Enable TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot on MSI Prebuilt Desktops
MSI prebuilt desktops use Click BIOS — the same settings menu DIY MSI boards use, before Windows starts. You will enable Security Device Support (TPM 2.0), turn on Secure Boot, then save and restart. Take one menu at a time.

Step-by-step guide
Don't worry if your BIOS looks slightly different. Manufacturers often update colours and layouts, but the menu names are usually the same.
Enter BIOS
Turn on your PC and press Del until the BIOS opens — your PC's settings menu before Windows starts.
Switch to Advanced Mode
If you see EZ Mode, press F7 to switch to Advanced Mode so the full Settings menu is available.
Enable TPM 2.0
Open Settings → Security → Trusted Computing and set Security Device Support to Enabled. This is the main TPM 2.0 switch.
Enable Security Device Support first. Changing only PTT or AMD fTPM without this master switch will not turn TPM on.
Enable Secure Boot
Open Settings → Security → Secure Boot and set Secure Boot to Enabled.
Save & Exit
Press F10, then press Enter to confirm. Your PC will restart with the new settings.
