Updating MSI gaming laptop to win11? TPM 2 is absent?

Have anyone experienced same problem ?   BIOS settings are abysmally small  and there is nothing TPM related .    I am on extended security updates for w10  but eventually  it will run off anyway.

    Proceed with caution
    I got screwed with a 5950x with a motherboard that supports tpm2 

    I'm now £500 down and running a 5800xt on a worse motherboard cos the system is bricked. No good reason but it's dead. 



    You need a specific disk partition type (gpt) for win11 as well as tpm2 and to be using uefi bios. 
    If any of that's missing or can't be enabled  you won't be able to use windows 11

    You could look into using one of the unofficial methods of getting it installed (eg. Rufus) and I'd strongly suggest you buy a new disk to do it on cos . There are a few options that allow you to strip out some of  the requirements for install. 

    Also - get pro, you can disable the worst of the  privacy/AI bullshit and run a local account on that (for now)

    Thanks poopipe    As I understand  TPM2  provides  an extra  layer of security in case the laptop is stolen.   Not much of a difference in case of ransomware or any online hack .   chatGPT said   I can force W11 installer to bypass the TPM requirement.   Is it true?    Did  anyone tried this?

    if you build an install usb with rufus (alternatives are available) it 'can' allow you to bypass some/all of the requirements

    it changes  depending on what microsoft patch so mileage  may vary
