Hey everyone! My motherboard just crashed, and since it's either a gen2 or gen3 model, I had to wipe everything and reinstall. I'm curious if there's any way to recover data from my device that has TPM and secure boot enabled. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, if you've already gone through the reinstall, it’s pretty much game over for your data. The TPM is designed specifically to prevent recovery of data unless everything is exactly as it was when the key was set up. If you're still on the fence about reinstalling Windows, you might be able to salvage something, but it sounds like your drive isn’t booting up.
I haven’t reinstalled Windows yet! My system isn’t detecting the boot drive because of the TPM. It shows the hard drive, but I can’t boot into Windows. Any chance there’s still hope?
