Hey everyone! I'm a first-time builder and I'm running into a frustrating issue. I just built my new PC (you can check my specs here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jgbzGJ) but when I try to install Windows 11, I get a message saying my PC doesn't meet the requirements. That seems odd since my specs should definitely support it!
Before going into the BIOS, I noticed the VGA LED is red, and after entering the BIOS, the boot LED turns red too. However, both LEDs turn off when I reach the Windows key entry screen. I'm a bit confused and could really use some help figuring out why my PC is saying it doesn't meet Windows 11's requirements. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I found a workaround online that might help, but I get why you’d be nervous about those. Sometimes workarounds can lead to more issues down the road. If you're desperate, give it a try, but always take backups of your data! Better safe than sorry.
You might need to enable Secure Boot and set TPM to Auto or 2.0 in the BIOS. It can be a tricky setup, and those red lights can stress you out, but they might not be linked to your install issue. Just ensure all that is properly set, and if it still doesn't work, consider checking for BIOS updates.
Agreed, definitely check those BIOS settings for Secure Boot and TPM. Setting TPM to version 2.0 is often necessary for Windows 11, plus making sure Secure Boot is enabled on 'Standard' mode. While the red LEDs can be concerning, they might not be a sign of failure, just keep an eye on those BIOS settings!
First off, double-check that Secure Boot and TPM are enabled in your BIOS settings. That's a common hiccup for Windows 11 installs. If they’re good, those LED lights usually don't indicate a problem; they just turn off when everything's booting fine. Just make sure those BIOS options are set right and try again! Good luck!
