I just built a new PC and I'm trying to install Windows 11, but it keeps saying that my system doesn't meet the requirements. Here are my specs: TUF Gaming B650-E motherboard, Ryzen 5 7600X CPU, 32GB Crucial DDR5 RAM, a 500GB M.2 storage, and I'm currently using a 1070TI graphics card as a placeholder until I get my new one. I think TPM is enabled, but I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?

Make sure both TPM and Secure Boot are enabled in your BIOS settings. It’s easy to miss one of those!
You mentioned that TPM is enabled, but I’d suggest double-checking that setting. TPM issues are a common reason for this problem.
What's the exact error message you're seeing? Sometimes the installer will tell you which specific requirement isn't being met. That info can really help narrow down the problem.
No specifics, just a generic message and a link to their requirements page.
Also, have you tried updating your BIOS? With Asus boards, TPM should be enabled by default after an update. Keep an eye out for specific messages during the install - like if it points to the CPU not being compatible. If you aren’t getting any details, how do you know it doesn’t meet the requirements?
No messages at all. It just says my PC doesn't meet the requirements.
I recommend using the tool from GitHub called WhyNotWin11. It’ll provide a clearer picture of what’s blocking the installation, unlike the Microsoft tools. You might need to check if TPM is fully enabled or if you're in legacy boot mode.
Both are enabled. I think I might have discovered the issue - I’ll keep you posted!
