[@arccadiaa]

i'm gonna be honest here and say this was by far the BEST tutorial yet! i have spent literally hours trying to figure this all out with other tutorials and every time was genuinely so confused as i know next to nothing about things in the bios. found this tutorial and followed along with it and was able to fix my problem immediately and am now able to instantly play all the games that weren't working before. thank you again so much for this, definitely deserve a like and a sub!

[@MXLLSZY]

Lucky, I can’t find out how to actually get the secure boost option available to enable it so I can’t get windows 11

I only have trusted computing and chassis intrusion in security bios

@@matthewmccabe3411 bro why tf it matter if it was one hour of searching or multiple hours? the point is, i was having a problem and all the videos that claimed they could fix it, didn't but this one did so i wanted to let the creator and others know. lighten up a little weirdo

I never knew what secure boot was, and I consider myself a PC savvy person. I manually tune my OCs and all that, but today I learned what secure boot is and a use for it finally lol. Thanks bud, time for the update. I waited a little while but seems most the chatter of bugs has settled down. I mainly just want dark mode since I use my PC a lot at night.

[@modernsoothingmusic5475]

TPM 2.0 is already included in the newer motherboards. The problem is in the older ones. I expect the gurus to use older motherboards to fix the problem. That way, it will make sense to many people who have the problem of finding the TPM in the bios.

[@nathanielfinuliar9623]

Hi Sir! I hope you notice this, I just want to ask upon running the PC Health Check it only says that the TPM must be enabled. while others are compatible to the requirements of windows 11, Does it mean that I should not enable my secure boot since it says that "This PC supports Secure Boot". I'm just a little intimated to proceed to this process...

U don't need to enable secure boot, I just enabled tpm 2.0 because that was the only thing required and now my pc has windows 11 😊
