TPM, Secure Boot and Windows 11 BIOS setup

Important Before You Start

BIOS menus can vary depending on the exact motherboard model and BIOS version. JGINYUE, Machinist, SOYO and similar AM4 motherboards often use a very similar BIOS layout, but the wording may not always be identical.

Only change settings you understand. If you bought your PC from Pink Parsnip Computers and are unsure, please contact us before saving BIOS changes.

Motherboards This May Help With

This guide is aimed at common budget AM4 motherboards that use a similar BIOS layout, including:

  • JGINYUE motherboards
  • Machinist motherboards
  • SOYO motherboards
  • B350 motherboards
  • B450 motherboards
  • Similar AM4 motherboards using this BIOS style

Why These BIOS Settings Matter

Windows 11 requires certain security features to be supported and enabled correctly. The most common settings customers need to check are TPM, Secure Boot and UEFI boot mode.

If these settings are not configured correctly, Windows 11 may refuse to install, fail a compatibility check, or some games and anti cheat systems may show errors.

Key Settings Explained

TPM Or fTPM

TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module. On AMD motherboards, this is often shown as fTPM, AMD fTPM, TPM, Trusted Computing or Security Device Support.

For Windows 11, this needs to be enabled where supported by the motherboard and processor.

Secure Boot

Secure Boot is a security feature that helps the PC start using trusted software during the boot process.

On some boards, Secure Boot may only become available once the system is using UEFI mode and CSM is disabled.

UEFI Mode

UEFI is the modern boot mode used by Windows 11. If the system is set to older Legacy or CSM boot mode, Secure Boot may not work correctly.

CSM

CSM stands for Compatibility Support Module. It helps older boot methods work, but for Windows 11 and Secure Boot, CSM often needs to be disabled.

Step By Step BIOS Setup

Step 1: Enter The BIOS

Restart the PC and press the BIOS key while the system starts. Common keys include Delete and F2, but this can vary depending on the motherboard.

Step 2: Find The Security Or Advanced Settings

Look through the BIOS menus for Security, Advanced, Trusted Computing, CPU Configuration or similar sections. This is usually where TPM or fTPM settings are found.

Step 3: Enable TPM Or fTPM

Enable the TPM related setting. Depending on the BIOS, it may be called TPM, fTPM, AMD fTPM, Trusted Computing or Security Device Support.

Step 4: Check Boot Mode

Check that the system is using UEFI mode rather than Legacy mode. If CSM is enabled, Secure Boot may not be available until CSM is disabled.

Step 5: Enable Secure Boot

Find Secure Boot in the BIOS and enable it. Some BIOS layouts may require you to select Windows UEFI Mode or install default Secure Boot keys before Secure Boot shows as active.

Step 6: Save And Restart

Once the settings are correct, save the BIOS changes and restart the PC. The system should then boot with the updated Windows 11 settings.

Step 7: Check Windows 11 Compatibility

After restarting, check Windows 11 compatibility again or continue with your Windows 11 installation if that is what you are setting up.

Common BIOS Names To Look For

  • TPM
  • fTPM
  • AMD fTPM
  • Trusted Computing
  • Security Device Support
  • Secure Boot
  • Windows UEFI Mode
  • UEFI
  • CSM
  • Install Default Secure Boot Keys

If The Settings Look Different

These motherboards often share a similar BIOS style, but different versions may use slightly different wording. If you cannot find a setting, check related areas such as Advanced, Security, Boot, Trusted Computing or CPU Configuration.

If you are not sure what a setting does, do not guess. Save no changes, exit the BIOS and ask for help.

Important Warning

Changing the wrong BIOS setting can stop the PC booting correctly, cause Windows to fail to load, or make troubleshooting harder.
