Hey everyone! I just built my PC last night, and when I tried to install Windows 11 today, it said my PC doesn't meet the requirements. I double-checked that everything was set up correctly—TPM 2.0 is enabled, it's UEFI only, secure boot is active, and I turned CSM off. I feel like I've done everything right. I've even updated the BIOS and tried both a retail drive and a formatted drive for installation. Despite this, I'm stuck at this annoying compatibility check. I saw a prompt during the setup process, and I always pressed "N," but my motherboard is brand new, so I doubt that's causing the problem. I'm really hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can help me find a solution. Thanks!

You might want to check the fTPM prompt again. If you keep pressing "N," you're basically booting without the TPM. You should press "Y" to reset the TPM since your system needs that reset for Windows to recognize it properly. This might just fix your compatibility issue!
Wait, are you saying I need to hit "Y" even if I've already enabled fTPM in the BIOS? Just making sure I understand right because I don’t want to mess anything up.
