

      • Once in BIOS/UEFI, look for settings related to TPM. This is often found under sections like "Security," "Advanced," or "Chipset."

    3. Enable TPM 2.0

    1. Find TPM Configuration:

      • Locate the TPM settings. It might be labeled as "TPM," "TPM Device," "Security Device Support," or "PTT" (Platform Trust Technology).

    2. Enable TPM:

      • Set the TPM option to "Enabled" or "Activate." Ensure it is set to TPM 2.0 if there is an option to select between TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0.

    3. Save and Exit:

      • Save your changes and exit BIOS/UEFI. This is typically done by pressing F10 or selecting "Save & Exit" from the menu.

    4. Verify TPM 2.0 in Windows

    1. Open TPM Management:

      • Press Win + R, type tpm.msc, and press Enter.

    2. Check TPM Status:

      • In the TPM Management window, ensure that "TPM Manufacturer Information" lists "2.0" under "Specification Version."

    Troubleshooting

    • Update BIOS/UEFI: If you do not see TPM options, ensure your BIOS/UEFI is up-to-date. Check CyberPowerPC’s support site for the latest BIOS/UEFI updates.
    • Check Documentation: Consult your system's manual or CyberPowerPC support if you encounter issues or specific configurations.

    Can someone assist me, I purchased my CyberPowerPC from a private seller however when they sold it to me they never gave me the BIOS password and they themselves said they've never touched the BIOS or anything so neither do I or the first owner know the password to the BIOS, is there anyway to reset my BIOS Password from my pc. I've already torn down my PC and cannot find a CMOS battery so therefore i do not know what else to do now.

    This was a really helpful walkthrough! I’ve been struggling for a while to figure out how to enable TPM 2.0 on my CyberPowerPC so I could finally upgrade to Windows 11, and most of the guides out there were either confusing or missing key steps. The way you broke it down here — especially showing exactly where to find the TPM settings in the BIOS and explaining what each option actually means — made everything so much clearer.

    To enable TPM 2.0 on a CyberPowerPC system, start by restarting your computer and entering the BIOS. Most CyberPowerPC systems use gaming motherboards from ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, or ASRock, so the key to enter BIOS is usually Delete or F2. Once you are inside the BIOS, look for the advanced settings related to security or CPU configuration. If your system uses an AMD processor, the TPM setting is usually listed as Firmware TPM or fTPM. If your system uses an Intel processor, the setting appears as PTT, which stands for Platform Trust Technology. Turn this option on and make sure Secure Boot is available if you plan to use it. After enabling TPM or PTT, save your settings and exit the BIOS. The system will restart and Windows should now detect TPM 2.0. You can confirm it is active by checking the security settings inside Windows. If the option does not appear in the BIOS, update your motherboard BIOS to the latest version and check again, because older firmware may hide or disable TPM features. Once enabled, TPM 2.0 will allow compatibility with features like Windows 11 installation and certain security tools.

    Thank you for the detailed guide! I’ve started going through the steps you've outlined to address the blue screen errors and game crashes. I’ve already reseated the RAM and plan to run the Windows Memory Diagnostic and SFC scan next. Hopefully, that helps stabilize the system.

    Also, just a quick note — I’ve got a Cost Estimating Services coming up soon, so I might need to delay the final steps like reinstalling Windows until after that. I’ll update you once I’ve completed all the diagnostics.

    You can upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro without reinstalling by using the Windows Store or a valid Pro license key. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation, choose Go to the Store to buy the upgrade, or select Change product key if you already have one. The process keeps your files and apps intact, similar to accessing advanced features through swiss chalet menu, and once completed, your Pro license is linked to your Microsoft account for easy future use.
