Is there a way to figure out which TPM bypass I used years ago to install Windows 11? (Trying to update to 24H2)

Open | Windows

I want to remove/reverse whichever TPM bypass I used from years ago to get Windows 11 onto my PC at launch but I can’t for the life of me remember which method I used and I don’t know how I’d even begin searching.

Turns out I do have TPM 2.0 and it just wasn’t enabled in the BIOS, and I want to get 24H2 via Windows Update but it isn’t showing up. Maybe there’s another reason that I don’t know of but it isn’t one of the blocks or guards or whatever, I checked in my registry. Plus I’d like to prevent future issues with updates, so I’d love to get rid of the bypass.

Would using Windows Update to reinstall my current version (but keep files and settings) be helpful, or would the bypass still be in place? I saw one person say that 24H2 showed up after doing that, but I don’t know if they used a bypass or not and if they did, if it would still be there.
