My old SSD was from an intel board. New board is am4. I was going to put in the SSD and wipe it on install of a fresh copy of windows 11 but the windows 11 installer from my boot drive says I don’t meet the system reqs. I have no idea what this could mean. I’ve got 16gb RAM and an r5 3600. Any help is appreciated

on some boards TPM isn't enabled by default, you'd have to look through your BIOS for TPM/PTT or whatever your vendor decided to call that feature, and enable it.

Literally installed Win 11 yesterday. 

 

Heres the guide I used. Literally delete a bunch of lines from a file using notepad and you should be good to go. Takes couple of minutes

Does this method still allow the regular W11  updates? I have s few pre-TPM PCs and all tutorials to circumvent the TPM requirement flat out state that this installation will prevent future updates (inc security patches)

No signature

I had Windows 11 22H2 update and some Cumulative update for .NET Framework. All of them installed with no issues after switching to Win 11 using that method

Your system is compatible with WIndows 11.

 

Possible issues:

  • CSM is enabled in your UEFI, make sure it is disabled (note: if the setting is wrong, it is expected that the system will fail to boot or find Windows. The drive needs to be formatted and re-installed Windows (you can perform the format from Windows setup. All data will be lost, backup your stuff first).
  • UEFI mode is disabled (this option might not exist. if it does not, you are good, assume it is enabled)
  • TPM was disabled, it needs to be enabled (look for: firmware TPM or fTPM).
  • SecureBoot was disabled, it needs to be enabled.
