I love old ThinkPads. I have a T410 that got wiped at some point that now I can't get the ThinkVantage button to work in Windows 10; I've yet to find a fix.

I now wish I hadn't recycled it, might of been able to bring life back to it.

You can get so much mileage out of a simple SSD swap on laptops from the 2010s, and with how cheap they're getting it's often an exponentially more economical option to do that vs shelling out for a new one.

BTW: If you get this message and are in the process or reinstalling windows, go ahead and clear it, be sure it is enabled, then install windows 10. TPM is often required for secure boot to work.
