This is purely a DIY problem for six-month old systems.

Not a single OEM desktop or laptop sold in the past six months as new should have any of these issues.

UEFI is non-negotiable, TPM 2.0 is virtually universal, and you only need to be Secure Boot capable—not actually have Secure Boot on.

This tool expects the person that built the computer (Dell, HP, Lenovo, or the DIY enthusiast) to understand the terms.

But, credit to the author, it presents them in a very poor way. It should’ve noted UEFI / GPT wasn’t enabled first before any other error. But it assumes you know UEFI requires GPT which means using mbr2gpt.exe.
