I'm currently using Windows 11 and trying to wipe my system to do a fresh install of it. However, I'm getting an error that my computer doesn't meet the installation requirements, even though it's running just fine. Can anyone help me figure out what the issue might be?

Check your BIOS settings as well. Ensure that UEFI boot is on, and try enabling Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 if they're not already set. Sometimes getting these settings right can make all the difference.
A lot of people overlook the hidden requirements for Windows 11. I had a system that met all the specs on paper, but my CPU was too old, and Windows 11 wouldn't accept it. Ensure you have Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled in your BIOS, or you might run into similar issues.
Did you install Windows 11 yourself or did someone else set it up? If it was a different person, they might have used a tool like Rufus with settings to bypass certain hardware requirements. Make sure your hardware is compatible, especially the CPU and motherboard. It might also be worth checking your BIOS settings to ensure TPM is enabled and UEFI boot is set to 'on'.
It's crucial to use the Windows Media Creation Tool when creating a bootable USB drive. If you’re unsure about the requirements, check the official guide from Microsoft to see what you may be missing. If some requirements aren’t met, consider using Rufus for your installation.
Have you tried searching for solutions before this? There’s a lot of info out there that might help. Just sharing your troubleshooting steps could save you some time if you've already checked them.
