Microsoft will be providing security for my Win7 for another 14 months. So that might be a minute Jack

Hi JRT,
If your computer is only 2 years old you can probably enable TPM and Secure Boot in the motherboard’s BIOS. You may need to convert your hard drive from MBR to GPT and change your firmware mode from Legacy BIOS to UEFI. (There are plenty of articles on the web showing you how to do all of this.) As others have said, there are ways to upgrade to Win 11 if your CPU is on the currently "unsupported" list. Of course, this is assuming that you wish to install Win 11......... (Duh, just noticed that your CPU is supported....)

Please be careful....
You not only need to enable TPM, you also need to enable "Secure Boot".
For "Secure Boot" :-
1) Make sure your hard drive is GPT not MBR.
2) Make sure your firmware mode is set to UEFI not Legacy BIOS. (For 1 and 2 see https://www.windowscentral.com/how-conv ... windows-10)
3) Finally enable "Secure Boot". (To do this you need to disable CSM Support.)
Good luck. (I enabled TPM & "Secure Boot" on my computer, (Gigabyte motherboard), but I still intend to use Windows 10 for the foreseeable future.)
