"Secure boot state" Problems. Please help i've tried everything.

[epicisthefun1]

Recently a game i play has forced an error message onto me requiring I run the game with "Secure Boot state" enabled in windows. however this setting does not exist in my Bios. even after making sure my bios was updated/flashed. My bios mode was set to UEFI. I wasn't running in any sort of legacy mode. Or anything like that. It just does not exist. the setting is nowhere to be found anywhere on my PC or in my Bios

You are looking for the TPM module, which not everyboard supports.

What is your CPU/Board model? As any adivce will depend on what you have, or don't have.

I suspect your board is older since you said you didn't find the setting. So your solution may not be easy

- Get a TPM module to plug into the board

- Get a new CPU/Board that supports TPM

You need to enable "Windows 8 Feature" first.

That CPU doesn't really support TPM 2.0 (which I'm gueesing you would be looking for)

Straight from MSI site, lists which CPU's work, which is a few generations newer than your CPU.

I don't think there is a solution here, since the board has to support the function.
