Or you add the chip and it still doesn't want to upgrade because you don't have secure boot enabled.
Can you do that?
Mine is a bios upgrade to add the feature apparently.
But I deliberately left it non-upgraded so I didn't get forced into 11.
Can I still upgrade or am I too late?
One of the requirements is full secureboot and recovery arrangements that didn't exist when I installed back in the 8 days. Now I can reinstall over the old drive and that will do all the plumbing that enables 11. So the hardware is 11 compatible, but the existing software install isn't.
*Edit to answer the question, no, it's not too late. Most compatible CPUs have a lesser firmware TPM, but most mobos have a slot for a vendor specific hardware TPM. Which is what I got.
