Hi guys. Im in a bit of trouble here. I have a "GA-H61M-S2PV (rev. 2.0)" mainboard (with intel chip) and I tried to install Windows 11 on a second partition of my hard drive (my first partition is running Windows 7). Durring the process the installation told me I do not meed minimum system requirements. So the first thing I noticed was that I needed to enable TPM. However, my bios did not have this function so Im guessing my mainboard doesnt have this particular module. Now I've left myself with 2 problems
1. I tried to update the bios using Gigabyte @BIOS utility and now my Windows 7 wont even boot (even after clearing CMOS via on board battery removal). Additionally, I tried to reflash the bios using "Q-Flash" utilty from USB stick with the follow BIOS "H61MS2PV.Fid". I get the same result, my Windows 7 wont load. So I need to figure out why it has stopped loading. To be specific it trys to load because I see the Windows 7 loading logo then it quickly goes to a bsod type screen, then it goes to an option screen "try to repair windows" (it doesnt ever solve the issue) or start Windows normally (in which it cycles the same bsod and menu screen process). So I get nowhere
2. Is it actually possible to make a BIOS emulate the TPM feature for my particular mainboard, "GA-H61M-S2PV (rev. 2.0)"? (So that I can install Windows 11)
Thank you for any help in advance!
