Don't see TPM setting in bios
I have a Dell Inspiron 3671 with the 9th Gen i3-9100. Does this computer not come with a TPM? Or is there something wrong with the bios? Anyone know what's wrong? I'd like to update to Windows 11 if possible.

It's not specifically called "TPM" in the BIOS. As with most Intel based systems, in the BIOS, look under "Security", then "PTT Security" "PTT" is for "Platform Trust Technology" which is what Intel calls the TPM system. Originally, it was disabled by default. I don't know if any more recent updates to the BIOS enabled it, but that's where you check the TPM status.

@Anbry - While in BIOS setup, make sure that Secure Boot is enabled. You probably can't enable PTT unless Secure Boot is enabled first, and you might not even see the PTT option unless Secure Boot is enabled.

@RoHe Thank you. I did happen to figure that part out. I can see it being confusing though

@Spikesdad Thank you.It's weird because I watched a person with similar model Dells show TPM in the bios in a video. Regardless, thank you. I would have not installed Windows without the help.
