I'm trying to upgrade my system to Windows 11, but I'm facing issues with enabling TPM 2.0 in the BIOS due to it being outdated. I've read that this could be the reason for my problems. I've attempted to use the MFlash feature to update the BIOS, but it hasn't worked. I've also tried flashing the BIOS the regular way. To complicate things, I've got the correct BIOS files from the web, and I've used three different USB drives (512MB, 8GB, and 16GB), all formatted to FAT32. I've followed various methods of uploading the files, but mostly the BIOS file isn't recognized. On one occasion, when I attempted to flash it directly, the light on the BIOS button blinked several times, the fans spun up, and then the PC shut down, leaving the light on—indicating possibly that the BIOS file was rejected. I have also tried a step update without success. Any suggestions?

When you use MFlash, what does it show? You might not need to use the BIOS Flash button if your PC can actually POST without a problem. It's worth checking if MFlash is picking up the file correctly.
Have you tried turning off Secure Boot? Sometimes that's the culprit in preventing BIOS updates from going smoothly. It might be worth giving that a shot.
I haven't turned it off yet, should I definitely give that a try?
When I try using MFlash, the file doesn’t show up, even though the USB stick appears to be connected!
