i purchased multiple boards for the alienware 17r5/15r4 as its the same board, but one of the boards seems to have its IME region locked to china which is preventing tpm2.0 from working/being activated within windows 11. (tpm is illegal in china) everything is setup in the bios correctly but tpm.msc and security processor shows blank as if its not enabled or present. is anybody able to do bios mods or know anybody able to do bios mods able to help out please ?

the Alienware 17 R5 motherboard will go into an Alienware 17 r4 and vice versa, you just need to move the heatsink and fans over with the board, ive done it myself. i have an alienware 17 r5 board + heatsink/fans in a r4 body. i also have a r5 motherboard in a alienware 15 r3 body also !!! and just for fun, the r4 motherboard goes into the r5 body providing you move the heatsink and fans over with it, same with the 15" also :D
