Area-51 R5, enabling TPM in the BIOS

Trying to be ready for Windows 11, and was trying to see if my Area-51 R5 was compatible. Everything is good except the TPM requirement. In the BIOS I do see the TPM option disabled under Security but the option is greyed out and I cannot enable it?

Does anyone know how to do it?

    The reason that option is grayed out because you have legacy OPROM is enable. Enable "Secure Boot Control" under Boot section - which will then disable "Load Legacy OPROM" and then it will allow you to Enable "Firmware TPM". 

    I was able to replicate the issue at my end.

    In BIOS - Go to Security Tab - Enable "UEFI Firmware Capsule Updates" and also Enable "Firmware TPM" These should get you squared away with enabling TPM.

    That's my problem: "UEFI Firmware Capsule Updates" is enabled but I cannot enable the "Firmware TPM" that option is greyed out, I cannot click on "disabled" and change it to "enabled" If I press the down arrow key, it goes directly to "computrace"20211001_165540.jpg
