I'm on inspiron 15 3567, and I'm in windows insider program, so I received an update for win 11..
But a message showed up and is says my PC can't run win 11 because:
-My PC must support TPM 2.0.
-My PC must Support secure boot.
I do have secure boot option in ths bios but it's not enabled, I don't have TPM but I do have PTT (I heard they do pretty much the same job) but the check box for PTT is grayed out so I can't enable it..
Check with your supplier. There are more than a few countries in that area of the world that disallow TPMs -- it is entirely conceivable that a system built for that market had the PTT functionality disabled due to local laws.
I called the supplier, and he said: " try to update your bios to the latest version, if the PTT option still there this means that PTT is available on your machine, and for the fact the check box is still grayed out this means there is another option should be enabled/disabled in order to enable PTT, more details will be available on your brand's official site."
I updated my bios week ago, and still the same.
I found an article on Dell about enabling PTT, it says there is some option(I don't remember it's name) in the Virtualization section in bios should be disabled in order to enable PTT, but I don't even have that option in the Virtualization section.
That information is not correct; the option will be there regardless, since the platform supports PTT.
If it's locked out, that's likely been done because of where the system was designed to be sold -- not because of a virtualization setting (which is a completely separate issue from support for PTT).
At any rate, the 6th generation CPUs aren't supported for Windows 11, so if that's your reason for wanting TPM, it's a moot point.
I did not do a complete backup as my machine had within the last couple of days been fully backed up but I would always do so as a precaution. Machine also appears to be working exactly as before.
I have 4 systems that have been cut out of Win 11 because they have a 7th Gen Intel processor. You might check for yours. Some of this info may change over the next several months.

Hi!
Advanced Boot Options → Enable Legacy Option ROMs → Uncheck.
After that, it should work.
