My PC* will not update to Windows 11: it says TPM 2.0 not found. I checked in the boot menu and it says TPM 2.0 is installed and active. I checked on the Lenovo website and it says that this computer has TPM 2.0. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this. * Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (20U9) 14"laptop
TPM 2.0 not found, but....

Couple of checks on the TPM matter. Depending on the Laptop / Desktop scenario.
1. Go into your BIOS and make sure the chip or plugin is active in there. TPM is a built in on the latest motherboards so always check the BIOS to make sure its active.
2. If you have a TPM module plugin, power off, remove the side panel and along the bottomn edge of the motherboard youll find a single chip plugin. Carefully unplug it, once out put it on the case lid for safety and static shielding. Turn the PC on and let it boot. If it fails due to the TPM not being prenent then you know the chips working, if it completes boot and runs without it, then welcome to Windows 11 unbounded.
Power off and replace the chip, secure th lid. Reboot and go into your BIOS. Youll find the on off feature in advanced settings section usually in a patch of its own.
3. While you are in the BIOS, check your version number then when iots booted have a wander to the manufacturers web site and check fdor the latest version. If you know what your doing then download the bios update and install it. I know a couple of manudfacturers who appear to be a bit late in modifying the V1 / V2 patch. IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO UPDATE THE BIOS THEN HAVE IT DONE BY SOMEONE THAT DOES AND ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR BIOS IN CASE THE NEW ONE FAILS.
A return of information would help other users of the forum, Make and model of the PC Laptop, motherbvoard etc.
Feedback is always useful for everyone to complete the picture.
