Windows 11: TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

Valorant uses Riot Vanguard, an anti-cheat system. On Windows 11, Riot says you also need TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot. Many PCs have them but switched off in the BIOS. Check your motherboard maker's guide to turn them on. This is a normal security setting and is safe to use.
