Dell G3 3779 17" Laptop Win 11 Update

The system doesn't have a TPM -- but the CPU should support Intel PTT (platform trust technology) unless it was originally sold in a market where TPM is illegal.

Look for that setting in the security settings in Setup.

@ejn63​ Hi,

there is no PTT setting either. The laptop was bought in the UK in2019

Hi

W11 should install with no problems, I have installed W11 on a 2015 HP laptop using Rufus.

It wont do updates as it's too old.  Your device should.

So have you tried, and any success/errors encountered.

The internet reports....

The Dell G3 3779 (circa 2019, UK version) does not have a discrete TPM 2.0 chip installed, but its CPU supports Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT), which is a firmware-based TPM 2.0 implementation compatible with Windows 11 requirements.

Key points:

• • The system does not have a physical TPM module, but the CPU supports PTT, which can be enabled in the BIOS to provide TPM 2.0 functionality needed for Windows 11 installation and features like BitLocker (source 3, source 5).

  • To enable PTT (firmware TPM) on the Dell G3 3779:

    1. Reboot and press F2 to enter BIOS setup.

    2. Navigate to the Security section.

    3. Find and enable Intel PTT or TPM 2.0 Security.

    4. Also ensure the system is set to UEFI boot mode (not Legacy/CSM).

    5. The system drive should be formatted with GPT partitioning for Windows 11 compatibility.

Much as @ejn63​ intimated it would.

@anne_droid​ Thanks, I am holiday now I will check when I get back.

Prego.
