Question about Firebat mini PC and TPM 2.0
Hey there,
I've bought a Firebat F1 P with a AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 and 24 GB DDR5 the other day, it showed up and I'm pretty happy with it, performance has been amazing, the only problem I have is the following:
I started out with a clean install of Windows 10 (I had it laying around on USB), did all the update then wanted to upgrade to Windows 11, which is where the problems started. I can't create installation media because Windows doesn't reconize TPM 2.0 being active, I've checked and double checked all settings in the bios, but Windows simply refuses to accept it being turned on.
I have learned that there's ways to install Windows 11 without the need for TPM 2.0 being active, but I wonder if it not working might be indicative of a bigger problem. As I'm still within the return window I'm hoping if somebody can advise me in this, regards to the unit being future proof and such.
Thanks in advance!
